Bought the parts to fix the ballast, but cannot remove circuit boards to access parts.
The ballast is hard to completely remove--one plug all the way to the left as seen from rear and to the front, this does not really need to remove that.
The box is to the center and rear, unplug some plugs, screws and the box will come out far enough to replace the parts without removing the who thing from the set.
The large metal box with shields etc is the ballast.

Hi, if you take off the back cover of the TV. Once you take the cover off there is a metal plate in the middle that has to come off. Behind the metal plate you will see a metal box with holes in it, thats the ballast board. It can be a number of things. It can be the ballast board or the power supply board. Take the back cover off and turn the TV on. You should hear the ballast board trying to fire. It will try at least 3 times before stopping. Is your lamp light on in the front of the TV.
Thanks for using Fixya, If you have any other questions please let me know.
