    Help with inverter board - pics attached

    Hello all,

    First of all I want say thank you to all of you because I have learned a lot from it. I am a newbie trying to fix his TV.

    I have a 42" Digital Lifestyle TV that after just watching a movie the screen when black. The external power LED turns green and stays green. And I can hear the turning in on clicking sound. So my conclusion by reading this forum was to check the inverter boards. And as expected, the capacitors on each inverter board (master and slave) are bulged.

    Anyways, I have ordered the new capacitors and I am just waiting for them so I can replace them. However while I was disconnecting the cables from the inverter board I accidentally pull to hard and broke the shell that protects the pins where a cable connects. I don't know how this part is called but take a look at the pictures.

    What do you guys think? Can I fix this? I am really new to soldering but i have manage to fix some easy projects.

    Is this little broken piece important? or is it just there to glue the pins shell to the board and I won't have a problem without it?

    If it is important do you have any tips on how to solder it again? It is a very very small tight place that I don't think my soldering iron tip will fit in there.

    Please help!

    Thank you so much in advance.

    That is just the connector holding tabs so it will stay on the circuit board, the male pins are the one for electrical contacts.

      Thank you sooo much budm! I am happy to hear this...I am sorry for my newbie-ness

      Just to make sure I understood correctly, you do not think that I need to fix/solder this, correct?

        As long as the connector will stay in place, you will be OK.

          A small bit of glue may be advisable but that is all.

            isn't there a pin showing on the fragment? It looks like it in pix 3, and 4.

              Great news! Thank you all for you help.

              Fortunately, it's just the corner. There is no pin on it. What you are seeing on the last pics is just a small plate but no male pin on it at all.

              The capacitors for the inverter board just arrived. I'll keep you posted if that fix the problem.

                Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
                by lostone
                Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

                First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
                When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...

                Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                by Tynan Dill
                I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                Assuming...

                TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
                by howardc64
                All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
                • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
                • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

                Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
                by jb_Bak
                Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
                Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
                CN6401
                Pin 01 NC
                Pin 02 NC
                Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
                Pin 04 "N/C"
                Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
                Pin 06 "GND": N/C
                Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...
