    Envision H819: Any ideas to save this LCD panel?

    Initial problem was no signal message then followed by no display when VGA signal is present. That was solved easily, but when the monitor came alive then was greeted by (aargh!) LCD panel issue. A quick look at the LCD panel, noticed a patch of weird black dust at one section of the output lead tab and tape carrier (not sure how that stuff even managed to get in there). After removing the dust, the source of the problem became apparent. For some reason, was that "black dust" corrosive? Even a few solder pads and through holes were literally gone...

    See attached image for the damage. Those output leads are really tiny (under 0.5mm mostly). If one at a time then may not be hard, but the most difficult part is the group of 4 to 5 of them together (next to each other). Any ideas on how to deal with those?

    You can try with silver paint (few dollars on ebay, don't buy "wireglue" it's a robbery) and a very sharp tip. first you must remove green paint/laquer on tracks with finest glassed paper

      There is some experimentation going on with 3M conductive tape but nothing solid atm.

        At first had considered conductive pen but the finest tip at 1/16 inch (roughly 0.8mm) is still greater than 0.5mm required. Perhaps can try using a mask to reduce the width. Already looking into that silver paint, but not sure if that "wireglue" meant the syringe thingy. Maybe you can point it out, as to which silver paint product...

        Worse with tape as I can't cut that fine (literally a hair's width). Check out the image attached...

          No need to cut, you just need exposed metal on both sides. It conducts only in parallel lines.

            Yes is the syringe type is the right thing, with very few product inside, wireglue is a white can/bottle with black paint in it, don't buy it. you use a sharp tip to place it on.. bye

              Update: After a continuous 20 hours of tinkering (including much eyestrain and some frustrations) and hard work, finally saved this monitor from becoming land fill material. Finally figure out a way to deal with that group of 5 broken/corroded superfine traces (each about the width of a hair). And I wasn't using conductive pen nor silver conductive paint...

                  Wow good work, but the picture is not so explanative, you have fix them with tin? I have a cutted FPC (ribbon connection) from a 37"lcd tv with 3/4 traces cutted, i have done tests on a unuseful FPC and restore connection with flux and tin, maybe the presence of flux let the tin not to do the wanted bridge.. so have you used flux?

                      Never thought it could be done. Notice that with those single standalone broken traces I have little trouble to fix. But do notice the size of the wires compared to the traces. That brown wire is the usual wire used for repairing and patching PCBs (with very thin hardy insulation), which is already quite thin/tiny and yet looks monstrous against the group of 5 broken traces. No way I could put these side by side. Then I used a single bare strand from a multicore wire for the other standalone broken trace. Still a little too big (will touch each other side by side). After some searching finally found a super thin bare strand from the shield of a RF coaxial cable.

                      Nope, solder bridge does not work. The iron tip is too big. Mine is already around 0.3mm and yet not good enough. Solder get mess up all over the place creating shorts between traces. Need an iron that has literally the size of a needle point to work this problem, but can't find any in my arsenal of that tiny. Tools for the solution was...

                      - Jeweller loupe with 15X magification (higher is better). Meanwhile my all other usual magnifying tools were useless (those usual 2X, 4X and 5.8X ones)
                      - Snap-offf blade knife
                      - Fine tip soldering iron, at least 0.5mm (smaller is better).
                      - Soldering flux
                      - Isopropyl alcohol
                      - Micro-cutter
                      - Flat head test pen or small flat head screwdriver
                      - Polyimide tape and paper tape (after my polyimide tape ran out). The paper tape did burn (became blackish) but held up well. Do not use cellophane or any other tape than can deform with heat.

                      The trick is the usage of the tape itself. Used quite an amount, with many pieces of tape per connection (at least 6 pieces). Used it to prevent the iron from affecting the neighbouring already finished repaired trace. Trust me, had headaches with my iron picking up the wire bridge accidentally all the time. It was so tiny that I didn't notice it until I re-checked again. The wire bridge picked up was nearly invisible at the iron tip (with my bare eyes)...

                      Sometimes it took me up an hour just to put these pieces of tape into place. And up to half an hour to prepare the wire bridge itself (to make sure all is ready before applying the iron)...

                        I hope i have understood, translating is difficult for me, you said: "a single bare strand from a multicore wire" do you mean a single cable from a multi cable cable (sorry i have to repeat cable) or a single wire (filament) from a little cable (or call it wire if you want, with insulation)

                          That was the reason for many pieces of tape, to create a mask so that only a tiny area is worked on (thus the iron tip will not affect neighbouring traces and other soldered stuff) . Also I used the tape to hold down the super thin/tiny wire. Pretty hard work to put all the tape into place, as the width of the opening/window (for the iron) is literally a hair's width (thus many adjustments required, often have to peel the tape off again to move it).

                          Perhaps I should have said a single filament from the outer conductor of the coaxial cable, or a single strand from a multiple strand core wire. See attached image. Also a close up of the area and the wire relative sizes. After tinning that super thin wire, it got a little thicker though...

                              by howardc64
                              49UJ6500 LCD panel has a lighter band on top when first powered on. Goes away (or gets much fainter) after TV on for a few min. After powered off for awhile and power back on, same band appears. If powered on immediately after powering off, no or much fainter band. Running the latest firmware.

                              Disassembled the TV and lifted the LCD panel during testing. Band is on the LCD panel (can see the band on the panel as I lift it slightly) Backlight is perfectly even at the top edge. Double checked LCD panel alignment in the frame and is perfect but since band moved with the panel, its on...

                              by triplefour
                              TV flashes backlight then reboots over and over. no image. Client said it used to have image for a bit before rebooting. Got worse over time.

                              tcon is built into mainboard.
                              Only one cable goes to panel boards.
                              there is a cable from one panel board to the other that links them.
                              cost cutting measure that results in us having harder time to diagnose.
                              removing the link to the second panel board allows TV to stay on with stable backlight but no image.
                              used cut off tape method to mask 1 maybe 2 pins on the side of the cable that goes to that second panel board....

                              I had a the above tv qn55q60r that had a bad panel but everything else good. I had another panel here from un55nu6900 with bad leds and melted diffusers.

                              I put the nu6900 panel in and powered it up and it does work but there are lines vertical lines.

                              I was trying to change the panel type in the service menu but don’t see my exact panel. Anyway to fix this or someone have similar experience.

                              the clear picture is the panel type from the service menus on the nu6900. The other 1 is the panel type that was set for the q60r with the bad panel....

                              by KYBOSH
                              I came across a 50inch TU8000 that wouldnt start up properly (blinking stand-by light, backlights would cycle on and off).





                              When i opened it up and removed the power to the mainboard the backlights powered up and everything looked uniform.
                              When reconnected the mainboard but disconnected the flex cable to the panel i heard the TV startup with the intro sound.






                              Later I checked for shorts on the panel PCB boards but could not find anything.
                              When I took a look with the FLIR i noticed the 2 resistors...

                              Samsung UN65TU8000 - Panel Issue [ hole in ribbon cable ]
                              by NWArkGuy
                              Well, I will be the first to admit that I screwed up...

                              In attempting to replace the backlight in a UN65TU8000, I made a hole through one of the ribbon cables between the board that runs along the bottom of the back of the TV and the panel. This lead to a between a 1/4 to 1/2 inch vertical stripe running the full height of the image.

                              I don't have the experience; personally, to solder a bridging wire for the paths that were cut. So, I have been on the hunt for other Samsung TV's of similar size.

                              I have 2 that I have found and have in my possession. ...
