    Whatcha think this one has? I think bad cable (not worth it)

    See pic here. It either looks like a bad ribbon or worse, damaged panel. But i want a second opinion.

    The only LG I have dealt with is one here with a Lien Chang PCB. This is an older LG design from around 2004 from an L1710S. I recapped it, so it works for a a while and then shuts off. The next step is to change the primary and a few smaller caps. I wouldn't be buying this stuff in auctions, if someone personally sold it to me or I found it I would work on it, so my advice is against buying it.

      Yikes! I can't tell the screen size here, but if its not pretty big (meaning big enough to make the brain damage worthwhile), I would think this would be a bear to fix. Judging by your experience level I've seen in your posts, however, I bet you could do it. I guess it comes down to if it is cost effective to do it.

          Wow....how'd you see the # enough to get the screen size?

          If its a 22", then I'd go for it!

            Followed your advice already. I picked up a 19" Sammy in PRISTINE shape for $50. How much work was required? ONE CAP. Will get me by till i fix my beast of a 21" CRT, and then will easily fly for double what i paid for it.

            And yes it was a 22", for the same $50 i paid for this one. I might think of grabbing it if it's still there after i sell this one.

              Cable Repair
              by Patch2
              I have a broken connector (believe it's a 6 pin mini-DIN) on a cable. The metal shroud and all but one of the pins are separated from the cable, and just stuck together for the photo. The other end is an unknown rectangular connector. The cable is for the foot pedals on an Italian made electronic piano, and the company is out of business. Looking for ideas on how to fix it. I have a soldering iron, but I'm not very skilled at soldering, so getting a retrofit for the broken end may be beyond my ability. The other end would be easier to replace, if I could get a mini-DIN cable with the same number...

              T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
              by Tr0ll
              Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

              The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

              Original T-con:
              Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

              First replacement T-con:

              I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

              HP-Pavilion x360 Laptop Dead After USB-C Cable Connection
              by fweonea
              While at university, I connected my HP-Pavilion x360 14-dw0156ng laptop, running Windows 10, to a monitor using a provided USB-C cable. Immediately after this, my laptop's screen turned black and the device stopped working entirely. There are no signs of life such as fan noise or LED indicators, holding the power button does nothing. I've previously used this same monitor model and cable without issues, the cable typically charges the laptop as well.
              I've attempted holding the power button for over 30 seconds, removing and reinserting the battery, and trying to power it on with only the...

              by marce002
              Hi all, please

              I just want to make a "usb c" charging cable from 5V power supply (have cut cable w/ red black green and white pins connected from factory.... i just want to use 500mah max !

              How do I connect this ? if I do not have CC1 /2 physically wired, how to proceed?

              NOTE: an identical new (not cut) USB A to USB C cable charges my phone but not the remote control!

              here is a picture of the remote, the cable to be used and a picture of what are the factory connected pins

              thanks in advance!!

              Hannspree HT 273 HPB USB cable type A to type B?
              by paparazzo79
              Hi guys.
              I purchased the monitor from the link below:
              https://www.hannspree.eu/product/ht-273-hpb/
              Since I will be using monitor from bed, I'd need longer usB type A to type B plug cable.
              I got one which is 4.5m long, regular one
              May I use it without harm to the monitor?
              I suppose cable which came with monitor is regular type A to type B,not some speical cable.
              I could picture what is labeled on the cable, if it matters for assistance.
