Not sure how else to describe the issue...

But here's a pic of the problem...

I am thinking it's the T-CON board but wanted to get confirmation..

Please post good clear pictures of the T-CON so we can do the GAMMA Voltages testing to verify.

We need to do some voltage testing to verify if you do have Gamma voltage problem or not. You do not have tools or know how?
Just do the search on 'GAMMA VOLTAGE'.

Guilty as charged..

My "expertise" (such as it is) is to visually inspect the boards and, if there are no obvious burns or blown caps, to assess the most likely culprit based on the symptoms...

It's been my experience (measured in single digit years, I readily admit) that symptoms such as shown in the pic is likely the T-CON board..

Believe me, I wish I had the time, tools and training (mostly time) to troubleshoot individual boards... But unfortunately, I am forced to be more of a sledgehammer type "tech" rather than a scalpel one..

This is my work week....

Then you can try new board to see if it will fix the problem.
I am not sure if this is the correct version of the T-CON for your TV or not.

Yea, that's what I was thinking.. I was just curious as to the odds of the T-Con being the problem, based on the visual symptom...

Thanx for the link.. That helps...

I would also try re-seating the cables.

Re: Samsung LTP326WX "Solarized"

Thanx for the follow up.. Reseating the connections didn't help.. I tried a reflow as well which has sometimes garnered good results. No Go..

I'll just order the T-Con and post my results...

Thanx again....
