[Diah]

Should I order the U ribbon cable right away or should I go ahead with the testing you described earlier?

[lotas]

+ Missing components.

[Diah]

yes it is.... but still could be there another issue,, caused by smell and smoke lol

[tec3000]

..

I was hoping you'd say that! Because I have just discovered something! One of the U ribbon cables is ripped. That's good news right? Likely the cause for my issue??

[Diah]

(I wrote it above. It was just a reflection!)

Thank you for the detailed description. I will do this now but before I need to know something: what and where is the U ribbon cable??

there are another way to know why the gamma dead and where the issue.... using the original T-CON and the replacement one we need to do it in points turn on and check the screen
A- with Original T-con in place all 4 ribbon cable connect to panel
1- disconnect only left side U ribbon cable after test if no change put it back
2- disconnect only right side U ribbon cable after test if no change put it back

B. disconnect 2 ribbon from left side after test if no change put it back

C- disconnect 2 ribbon from right side after test if no change put it back

do all points again with replacement T-con

This is more likely a reflection from the flash.

Yes, luckily it's just a reflection! I took another pic.

[Diah]

yes indeed...not only this from his last photo it show part of screen are off... like U ribbon... but i think he know now after many fail how to access

[lotas]

Only 1/2 of the slats are visible here, half is hidden behind the body panel...

if this the case then this line heated and lost the green color,, and maybe cut off ... i hope so

photo No 2. there are unclear things to me... check them

and you have 2 U ribbon cable connect 2 half on one side together... carefully take them out and inspect them

[tec3000]

they pass..
let check from the bottom... show the panel puffer boards if there any sign of burn parts or trace

and here the pics:

[tec3000]

they pass..
hope you didn't remove or play with ribbon white the TV on..

I have, I have.
Since then the TV is like that. It also smelled a bit. I told about this when it happened a couple weeks ago. Remember? But I bought the cables and the t-con board AFTER that. Since then I didn't do any cable detaching while the TV was plugged in. Lesson learned....

ah, that's because it was an unused one. I got 10 instead of 4 from China! Here I just de-attached one of the new used one. There you see the marks:

[lotas]

The thickness of the contact pad corresponds to the original. There are no traces left from the clamping of the connector, as if there is no contact..

[tec3000]

Yes, that's what I thought. Then I aligned them as Diah said and it looks close. (Pic1)
But the length of the pins is definitely different. The originals are longer. (Pic2) Is that a problem?
