I don't have a picture of what I did. What I suggest is you find the clock signals yourself and then block them with tape. The way I found them was by looking at the main board and finding the labels near the ribbons. When I found CLK1 thru CLK8 (I believe it was) I followed the trace to the ribbon connector. Using a multimeter in continuity, place one probe on the the pin of the connector and run the other probe along the pins of the opposite side of the ribbon (the end that plugs into the strips on the panel) until you hear a beep. When it beeps you've found where that signal comes out on the other end. All you need to find is 1 and 8 then everything in between those are the remaining signals. Start by putting tape over all 8 and see what happens.
This is assuming your multimeter BEEPS when continuity is found.

Any pictures available of the working fix? I have the same TV in the same situation, but am unclear on what part of the ribbon cable for the right side I need to tape to attempt a fix.Leave a comment:

This one was more or less a proof of concept and personal achievement 😄
The ones I DO sell I've either replaced power supply components, boards, or most commonly, backlights. On rare occasion I get one that has nothing wrong with it at all.. And those are the ones I can't guarantee anything AT ALL.
But as far as used TVs go, they're just the same as used cars. You can put a new transmission in a car and sell it but 6 months later a head gasket goes. I may put a new power supply in a TV but I can't guarantee that the backlights won't fail next week. That's why I will honor my work and my customers for a respectable length of time.. but obviously not forever.

😆 I have way more than 4 in there! I fix and resell most of them. Just picked up another 55" Samsung 4k last night.. Added to the "needs backlights" pile along with a 55" Element, 50" Toshiba, and 75" Vizio. Funny thing is, I don't even USE a 4k in the house, only 1080p lol can't really tell the difference
It was just nice to save this one finally because I was probably one more garbage day away from evicting it.Leave a comment:

After watching the following video I think I might dust this TCL off and give this a try!
https://youtu.be/bdw8Mub9ReU?si=a2J11CRKriWQSTZP
If I do this, would I apply 12v to the VCC leg of that IC in order to get a "smoking gun"? About how many amps would be appropriate?
Lastly, do you think this may work on my case? 😁Leave a comment:

I previously did a resistance check on all of them and they read correctly. Should I check them another way? I don't understand how blocking the clock signals gives me grey on the right and image on the left, but uncovering just one makes the whole screen black again.Leave a comment:

I checked the left side voltages with the right side ribbon disconnected and get the following:
DVDD1 = 1.83V HVAA= 6.73V
VAA= 15.32V
VCM1= 4.19V
VSS1= -5.03V
VSS2= -8.91V
AVCM= 4.19V
Notice the left has VSS instead of VGL. So clearly I'm missing voltages on the right. If I check the left side with the right ribbon connected I get almost the exact same readings as the right side, so the right side brings down the left when it's connected.

All ribbons attached, no tape, and power on:
DVDDI = 1.83V
HVAA = -3.8mV
VAA = -0.376V
VCM1 = -0.363V
SPI_DI = 120.6mV
SCK = 120.3mV
SPI_CS = 3.25V
SPI_DO = 3.27V
VGL1 = -3.0V and increases toward 0
VGL2 = -8.93V
AVCM = -.362VLast edited by x_orange90_x; 12-12-2023, 06:23 PM.Leave a comment:

Check also VGH, VGL, 3.3v..., there are many more control points thereLeave a comment:

I also checked all of the caps for short to ground and all are ok.Leave a comment:

I'm going to reattempt the tape trick tonight and I'll take a photo of it for you. I'm hoping I can find a bad component on the scaler to fix the issue rather than the tape. If I can FIX it the image will be perfect, but the tape trick will likely cause some lines or something.Leave a comment:

by m1ch43lzmHi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic... -
by jb_BakHey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.
Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
CN6401
Pin 01 NC
Pin 02 NC
Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
Pin 04 "N/C"
Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
Pin 06 "GND": N/C
Pin 07 "AC_OFF"... -

Issue: No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change
Short answer: replace main board and power board
Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.
Long answer:
TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge.... -
by advantThis thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.
I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match... -
by Asraf AtbHi everyone,
Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.
Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.
I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....1 Photo - Loading...
