    Seeking manufacturing data sources for TVs

    Hey there badcaps forum. I am looking for information and I would like to know if anyone has such data, or knows of data sources (professional companies or institutions) that might have what I am after. I need a data set of all models of televisions manufactured for and distributed in the US market from the years 2009 to present, categorized by company/brand. Secondly, information on what main boards, power supply boards, inverter boards, ect. are in each one of those models of televisions. If its not free data, then I dont mind paying for it. I have been on lots of forums about cars, computers, and whatever and most people on those places are dumb. Badcaps however is great, you guys give real advice and solutions. That is why im looking to you guys for help.
    Thanks in advance.

      That is a lot of info! Sames model can have more than 1 revision of manufactures of the boards, panels, etc. They can have one contract manufacturers built the set for 3 months, then they can go to another manufacturer for the next six month to make the same model to lower the price. Shopjimmy is a good place to see how same model can have more than one manufacturers of the boards/panels.

          yeah that totally throws a wrench in the process, I just see it as a hurdle for now. To start, I thought about harvesting data from shopjimmy, but i decided that my time is more valuable, so thats why im on the hunt for already collected information. I have seen dudes here and there on ebay selling boards and in the description they list all the television models that board gos into. Seeing that made me assume that professional TV repair techs might have access to information/network I might not know about because im not a tech and I might not "speak the language" well enough yet. As for what models LG, or Samsung, or whoever put out by year should not be too hard. Im not expecting anyone to have the whole puzzle, but you might have a piece. Even if you dont have data, a suggestion on where to look would be appreciated.

              The fact that the same models can have various different parts is a huge issue. I'm just getting into this hobby and have run across it tons already. There is a thread that I just started this morning on a vizio E550VL that is a great example. I've found 3 different panel versions and 4 main board / T-con configurations for that one TV.

                  I just looked at a 40" Samsung this morning that had a main board that could be substituted with probably 30 different part numbers.

                      That's a much better situation that I was dealing with. 4 different numbers for one TV which can't be substituted for each other or anything else. lol

                              by AustinCER
                              Hello, I currently have a Dell XPS 8940 in our office for repair.
                              Service Tag: HG1Y673
                              The most recent BIOS is pictured below -- being available as an .exe on Dell website.

                              Needed a new motherboard due to power surge. The motherboard replacement was installed and upon power up it was booting to a display message - Manufacturing Mode Active -

                              Have not dealt with this issue before or what the proper steps are. I booted to the BIOS and manually entered the Service Tag, but upon each reboot -- the service tag is wiped and shows the Manufacturing Mode display message,...

                              The Mystery of 'Manufacturing Mode' - Dell Motherboards
                              by CapThatBrass
                              Hi,

                              Firstly sorry if this is the wrong forum for posting this question - please recategorize or move to another part of the forum if necessary.

                              I've been doing alot of research recently into the world of BIOS editing and building of images, out of curiosity mainly.

                              Lots of Youtube videos as well as threads in this forum (as well as others) mention the term 'unlocked' bios which generally means the removal of BIOS passwords from a dumped image to allow full access to the BIOS/UEFI menu. However, a handful mention that a prompt for the Service Tag will...

                              Dell 9310 (2-in-1) bios to fore manufacturing mode
                              by jlxxxx
                              I have read the FAQ, and other reference here to changing the EC region of the flash image to force entering manufacturing mode.
                              How would I modify the dell 9310 firmware in order to force entering manufacturing mode? The goal is to have the computer ask me to enter the service tag after changing the motherboard.
                              Can this be completed using the boot-up USB restore method that Dell supports in order to reduce risk of damaging the hardware further? (Ctrl+Esc keys while holding the power button)
                              Dell provides this bios here: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/dri...

                              Dell G15 5515 RGB Keyboard Not Detected (Compatible Keyboard, Possible BIOS/EC Issue?)
                              by NotEnough
                              Hi everyone,



                              I'm working on a Dell G15 5515 (Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050 Ti) and recently installed a compatible 4-zone RGB keyboard and controller (for Dell G15 5510/5511/5515 models). While the keyboard functions for typing, the RGB lighting is not detected by Alienware Command Center (AWCC), which displays “No AlienFX devices found.”



                              What I've Tried So Far:
                              • Reseated the cables.
                              • Reinstalled AWCC and AlienFX services.
                              • Attempted BIOS downgrade but no improvement.
                              • Inspected ribbon cables for damage.
                              • Explored the possibility of BIOS or
