    General Question Part Picky-ness

    Kinda have a general question on -exact part #s- vs -if it fits, it works-...

    This came to a head with an LCD TV that has a decent picture for a few seconds than "fades" to a complete white out...

    I was thinking it was either the video board or the TCON board.. I had a couple similar video boards I tried. Didn't fix the white out issue..

    So, now I am looking at replacing the TCON board, hence my dilemma..

    The exact part number board (T420XW01 V5) runs about $60-$80...

    A search of the part number minus the version number shows me parts that look nearly identical, has the same type/size/position connectors, but are as low as $20...

    Obviously, saving a few bucks is a good thing. But wasting a few bucks on a part that fits but doesn't work (I have had that happen on more than one occasion, repairing Tablet Digitizers) or worse, actually damages the TV is (also obviously) not desirable..

    So, how picky are TVs when it comes to replacement/compatible parts??

    Thanx...

      very picky.

      find the fuse on the panel or T-con and meter the voltage on both ends after it goes white with the black meter lead on the metal frame.

      it could be a hairline break inside the fuse if your lucky.

          I'll check that when I am back at my shop in the morning..

          I am rather wary (IE total wimp ) when it comes to checking voltages while the TV is powered..

          But, nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh??

          Attached are my "tools" for checking voltages.. will either of them work??

          Thanx for the reply...

              They should both work - Id stick with the red one at least it reads zero
              to start with - Check the leads are not cracking and test it on a few batteries
              or wallwart chargers. Get ussed to holding the probes and reading the result.
              For the test mentioned it will be unlikely to be more than 24v.
              Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

                  Finding the wrong part at a loooong led strip, part works fine, part flickers, all parallel...
                  by edugimeno
                  Hi There!
                  I'm trying to help my friend who owns a restaurant be just bought.
                  He has a very long LED strip running along all the walls and columns. The strip is attached facing down 2in above the floor, using a wall panel that ends in a metal rail that finishes the panel underneath
                  It's stuck using, I guess, the 2 sided tape that comes with the strip
                  The issue is that like 1/2 of the full length, including 1/2 one wall, another entire wall, and one column, flickers after 4 or 5 minutes ON. Particularly it flashes staying OFF most of the time and flashing ON for 1 tenth...

                  iPad Pro A1876 SHORT Part Identify Help Needed
                  by G-Sting
                  So My iPad was not charging and booting up . i went to a local technician and he checked with thermal and this Part marked in 1st Photo is Short.
                  So then i went on to boardview and downloaded the schematics and identified this part in 2nd Photo. Now i am confused what exactly is the part called ? where should i get this from ?


                  i contacted my technician and he sent me his BoardVIew screenshot in 3rd Photo. In his Boardview the part is called X2826.... Something

                  SO My main concern is what part should i order what should i search the name for ?
                  on Ipad...

                  Panasonic part number in service manuals
                  by Yanleb
                  In the Panasonic service manuals, both in the board schematics and in the part listing, the part numbers that are given are Panasonic part numbers instead of the actual part numbers.

                  This is especially annoying for small SMD components like diodes and transistors when you only have 1-3 digits printed on the component body.

                  For an example, look at the attached PDF.

                  Do you have a way to cross reference the Panasonic part number with the actual part number?

                  Thanks....

                  Trouble to identify part (Lunii screen) for replacement
                  by FreakyMex
                  Hello guys. I'm a complete noob in electronics. I'd like to repair my child Lunii's (a "story box"), basically an audio player that allows the childs to choose between several options the places, characters, objects of the story, and then play a story according to the choice of the child. There is a screen that display the selected option before each choice. The Lunii fell and the screen is now broken.
                  I'd like to repair it (probably just have to change the part, because the lunii still works perfectly fine) but I can't manage to identify the part/order it online. Do you have any...

                  Smd code to part number
                  by esinior
                  Hi i have a smd part with probably mark "QO 11" or "Q0(zero) 11" on it, and its package is SOT89, i doubt its KTB1260 PNP transistor, but in measuring with diode mode of multimeter it shows number 1.4 between emitter and collector pins and its not open circuit, and .59 from collector to base and .8 from emitter to base , and these numbers doesn't match a pnp transistor, i couldn't find any part number and datasheet for it, does anybody have information for that part number?
                  I've attached pics of this part
                  Thanks...
