Looking to buy this 46" SAMSUNG LCD 2010 MODEL

[ecking767]

Im looking to buy this Samsung TV. I don't have the model number yet. waiting on seller to send the information. I don't want to pay too much if the LCD screen is the problem.

Im hoping this is a T-CON problem.

The panel is bad, I would not touch with a 10 foot pole.
Rule of thumb: Almost all regional defect (i.e. part of panel only, or varying across panel) = bad panel.

Well, everything else is working, you can test. Main board and PSU worth a few $. Maybe $20 to $30? You sell parts right - so you should know if it's worth it given it may take months to sell parts, you could get returns/fraud claims/lost orders etc., and it will cost money to pick it up and time to take it apart.

You will not be able to fix it, at least not without a new panel.

T-CON may also be bad, or at least have loose ribbons going to the panel. The fact that the screen is split right down the middle with one side being darker or lighter is something I've seen a few times. Sometimes it's just a ribbon though.

That black bar could suggest water damage, I've seen that a few times and if this Tv has it's T-con mounted at he bottom then it's a possibility, yet again screen will be bad and will need replacing.
