Tom, bang on 12v that's whilst the set is doing its red hue thing.

Seems fine then. It's pretty much guaranteed to be t-con or panel, sadly, I think something on the panel is knackered. Can you get hold of a can of freeze spray?

Re: HELP Please with faulty TV

Yes it stays on 12v. Where do you think I should look next or do you think I should just give up?

Try freezing one tab bond or the other and see if it immediately gets better.

Re: HELP Please with faulty TV

That's a negative, absolutely no change when either of the tabs was frozen. The only thing that cures it is disconnecting the t-con then reconnecting. The hue doesn't come back straight away but takes the same time as if starting from cold.

It's a shame the T-con can't be replaced. Does any other part on the T-con respond to freezing?

Re: HELP Please with faulty TV

No I have tried each component and there is no joy. I know you say you cant replace the T-con but I wouldn't mind giving it a go. Don't suppose you know what soldering technique they use to attach it to the panel?

A multi-million pound laser welding machine and precision alignment equipment.

So there is no way its even worth me attempting? Man I hate this throw away society that we live in!!

Thanks a lot for your help Tom66 I really appreciate your time.

Not a matter of it being worth it -- it's simply impossible without the equipment, sadly. Now, they COULD make the connectors removable (the density is low enough for that to be OK), but they don't.
