Phillips 40PFL4908/F7 3/4 screen jumping fuzzy

[imawsumlol]

I bought this tv as is.

The issue is almost like its double casting or shadowing from about 3 inches up to the top of the screen. But its also tinted slightly red on the top part of the screen double/ over casting shadows of the working 3" of the bottom of tg screen overtop of the picture on the rest of the screen and flickering.


I've taken the tv apart and poked around, I feel like the led\lcd panel itself is good. I flipped around the lvds cable and it did slightly worsen the problem. What are the odds it's the lvds cable? Everything I'm reading says they are rarely an issue. Any help is appreciated.

Hmm, not good, looks like a bad LCD panel to me :/...

Can you get a photo of the T-con board (top or bottom of the display panel)?

I don't think it's the panel. The panel only has 2 ribbon cables and fiddeling with them did nothing. The tcon board is mounted in the middle of the screen

Unplug left ribbon out of t-con. Is distortion gone on working part? Try for right ribbon too (connect left ribbon back.) If distortion goes on one side = bad panel confirmed.

I can't unplug the ribbons on the tcon its not that type of setup. The ribbons from the screen go to a small circuit board on the bottom lip of the screen, they cannot be unplugged. The the lvds cable goes from that small board to the main board idk if there is a tcon board

Post pictures of the boards in your set please. You probably can remove the ribbon cables, I have not yet seen ones that are soldered to the T-con.

Here is everything inside it. The lvds cable runs from the green circuit board to a one inch wide 8 inch long board with two ribbons on the bottom legde of the screen

Re: Phillips 40PFL4908/F7 3/4 screen jumping fuzzy

Oh, that is unfortunate. It looks like your TV bonds T-con to panel, and the panel or the T-con has failed. Unfortunately, I do not see this being economical to repair, due to it needing a new LCD panel.

Also, this TV was not made by Philips but is instead a re-badged Funai TV, the same TV as Emerson, Sylvania, other junk like that - sadly Philips has taken to selling their name out to make a quick buck. Because of thsi I recommend avoiding their products in future.
