    Lg 42LM615T and 47LE5900

    Just wanted to put the feelers out there, I have been seeing a lot of LG LCD TV;s recently with very serious failure of the buffer boards that connect the TCON to the LCD Panel (the 2 strip boards that run along the bottom). I think its a very poor design they glued the ribbon cables onto the PCB. The 2 panels in this case are perfect working order but I am unable to repair both TV due to the damage on the PCB boards. I have attached pics so you can see what I mean. On the 47 Inch the damage was that bad it actually melted the connector and ribbon cable completely.

          Thats probably why they put these things--At the bottom--so when someone cleans 'em with too much cleaner/tips summit on 'em, this fault happens....

          They are in the business of Selling Tellies after all--Making 'em last--to them, Aint economic good sense!

          Ive seen lots of similar stuff with these new/sub 3 year old things, Made to Fail, cheap parts, stressed to the limits--what do you expect!

          Planned Obsolescence in action....

          I very much doubt anything can be done with those, may be worth cleaning the deposits off though, re-testing....

              Thanks Alastair looks like we both in swansea. I am determined to find a way to get these going as there good sets when working. Sadly I think the PCB are toast Damage just to great to salvage them. On the 47 Inch it actually burned the ribbon cable in half inside the conector.

              I am more upset about they glued the LCD panel ribbons on instead of using a connector so you can not replace the 2 boards

                  Yep, it's damage caused by liquid, usually someone trying to clean the screen. They don't follow the manual as to how to clean the screen.

                      That might be the case, but I thikn there is more to it than that. To me it looks like a heavy build up of flux and the parts have corroded or reacted with metal case around the panel. The Ribbon cable actually burned in half and burned the connector. LG seem to think its a potential problem as they have escelated my concerns. That small bit of damage has rendered the units write offs. To me its an abvious design flaw.

                          T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
                          by Tr0ll
                          Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                          The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                          Original T-con:
                          Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                          First replacement T-con:

                          I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                          Quick question about the ribbon
                          by Rubenlily
                          Hey,

                          So I have horizontal lines on my TV and I'm trying to trouble shoot. My question about the ribbon is:

                          When I disconnect one ribbon from the t-con I should get half picture working and other half black or something like that correct? But when I disconnect the ribbon on one side I just get a dark screen and it doesn't matter what side I disconnect. I just get the dark screen. No half working, no one half black and the other one left. Sound is playing from the TV so it's obviously on and when both sides are connected I have the picture with the horizontal lines...

                          Metod for removing glued heatsink from fragile component
                          by harp
                          I have peltir element glued to heatsink with something thick and sticky like putty... it cant be separate with force or heat without risk of breaking ceramic or damaged semiconductor layers due to force (eg if try twisted, pulled, lifted)... method that I am using is a single thread for needle (thin and firm thread of pure polyester that cant break with bare hands without glowes), and using it like a saw between heatsink and peltir. I holding a heatsink with knee against table. It slowly cut throug putty and release glued parts. It is slow proces, but preserve undamaged component and heatsink....

                          Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IAU7 that suffered water damage
                          by Joel Ohana
                          Hi,

                          I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IAU7 that suffered water damage. It doesn't turn on (white power light flashes when on button pressed), and the amber light flashes when plugged in.

                          Symptoms:
                          • Short detected – sparks appear when touching the charging port connection with board with a metal (even a multimeter probe).
                          • Visible damage – after cleaning corrosion, I found 4 possibly burnt memory chips near PC3165, labeled UD5, UD6, UD7, and UD8.

                          What are my next steps to diagnose and possibly repair it without replacing the entire board? Any guidance would be greatly...
