So here's the update.
When I put the board back in after I said The TV turned on with no image on the screen. But the back light came on as if it was working. I couldn't rule out the motherboard or the TV so I waited.
I found someone with the same TV and had him bring it by and told him I would fix it potentially for free with the new reball / reflow machine. He brought it over and I tested first the board that I reflowed and thought was not right. The board worked immediately and showed a picture on his screen.
And then put his board through the machine and reflowed the same chip and put it back in and on his screen the image showed up again. I put that new board back in my old TV and only the back light showed up. So I assume the panel is dead or was broken somehow on that screen.
So both boards were reflowed and both boards worked. So that is the correct problem for this one.
Note: it's the processor on the left side near the HDMI output.
