TV on a dimmer switch?!?
Hiya everyone,
I have an interesting one for all of you. My wife does improv comedy at a local bar in my area. In one of her conversations with the owner, she mentioned that I was "into" eletronics. He asked her if she would have me look at two of his televisions that aren't working. Generally I shy away from "favors" such as this. But, when she told me the story of what happened to the TV's I got curious. Apparently he plugged in the sets on a wall circuit that is on a dimmer for the overhead lights. Needless to say, the TV's didn't like that very much when the lights were dimmed. They both now give that neat "click click click" when turned on. Now I do work on electronics, but computer based for the most part. Monitors are very close to televisions and that clicking usually means the MOSFET is not firing the flyback. Would this be the same for these televisions? The sets are both Sharp 25K-M100. Any info (or "witty jibes" at plugging in two TV's on a dimmer circuit) would be appreciated. Take care, Tofer |
