    Panasonic THL42U20A Needs New Main Board!

    I've got a Panasonic THL42U20A with a faulty main board. Attempted to replace capacitors after some weird readings and broke a solider track in the process. Doh, I'll be more careful next time. I'm struggling to find a new board, the model for the board is TNP4G468.

    Anybody know where I can get one? Note it can't be the one with the Ribbon LVDS cable. There seem to be a few of those under the same model for some reason.

    just about near impossible I'd expect unless you get lucky on ebay. don't forget the revision when looking, 2 letters stamped on the board.

    I know for plasma, the A boards are similar to NZ market but our broadcast system is a different frequency step to theirs and everyone I else i suspect.

    so whilst it will look the same, you'll never tune a channel. I have experimented and converted a NZ to AUST swapping all the eeproms/flash chips across.

    Don't know how it goes with the LCDs.

    So would the caps have fixed it?

    What was the original fault? Is it not possible to jumper the broken track?

      The backlight comes on but no image on screen, the board appears somewhat responsive as when I press the AV button I get a slight flicker but I can't get the set to make sound. I've already tried replacing the T-Con board.

        Do you have a digital multimeter to make tests? Could be a repairable fault.

          Yes I do and I found some weird readings on some capasitors but in the process of removing a surface mount cap I pulled off a track.

            Take a good pic showing the damage. Pace makes excellent videos available through U-Tube. If you got questions a lot of highly qualified techs can answer them

              Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?
              by Dani_2024
              Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
              I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
              Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

              Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

              LG 55NANO77SRA TV – Menu scrolling by itself even after removing button board (Main Board EBU66792103)
              by ygorsan
              Hi everyone,




              I’m looking for help with a persistent issue on an LG TV model 55NANO77SRA, which uses the main board EBU66792103 (also used in LG UQ80 and NANO75/NANO80 series).







              🧩 Problem Summary:
              • The TV keeps scrolling through the menu or selecting items by itself.
              • I removed the physical button board (the entire panel with power and volume buttons) and also disconnected the flat cable (CN202) from the main board.
              • The remote control is not in use (batteries removed), and the TV still shows the same behavior.
              • I

              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"...

              (SOLVED) - ONN 100012588 No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

              Issue: No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

              Short answer: replace main board and power board
              Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

              Long answer:

              TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....
