video there, most of them work in a similar manner, he's testing without dismantle at about the 5 minute mark, that test at 5 minutes do with tv unplugged, the tester will do the work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkxm8jqqbQs

You should also retest those Voltages you reported since there are so many errors as shown.

Will do and report back @budm, its a bit hard being that the TV is so huge. I HAVE to test it with the board plugged into the TV right?

Welp guys, I think I have bad news =(

After spending so much time , I finally connected the backlight tester and it does seem that the panel is cracked. It was working fine while on the wall and sat in the same place since it was dropped of to me so I suppose it was cracked in transit. It makes sense because the guy said he wasnt getting any blinking only distorted picture when he took it off the wall.

This sucks as I am pretty sure, originally this was a driver issue which I could have fixed by cutting out the tabs but now theres nothing that I can do =(

Posting pictures shortly.

If indeed the panel is cracked, is it worth stripping it down for anything? Or should I just dump it?
