Grrr What's Holding On Capacitive Touch Board to Frame ?

[mmartell]

I broke the damn socket removing the cable from the touch board that sits in the frame of a Samsung UN55D6000.

What holds these boards in place ? Are they wedged in or is there some type of glue underneath and is it safe to forcibly pry it up ?

it is glue. Well actually it's some kind of double sided sticky tape I have already pulled a few of myself. Yours must really be stuck I was able to remove mine with just a little force. If all else fails I have one of these touch board if you need it ..

best way to pull it off use a little heat at the same time it'll come right up

They're glued to the frame in most cases.

Ok thanks guys I will try and use a LITTLE heat it looks like a place that won't tolerate much (rather flexible and somewhat clear plastic bezel).

freak, you have the touch board from this model ? Have either of the LED backlight strips ?

freak you out there ? I got this off and proceeded to fix the wiring but can't see where the trace from the last pad (next to the CN1 silkscreen) goes to.

Can you check some components on yours for continuity with this pad so I can finish it up ? Thanks man.

What's the wire color going to that last.pad? The only one I have access to is this from a 40 inch lcd

The leftmost pad in the pic is grey the rest are black.

Here's a pic of the board and one with the markings. If you have the same or similar board point out on the third pic where you find continuity with the right-most pad from above pic (I've got the connector on now so you can't see really see it in these pics)

eBay seller amy_manas used a meter on one of these he had for sale (thanks bro!!!) and found the pad to lead to the diode on the other side of the board. Unit repaired. Thanks for the help fellas.
