Problem with SAMSUNG LE22A457C1D Television

Good day dear friends.

I have this problem with my tv.

When i turn on the tv the led indicator starts blinking and the tv comes on for 1-2 seconds then the lamps turn off and screen goes black. When i look closely i can see the picture meaning the tv works fine but the lamps are off.

Now the power supply outputs the correct voltages to the main pcb. the problem i think is located at the section that powers the lamps.

Here is the power supply i am talking about:

This tv uses the TM-0917 inverter. I have removed this and i tested the coils with a multimeter.
Primary shows 0 ohms (shorted) (multimeter beeps when in beeper mood) shows 0 ohms at all scales. The secondary coils both give me a 1 Kohm if i remember correctly.
(measurements taken with the inverter removed from the pcb)

I have no idea if the values i measure are the values that the TM-0917 sould have but the 0 Ohms on the primary makes me think that it is shorted.

I measured voltage on primary and for the time period that the lamps come on i get 200V
If the primary was indeed shorted then i sould be getting no voltage correct ?

I think that the problem is either the TM-0917 or a little chip that the primary coil is connected to.

I have removed the TM-0917 and measured voltage across the primary coil terminals on the pcb.
I get no voltage at all. Could it be because the chip is sensing the absence of the inverter ?

I am a little confused here.

Any help apreciated !!!

I was thinking to test the inverter useing 220V ac

if it works then i should be getting voltage at the secondary coils.
If it is indeed shorted then it will just knock my house relay down (LOL)

But safety first so i am not going to do that because i really have no idea if this inverter is capable of takeing 220V input.
 
I found a schematic and it says that the primary coil has a resistance of 0,013 Ohm

That is why i read short circuit with my multimeter.

sounds reasonable :)

I have discovered that its most commonly the driver IC(s) for the lamp supply PSU section that fail
They are probably surface mount ones on the bottom side of the board
