    Double check the area that were serviced.

    Being battery related, do check the voltage to ground of the SMBUS SCL and SDA pins on the battery connector.

    If the voltage reading is not ~3v on each pin, then the TV's esd diode is a suspect. Sometimes, the ESD protection diodes will get zapped during the manhandling of the logic board. This zapped diode will then shunt the signals used for communication.
