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.
UN65RU730D - Bad Backlight / Good panel [ I've already attempted to replace the backlight and the replacement does not work on part of the TV ].
UN65NU6900 - Non-working / Apparent bad main board
I do have another 65" that has a panel that is shot [ spider web cracked / full black / no pic ] but cannot remember the model number.
So, those here with more repair experience, can I use the one of the known or assumed good panels on the other TV's on the TU8000?
They appear to be the same or very similar to each other. I have not been able to locate the service manual for the RU730D anywhere. I did find the service manuals for the TU8000 and NU6900. The manuals list the panel types as 65B6AU0GT and 65A6AUANN respectively.
I dont want to toss good parts or screw up a good panel due to some incompatability that I dont know of. And I especially dont want to fork out for a replacement panel.
If I can't swap the panels, then could the ribbon cable be salvaged on the original panel?
I patiently await the wisdom of those who know better than I.
Sorry about the bad edit job on the photo.
