Here's a pic of the board.



Is there any way to be sure it's the problem? Something to look for or test?

Yes, can you do the hairdryer test on it?

Tried the hairdryer on the T-con - no change.

OK, perhaps you can hook it up to a video source and see what happens when it fades out -- perhaps it freezes or the video continues.

hooked it up to my laptop - had to push the input button blind until something came up as the display of anything is hit or miss (right now is a miss). Got it to the right one and this is what I saw - should have been the desktop with folders & files:


Played a video to see how the image changes - and this must have been the "sunset" we saw - maybe on the tv input at the time:



For reference - this is a photo of the laptop screen, showing the video that *should* have been playing:

I have a feeling it's still a panel failure. Look at the video:

But perhaps the bonding failure has been permanent and cannot be fixed, but I have not had this happen before.

it sure does look like that. but without the moments of video. I think I'm done for tonight - thanks so much for all your help. Not sure what to do beyond this point.
