AOC L32W761 bad TCON?

[triplefour]

seems the only question i have lately is whether its bad TCON or bad Panel!
but here it is again... when i first turned on the tv i was getting a blank backlit screen...sound and buttons work....
so i tried taking off one at a time the ribbon cables to the panel from the tcon.
the videos show what it looks like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvwqun_tFRs - both sides on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbIW-1_lilY - one side off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCFukZSxCLA - other side off
after doing this, now i dont get a blank screen right away...first i get some motion and some colored horizontal lines and then it fades to a blank screen.

so, take a look at the videos n pictures n tell me what u think please.
props to anyone who can guess what n64 game is playing...
thanks!

Looks like you might have atleast one bad cap.
That's what you need to get sorted first.

Good eye! I saw that but I figured since the tv turns on I get sound and backlights so isn't the psu ok for now?

Could a bad cap on the psu really cause this symptom?

ok i went ahead and replaced the TCON and that definitely was the problem because now everything works fine...only one small thing...there are 2 vertical black lines and one colored line on the panel. when i flex the panel a little i can get the colored line to go away but not the black ones.
this is definitely panel damage?

Yes, looks like a panel fault to me.

Re: AOC L32W761 bad TCON?

and there really is no way to fix panel faults, ever?

Re: AOC L32W761 bad TCON?

For the vast majority, including this, no.
This TV would have had this problem before the other fault...
