LG 55LA6908 bad solder on main board

[ducttape]

Hi guys,

My parents have a 2013 LG 55LA6908 which is suffering from increasing in frequency intermittent issues, such as random shutdowns (POWER_OFF_BY_CPU_ABNORMAL), UI freezing, dying HDMI ports, etc... My guess is bad solder joints under the main BGA IC.

I was trying to find a new main board for it but I'm unsure of the compatibility between different parts, models/screen sizes and software versions. If someone could help me out with the compatible part numbers it would be very helpful!

Product code is 55LA6908-ZB.BEUYLJG with LC550EUG (PF)(F1) LCD panel.
Main board PCB is EAX64797003(1.2), sticker has bar code with "WJM33233C101048 / 897785815 / 55LA660S-LGD / EBT62297952"

I'm able to copy the EEPROM from the old to the new board, if that helps...

Thanks for the help!

Your part number is EBT62297952. The blank PCB is part number EAX64797003 and it may be populated differently for different models. Sometimes a different screen size main board from the same series may be compatible but you need to compare all the connectors closely. Have you tried a factory reset? LA and LN series aren't known for BGA failures but for bad backlights.
