Is there a way to remove silicone from buffer ICs so they can be salvaged?

    Also, when one cleans with gasoline a small static spark can set off an ignition.

      That's probably true of anything with flammable vapors.

        What about using a petroleum fuel with a lower flashpoint such as kerosene or diesel?

          Still, there would probably be a residual odor afterwards. I think I'm going to try the conformal coating remover stuff.

            Problem

            This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

            Schematic or datasheet for Plasma TV buffer chip
            by Yanleb
            Hi all,

            I'm interested in understanding how a buffer board chip is working. I know there's about 90 outputs per chip to the plasma panel, but I'm more interested to know about the input pins. I guess that some of them are address pins, but I want to know more.

            So far I've found nothing at all. I haven't found any datasheet about the various buffer chips, and I haven't found any schematic for the buffer board using them (Y Buffer Board in Samsung's terminology).

            Any information will make me happy. It can be from any buffer chip or plasma TV manufacturer....

            TCL 49S405 double image
            by howardc64
            LCD displays a 2nd image slighty offset vertically. And multiple pairs of black lines along the bottom. Probably common as google "TCL 49S405 double image" pulls up this ifixit post ( link ) with identical ( nearly, but their fault seems to be on the other half of the panel than mine ) problem without solution.

            This one looks to be a more difficult to diagnose because most? of TCON seems integrated ( CSOT BGA on buffer baord) into the left panel edge board ( looking from rear of TV) There are 2 buffer boards for each 1/2 of the screen. Main connects to the left buffer board...
