This is what it looks like when the tv is turned on. The the discolored band down the center seems to be the menu, as it shifts after a few seconds from the left of the screen to the center. Here is a picture of what happens when you change channels:

When you plug in a source you get sound, but as far as picture, you get this:

First thought after some research was the TCON board. Ordered a new one off ebay that said it was pulled from a working tv with a cracked screen. Swapped it with no change. Then, I thought it was the FRC board, bought and swapped that as well with no change. So now I'm stuck. I've reseated the 4 TCON ribbon cables as well as the cables going to the FRC board and main board, also with no luck. It seemed like playing with the TCON ribbon cables made the lines come and go, but there is still no menu whatsoever. Does the TCON provide the menus? Before messing with it you could make out the small input display in the top left, but that seems to be gone now as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
