    LVDS troubleshooting

    Just a question here. How do you troubleshoot a potential LVDS problem?

    An oscilloscope and a differential probe with a bandwidth high enough cost an arm and a leg. I doubt that every repair shop owns that. Not mentioning DIYers...

    For 4K V-by-One requires even higher end equipment.

    So how do you troubleshoot that?

    There is a 7th generation TV160 tester for this.

      Ok, good solution to test the main board.

      But how to test between the T-CON board and the panel, or between the main board and the panel when the T-CON board is integrated with the main board?

        Sadly, I think the only thing currently capable of decoding the LVDS signal is the dedicated LCD panel designed for that particular TV

          You don’t need a differential probe to test the LVDS. Done so many times without it. Depending on the TVs age, you may need a heftier oscilloscope to see anything.

            Samsung un82ru88000f - Boot loop sort of but can correct with taping of LVDS ribbon
            by NolesFan
            Hello all... TV started boot looping. Opened the back panel and tried to isolate the problem. Just PSB no boot loop. PSB and MB no boot loop. Plug in the LVDS from panel to MB and boot looping starts up. It doesnt matter of order that I plug the LVDS ribbons back in, only 1 and no boot loop but as soon as 2nd one plugs in boot looping. I then noticed a flicker on the screen when I was closing the clip on the harness to the LVDS. Shut the lights off so I can see better, and I noticed as i slowly close it, I will get a picture, but as soon as it clips in, I lose picture and booting happens. So I...

            Samsung QN75Q6DRA, No Picture, Has BL, and Sound
            by Dodgethis
            Hello all,

            This is my first post, but long term lurker on the form learning as much as possible about these TV's. I was given this TV as due to a power outage of constant On/off of power to TV. The TV originally would just click on and off (Typical Reboot Cycle). I opened the back of the TV, and troubleshooted by taking the 96 pin LVDS off one at a time to see if I had a picture on either side. I finally fixed the reboot cycle by finding the error on the left side of the screen off connector CN 1301, and the TV would stay on. Further troubleshooting led me to the driver boards where...

            practical courses for troubleshooting pc motherboards
            by blues_spirit
            Hello from France,
            mon2 kindly advised me to post a thread to ask the question(s) I'm concerned about. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for practical courses for troubleshooting pc motherboards especially laptops in Europe, if possible in France. I have been a computer network system administrator and a corrector of administration modules for automated programs under Unix. But I really miss the practical "ops" side of troubleshooting. So I would like to start from the beginning: 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V and 19V tests for example, etc...
            Do you think this is feasible for me? I...

            Need help with HP15-fxxxxx Quanta U99/U92 LVDS <> eDP conversion.
            by lpraderi
            Hello , for some time I was studying Quanta U9x/8x schematics and the option to use both type of screen (LVDS 40 pin / eDP 30 pin).
            In some cases to use LVDS screen PCB use converter IC RTD2132/6
            Now I found an HP 15 F series U99 mainboard with RTD chip not populated and LVDS 40 pin lcd touch screen
            at the same time I have another HP 15 N series with Quanta U92 mainboard and RTD2136 with eDP 30 pin lcd screen (no touch).
            Maybe someone more experienced in the subject can clarify if is posible to change type of screen used with some resistors / bios options change.
