    Gateway TFT30W90, TCON replacements, or screen swap

    Hi all,

    I have a Gateway TFT30W90 monitor. It is an early 30" WUXGA model, and when it worked, it was gorgeous. These monitors are notorious for having cold solder joints on the T-con board, and it's getting old now, so even if something were available in the market, I'm liking going to have the same issue(s).

    Questions:

    1) To what extent are T-CON boards interchangeable? Is there some common data format for the data in/data out that most manufacturers adhere to?

    2) Is it possible to hack the LCD to be used in a different monitor?

    3) Does anyone know where I can replacement TCON boards for this monitor?

      Sony 8K XBR-75Z8H White Screen Vertical Bars Tcon Code. Help Needed🙏
      by Daren87
      Hello everyone,

      I've recently been given a Sony 8k Z8H. It's got a white screen with two vertical black bars. At times it's given me the 5 blink Tcon code. Testing voltage on the Tcon I can see some low or missing voltage. I've done a basic visual check of cables and the COF. Not seeing anything obvious. The original Tcon seemed to have good caps until turning it over. On the bottom I found maybe 10 caps with both sides of the caps shorting to ground. I thought ok these caps and likely other components on the Tcon are shorted so let's try a replacement Tcon. I just received the...

      Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
      by Ryan.man
      Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

      My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

      This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

      Lg TCon test pins for screen test
      by alltvrepairs
      Hi,
      i have a 65 Panasonic TX-65HX710E using vestel 17MB170 main and Lg tcon.

      Few drops of water fell probably near COF and have no display. Tried removing tabs but no.part of display present as if tcon fuse open. However 12v is present and tcon can be felt warm enough that supplies are present. Backlight and sound ok.

      Anyone knows if this TCon 6870c-0805A has any special test pins for rgb test?

      Appreciate your help....

      iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
      by smic717394
      Hi,

      I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

      Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
      by Chrissygizmo
      Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
      I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...
