Hi pople with tinkering minds,
I have a 5 year old 42LG5000. The unit fires up normally and
works perfect for 20 25 minutes, than the picture gets darker
up to a point (its still watchable) and it stays like that.
I found the same model working TV and replaced all the cards
except the T-CON card because the panel was slightly different
and nothing changed the tv still got darker as usual.
I wiggeled the tabs around the panel but there was no change as well.
I strip the panel all the way to the CCFLs and the bulbs and
caps looked fine.
The only thing left is to change the T-CON board, which is quite warm
when the picture becomes darker.
Before ordering this not so cheap board (not cheap because I have to order it overseas)
I wanted to ask you guys if its worth changing the T-CON board
or just watch the TV as is.
Any suggestions... I will try to add before and after pictures
