    General Questions on the Relationship Between Mainboard, TCON and Panel

    My goal here is to be able to use boards on hand to swap into faulty sets when the faulty board is not obvious.

    I will start by asking what is the format of the output from the mainboard and is it generic in any way or does it vary by manufacturer and/or model ?

    And as far as I know a tcon and panel must be a matching pair because the timing of the signals and the voltages required to drive the panel are specific to the panel itself. (That may be a blanket statement that isn't true in some cases where the panel creates its own sub-voltages on its panel boards?)

    Where and how can either of these be modified to help us either repair or aide in the diagnosis where obtaining proper replacement parts is impossible or expensive/not worth it ?

    LG 82UN8570AUD ~ TCON or PANEL?
    by kca
    Hello all ~

    Hope this finds you well. This LG 82UN8570AUD (April 2021 model) 4K UHD television has full audio capabilities but video is compromised / problematic.

    When I picked up this large LG tv it had a full black screen upon startup. Previous owner said it just went black one day. No popping sound or anything else of note.

    I got the display to work by taping off several traces of the right-hand side ribbon cable on the TCON that leads from TCON to PANEL. However, despite dozens and dozens of attempts to find the right combination / range of traces taped...

    TCL 50S535 bad tcon or panel issue?
    by x_orange90_x
    Just bought this for 10 bucks yesterday hoping to fix it. The guy said water dropped inside from a dehumidifier hose and it started showing black and white vertical bars then went blank. When I got it home and turned it on it came on fine and displayed correctly but I was noticing faint vertical bars in the image. After a little bit I turned it off and back on and it was a black screen again. I opened it up to check for water damage and corrosion but didn't find anything of the sort. I cleaned the ribbons anyway and reconnected them but still got a blank screen. If I disconnect the right side...

    TCL 43S423 TCON OR PANEL FAULTY???
    by netgearnetgear
    Good day, I have a TCL TV: Model 43s423. After turning ON the TV, the ROKU TV logo appears with fine lines over the whole screen, then after a while there are vertical bands in the middle of the screen top to bottom and the TV tries to update its firmware but I do not have the remote to connect it to my new network connection. Also the Power ON light blinks 2 times in quick succession. When I remove the ribbon on the right of the tcon board the left side of the screen shows but with fine lines. If I remove the left side ribbon and connect the right side ribbon the whole screen is blank with...

    un60j620dafxza - Samsung No Display Problem
    by stylishconsultant
    Hi All,

    Need help.

    I have a samsung un60j620dafxza led tv. When I plug it in it has no display, no sounds, and no standby lights.

    So I opened the tv and disconnected the power to the mainboard and the backlight powered up. This according to many people says that this is a mainboard
    problem. I checked the voltage coming from the stb and I read 1.3 volts on pins 1,3,5 and 7 which are low volts instead of 13 volts which i think the lcd panel
    might be drawing too much power from the power supply that it prevents the right voltage going to the mainboard....

    Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
    by advant
    This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

    I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...
