    Is it possible to put the boards of one into another brand?

    This may sound like a dumb question and it's purely hypothetical (at this point). If you had a blown 2009 50" LG with a good screen and you find a 2009 50" Samsung with good internals (very different looking) but a broken screen, other than button and output placement what prevents you from doing the swap?

    firmware (aka. eeprom), pin configurations, possibly voltages used, crossbord signals, etc
    now it the tv was exactly the same and just a rebranded sammy than you could get away with it. but in your scenario wouldn't work, you would make smoke!
    Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

      You will have to match:
      Board mountings for all the board since sometime they use the mounting holes on the panel for boards mounting,
      The T-CON and signal lines, control line has to match the pin out and voltages to run the T-CON.
      Otherwise you may end up doing something like this:

      You need to look up the spec of the both LCD panels.

        Forgot to mention that I am talking about plasmas. I was thinking that there was a chance that the two might be using the same panel, as there are a limited amount of PDP manufacturers.

          If the replacement board has the exact part number as the old board. For instance, I just bought a TCON board out of a sanyo that worked in an LG. Yhey both had the same panel.

            Go to ShopJimmy.com and enter the model numbers for each TV. You should be able to tell if they use the same panel or internals.

              Even if all the connectors match the actual panel technology will be different (ramp waveform type (linear vs. R-C), buffer polarity/signal type, etc.) I don't see it working at all.

                Yeah I dummy-upped and did the shopjimmy thing after my last post. Didn't think it'd work.

                  Samsung, LG and Panasonic are all who produce high volume PDPs.

                  Some weirder ones like ORION-PDP and a startup in China are doing PDPs as well, but they represent <1% of the market. Very tough business to get into.

                    Yeah the nail in the coffin was when I googled "pdp manufacturers" and saw that both LG & Samsung were on that list.

                    It's a useful bit of info for the few that'll use the search feature.

                      Three 820-01700 32GB Logic Boards Same Issue: Won't Wake From Hibernate
                      by ugamazing
                      I have three identical-spec 820-01700 boards (2.6/32/512), and ALL THREE boards came to us with the same fault, from different sources: The boards don't wake from hibernation with the keyboard or lid, they ONLY wake when you press the power button. I understand this is a very minor issue, but the boards must be fixed!

                      We will of course begin with the obvious (checking lid signals), but I couldn't help but notice these three boards were all 32GB variants. Has anyone noticed an issue relating to these 32GB boards in particular? I of course don't think it's a RAM issue, but it's bizarre...

                      BEST 505 Vs Mechanic Brand Reballing Balls with Lead
                      by Stanley1843
                      Hello,
                      has anyone use these Brands of solder balls? The brand BEST writes on the label of the jar the specs of the solder balls instead of the Mechanic brand. I beleive that BEST brand must be more professional (in labeling at least) but I have never try one of them so I would like your opinion. By the way I hardly can I find the Mechanic brand in aliexpress (the only where I found was lead free solder balls) and on ebay these that I found are approximately15USD per jar. If you know any other trusted brand of solder balls please tell me.

                      Apple M1 Boards & Exclamatory Error?
                      by ugamazing
                      We've now created a stack of 10 boards that have the same issue, which we suspect to be CPU-related. The issue is very simple--the board will not boot to anything, only showing the exclamatory sign inside a circle. No amount of DFU/restore, wipe/erase, etc, will resolve the issue. No boards have physical damage. We went ahead and replaced the SSD nands on two boards (one 02020, one 02016) and the issue remained exactly the same. We are considering replacing the CPU on one of the boards using a locked CPU, just so we can see if it resolves the issue.

                      Has anyone else run into this...

                      Best place to source RAM chips? 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB
                      by ugamazing
                      I'm looking to upgrade several 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB for personal use. I am curious what the best practice and process is for sourcing new replacement chips, and what vendor(s) you guys prefer? Another question is, how do I find compatible chips and their corresponding part/model numbers? For example, in the 820-00850 schematic, the DDR chip U2600 model listed (EDFB232A1MA) corresponds to 1x32GB chip. Of course, I would need 4x8GB chips to replace the 4x2GB chips currently on the board. How do I find compatible 8GB chips? Is it as simple as searching "BGA178 8GB 2133"...

                      Legion 5 PRO, 3 boards, same problem, NM-D562 Rev. 3.0 motherboard
                      by hopkok
                      Hi friends, last week I got 3 same boards for repair (NM-D562 Rev. 3.0), same problem, power button light up, but motherboard wont start.

                      3,3V_alw and 5V_alw, 1,8V_alw and 0,75V_alw presented on all 3 boards, no other voltages. 1,2V missing and if I checked schematic right, I need 1,2V and than can be +3VS and +5VS generated after getting SUSP_N signal from KBC? or vise versa?

                      I checked for low resistance on coils, no low resistance.

                      Anyone with same issue like me?

                      Thanks for any help.
