I found this in the trash on tuesday. I had a feeling it would be a panel problem while loading it in my truck but i thought it was worth a look. After bringing it home and turning it on, it was very clear that the panel was at fault.
The tv has a dark patch in the middle of the screen and is ghosting on the right side. I took the tv apart down to the panel hoping it was a loose TAB ribbon but pressing on them does absolutely nothing.
The only thing that i noticed which i feel is weird but might be normal is the metal sheild that covers the tcon board is very hot, like burn your hand hot.
Could a faulty tcon board give this symptom or am i hoping for a miracle? The tcon board for this tv is pricey ($50 and up plus shipping) I was wanting to give it to the inlaws but i dont want to throw money away. I figured i would at least ask before harvesting the boards and dropping it off at the recycle center.
Thanks
