    Swapping LG B7 components to something like C9?

    Hey. I've read plenty of discussion on AVforums, reddit, LTT, and etc.
    Has anyone succeeded with VRR? Anyone managed to use a different TCON board for possible VRR?

    My B7 has 16K hours and basically no burnin still, very slight on yellow, unnoticable in regular use.
    The bummer with it that it's HDMI 2.0b, so can't even fully utilize the panel, at it looks pretty much identical to the C3 that I've recently fixed by replacing liquid damaged components (Besides T-Con board, as the replacement one gave me vertical banding. Mobo came with release firmware, even updated to 3.20 with korean LG firmware file, yet banding remained. Luckily original T-con was not damaged. So I'm keeping it on older FW so I could root it later)

    Even if VRR isn't viable, what would be the best motherboard to choose for an upgrade for B7? As if VRR is not possible at least I'd take HDMI 2.1 upgrade.

      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...

      Sparkle 1200W PSU MAGNA Model: SPM1200AXJ8 - Broken. Need help identifying components. Any schematics available?
      by Sam Scarbo
      My Sparkle (SPI) PC power supply has broken. Originally, there was totally no power output. The 5V-standby was not there. I have replaced a few bulged capacitors but not helping.

      I was trying to do more troubleshooting but burned more components. Some got burned so badly that the markings were gone. And also, the markings of a few transistors were gone because the component surface was worn out somehow.
      If you happened to have disassembled the same PSU model, please help to provide the markings of some of these components.

      See the attached two pictures of the small...

      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...

      LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
      by Hakuu
      Hi There,

      This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

      After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

      More Details

      Please help to identify the components on Surface Laptop GO3, model 2013, i5-1230U
      by User2025
      Hi,

      I am working on a Surface Laptop GO 3, which is the new release 2024 with a i5-1230U processor. Originally, it had a 256GB SSD, then the owner attempted to upgrade it to 1TB SSD by himself. "Surprisingly", it did not boot afterwards, then changed back to the original SSD, did not boot either.

      It turned out to be that just a couple of components had been knocked off when the owner was trying to get off the SSD cover with his beloved screw driver.

      I do not have another board of same model. Although I have a Laptop Go 2, the layout of that bit...
