    Insignia NS-43D420NA20 backlight on no display - LCD panel burn failure

    Eventually discovered a burn mark near lower corner of LCD. Here is a summary
    • Backlight on, no image
    • Disconnect right buffer board (view from front), left side display comes on
    • Masked off pin 7+8 (both ~12,5v on both left and right buffer board) from t-con to right buffer board (view from front) display works but have some lines
    • Buffer board is pretty simple
    Removed the front bezel to examine edge of the glass. Found burn mark on lower right (view from front). Plastic bezel covering the burn mark region shows heat signature on the inside surface facing the LCD panel. Last 2 pics. Bright spot above burn mark on LCD is just flashlight reflection getting the area lit for pictures.

    Since the panel is defective, only salvage parts.

    Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
    by howardc64
    Failure Symptom



    No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

    Where is the short?

    Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



    Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...

    Sony VA panel burn in
    by dumbdd
    I have a Sony 75x940e that I just fixed with the help of the forum (bad emmc). For the last couple of months I was noticing some burn in of the android home icons on dark backgrounds (photo is attached). I always thought VA panels were immune to burn ins. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Could it be because of a failing component other than the panel itself?...

    LG 49UJ6500 LCD panel lighter band that goes away
    by howardc64
    49UJ6500 LCD panel has a lighter band on top when first powered on. Goes away (or gets much fainter) after TV on for a few min. After powered off for awhile and power back on, same band appears. If powered on immediately after powering off, no or much fainter band. Running the latest firmware.

    Disassembled the TV and lifted the LCD panel during testing. Band is on the LCD panel (can see the band on the panel as I lift it slightly) Backlight is perfectly even at the top edge. Double checked LCD panel alignment in the frame and is perfect but since band moved with the panel, its on...

    SAMSUNG UN50TU8000F rebooting, backlight ok. No 12v to panel boards.
    by triplefour
    TV flashes backlight then reboots over and over. no image. Client said it used to have image for a bit before rebooting. Got worse over time.

    tcon is built into mainboard.
    Only one cable goes to panel boards.
    there is a cable from one panel board to the other that links them.
    cost cutting measure that results in us having harder time to diagnose.
    removing the link to the second panel board allows TV to stay on with stable backlight but no image.
    used cut off tape method to mask 1 maybe 2 pins on the side of the cable that goes to that second panel board....
