hey all just wanted to let everyone know that I just successfully swapped a panel into a Samsung LN46B530.
I found this Samsung LCD TV on Craigslist for 50 bucks with a cracked screen knowing I was taking a gamble but I figured what do I have to lose. I had this good brand new panel sitting around the house for a while that was for a JVC LT-46AM73. it seems like it's only 46 inch JVC LCD ever made. Well anyways the panel is a 60 Hertz 1080p panel and the Samsung used a 1080 P 60 Hertz panel also. Knowing that I'll never find a JVC TV with a cracked screen because they seem to be super rare I took the panel out of the frame and retrofitted it into the Samsung frame. They both use different t-con board and I couldn't just swap the tcon over to the new panel I had to use the JVC tcon. it was a trick making the ribbons fit I had to do it some cutting on the plastic shell but as soon as I got everything to fit and fit the ribbons in I had to get crafty to make the t-con board fit on the back of the Samsung metal frame after I did that I powered it up and it works great.
Note: when I say ribbons I'm talking about the tab bond ribbons. The plastic black shell had to be modified because there were plastic risers used where I needed the casing flat so the tab ICs could sit flush on the frame. Also I had to use the heat dissipation pads to fit the tabs to the metal original Samsung frame as the JVC frame didn't use this method. The Samsung panel had like15 or so tab ribbons where the JVC panel uses 6.
on a side note I should add that the original Samsung panel was a CMO using side tabs this JVC panel which is also a CMO does not have side tabs however the LVDS cable fit perfectly and I did some research between the two panels and found out that the voltage is seem the same so just wanted to add that this swap worked. I'm still surprised myself.
