This unit was manufactured November 2004. If the customer brings this to an authorized Toshiba shop will it be repaired under warranty or will the shop know the SMPS (and whatever else) was damaged by a power surge rendering the warranty null and void? Does it matter how the damage occurred while under warranty? I know there is the obvious, i.e. peanut butter sandwich inside. Does anyone have access to the above schematic, if it's available please send it along. BTW SMPS is dead; I mean really dead, there are no pulses at the gate of FET, nothing. I hate SMPS's, it seems that's all I do lately.
