    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.

              For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

                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.
