    VW37L inverter ribbon cable removal

    Hey guys. Working on a Vizio for a co-worker that starts flickering after warm. Looks like caps on board are bad. I don't want to mess up the little ribbon cable by pulling on it and I can't see any type of release for the cable. Anyone know how to remove it?

      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

                  I've worked on the inverters for this same TV, and goontron is correct. Also, check that fuse - I've seen these caps go (I believe they're the 680uf?) and almost always take the fuse with them.

                          T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
                          by Tr0ll
                          Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                          The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                          Original T-con:
                          Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                          First replacement T-con:

                          I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                          xps 9520 ribbon cable
                          by zesko
                          Hello,
                          I have a XPS 9520 with broken daughter board and missing ribbon cable. I can fix the board by replacing the connector, but I can't find the correct ribbon.

                          There is 2 models, idk which one is needed on my laptop.

                          0xkvng
                          00vpr2

                          Daughter board is LS H822P. When I check for a palmrest, the board attached to have a 0xkvng ribbon. But when I check for LS h822p, it's 00vpr2 ribbon...

                          Someone can help me with that please ? Idk the difference between these 2 ribbon but they definitely doesn't look the same..

                          thanks...

                          Need a replacement ribbon cable DELL Latitude E5470
                          by lowpost99@gmail.com
                          Anyone know if the ribbon cables are standard across laptops cases like in a PC, or are they proprietary to each manufacturer? I damaged the one that runs between the MB and the power / HDD / Battery Status Indicator LED Circuit Board. The Dell SKU/DPN: ADM70LED. I just need help finding a replacement. Could I possibly use a similar cable from a donor laptop?

                          Samsung UN65TU8000 - Panel Issue [ hole in ribbon cable ]
                          by NWArkGuy
                          Well, I will be the first to admit that I screwed up...

                          In attempting to replace the backlight in a UN65TU8000, I made a hole through one of the ribbon cables between the board that runs along the bottom of the back of the TV and the panel. This lead to a between a 1/4 to 1/2 inch vertical stripe running the full height of the image.

                          I don't have the experience; personally, to solder a bridging wire for the paths that were cut. So, I have been on the hunt for other Samsung TV's of similar size.

                          I have 2 that I have found and have in my possession. ...
