    Can anyone help me out here? I replaced both the X and Y main and buffer, still have sound, but no picture. Could it be my main Control board where all the ribbon cable for the X and Y are conected are bad? Any help or suggested?

          I suspect this board might be bad. Since this is the board that gives me the picture, which is feed from the X and Y board.

              there's is no picture at all now, the screen is blank...I noticed when I turn the tv on, the main ctl board where all the ribbon cable connect to, the led light comes on. So, does that mean my control board is OK?

                Tom, here's a picture of the TV when I first brought it home, I suspected a Y board was bad, change that and also the x board. Now the TV screen is blank. Hope this help you help me troubleshoot the issue.

                  When I turn the tv on, I can heard the sound coming off of there, but still no picture with the new board. I did noticed that on the main control board. The little green led light does not stay on steady. It flashes a couple of times, and shut off and does it repeatly.

                    It looks to me more like a buffer board fault but I'm not certain.

                      which buffer board? X or Y, could it be a bad buffer board they sent me?

                        Y buffer.
                        Yes buffer boards are often bad.
                        Test yours, here is a video I made:

                            Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
                            by LEECH666
                            Good day ladies and gentleman!

                            I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

                            This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

                            I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

                            Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
                            by KYBOSH
                            Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
                            No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
                            The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
                            But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

                            When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
                            Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
                            Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
                            Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...

                            Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                            by TR103
                            Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                            - sound and backlight, but no picture
                            - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                            - it keeps rebooting
                            - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                            - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

                            Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
                            by Mgiffune
                            I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

                            I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and
                            ...

                            Samsung UE60KU6079 backlight okay mainboard responsive, no picture, no sound
                            by Ierwin
                            Hello everyone,
                            Ive got a UE60KU6079 on the workbench that is giving me some headaches trying to troubleshoot.
                            The previous owner stated that there had been white dots on the screen which from the description sounded like some lenses fell of the backlight LEDs.
                            He had opened the TV from the back, trying to get to the backlight, supposedly gave up, reassebled everything and gave the TV to me.
                            I expected the worst like ripped COF cables or a cracked panel but could not find anything like that yet.
                            Anyway I still fully expect that there has been something seriously damaged...
