Well bought a non working alba 42 inch tv that had signs of a bad psu, TV wouldn't start up, stuck in standby.
Opened the tv up and indeed the PSU was bad.. Another vestel! Replaced 2 caps and a diode and voila the psu was up and running again...
Problem... Once the tv started there were horizontal lines flickering and 2 solid 1px lines vertically... Well instantly knew that's a bad LCD panel.... Stripped the tv and inspected Tcon connections then across the ribbon cables for the LCD... after prodding 2 of the ribbons the lines flickered and changed... No chance of repair to the cables so I have a dead LCD.
Now my question, how can I find what other TV sets use this same LCD panel? I cannot find a part number for the panel anywhere and will be a lot easier to find a replacement panel from a doner set if there are other makes I can use with it.
Thanks
