    SANSUI HDLCD3210 negative washed out picture

    This was given to me, a 32" Sansui LCD TV Model HDLCD3210, it has a negative looking washed out picture, the AS15-G IC on the T-Con board gets very hot as soon as I power on the TV. I'm betting this IC is the problem.
    I haven't taken any voltage measurements yet. please chime in with comments.
    I have attached some pictures. Thanks.

            If you are going to try to swap the chip off, be careful about removing pads when you are removing the chip, they're very small. Use something like QuikChip to get it off, or blob solder all of the legs together on each side and stanley blade cut the chip off them, then remove the legs with a soldering iron. Sometimes they have soldered the thermal pad under the chip to the board (rare) and you have to either use a heat gun or get physical using the above blob method.

            After you have soldered it on, be careful about shorts, you can destroy the tab bond chips in the panel if you have shorts (been there, done that). I have not seen any TCON that uses an AS15 where any two adjacent legs are shorted together on the board. Not to say they haven't, but I've not seen it on LG, Samsung, Philips, Benq or Sony. The closest shorts have been two legs apart and usually power supply pins. Use plenty of flux and if you don't/cannot solder the thermal pad underneath, at least use some silica paste to thermally ground it to the board.


            Good luck.

              Un70nu6900 taped lvds, how to fix washed out 1/2 picture?
              by mecha1166
              I am getting these 70 inch Samsungs daily. Dead set light comes on goes off, dark screen. Tried taping the problem lvds cable pins 13 to ? pin, used about 9 mm scotch tape. Picture comes on, no distortion lines, looks good, but 1/2 of screen is washed out. Problem seems to always be the last little strip on the bottom. Has anyone found what is actually the problem? Possibly one of three diodes there? I have a pic but it is washed out on 1/2. Anyony had success in fully restoring the picture? Thanks.

              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)...

              SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
              by JJAAMM
              This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

              Problem
              TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

              Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
              by TR103
              Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
              - sound and backlight, but no picture
              - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
              - it keeps rebooting
              - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
              - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
              - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

              - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

              Sharp LC-32D40U Negative picture unless the contrast is almost 0
              by MikeRWK
              This only affects the picture but not the tv menus. Selecting any of the default picture settings gives a negative picture but turning the contrast down to 5 'fixes' it but then the tv is too dim which is hard to tell in the pictures.

              This tv has a main board, scaler board, and a tcon.

              I tore it down so I could probe the tcon which is nicely labelled. I've also included a pic of it.Here are the voltages I got:

              VGH 32V
              VGL -6V
              GAM1 14.6V
              GAM18 185mV
              VLS 14.67V
              3V 3.01V
              RESET 2.95V
              TCLK 0V
