I am working on a few sets that the backlight lights up but no picture how can I determine if its a bad main or tcon?

Re: how to determine if its a bad main or tcon?
Add panel to that too. No picture can also be caused by a bad panel. I usually begin by disconnecting the ribbon cables which connect the Tcon to the panel address boards. Do one at a time and cycle power. If you get a picture on one side, your main board is good and the problem is likely the panel.------------signature starts here------------

Re: how to determine if its a bad main or tcon?
take a 100Mhz oscilloscope and look at the LVDS signal that goes from the main board to the tcon. Flick the menu button on and off and you should see the signal changing in the oscilloscope.
Sometimes disconnecting one cable at a time from the tcon to the panel wont work. At least it didn't on the last 60" Samsung that I fixed.
Do some research of your TV model number at SJ for instance.
Also check the fuses on the tcon!Comment

i dont have a scope. and what about sets that just have 1 ribbon to panel and screen lights up but no picture how can you determine then if its tcon or main?Comment

Re: how to determine if its a bad main or tcon?
You can start by at least checking the DCV feeding the T-CON, then there are 2~3 switching power supplies on the T-CON and regulator ICs which you need to test the Voltages. If some of the Voltages are not present, then disconnect the ribbon cable/s between the T-CON and the panel to see if the Voltages come back. Most of the T-CON boards have test points for testing the Voltages.

Re: how to determine if its a bad main or tcon?
If all the voltages are good and there is nothing else obviously wrong the only way I know of is to use a scope to check the LVDS signals like CapLeaker saysPlease do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.
I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match... -
Hello all,
I’ve tried to repair TVs in the past with some luck. Toms repair manuals got taken down and now thats a bit harder.
I picked this TV up hoping for a quick fix. When the TV would power on, only the backlights would come on. The owner told me they heard loud screeching before it shut off. This alone makes me want to think the main board has an issue.
As I researched, I found the TCON/driver boards were an issue on this unit. I went in troubleshooting the TCON but found good voltages on the TCON. I followed shop jimmys guide to test the transistors and they seem okay.... -
My Oled Tv is 55inch tv, 3 days ago I notice that middle of the screen is getting warmer and on picture I have ghosting, missing red color. Color red was still displaying, but it was not so strong as corners of the screen and watching some movies makes me angry.
Then I get an idea to take it apart and clean boards from dust.
In side of Tv was not so bad, I take compressed air in can, and gently blow up.
Also I was thinking to styrofoam sponge to isolate power board from screen that the middle of the screen will not worm so much. Because Led on screen when gets higher... -

I recently received an XR-77A80J that wouldn't turn on. (Repeating 5 flashes when plugged in.)
I did a hard reset by holding the power button for about 30 seconds until the set powered down. I then tried to turn it on and it powered up, bringing me to the setup screen. There's not a lot of detail on the setup screen but the picture didn't have any distortions, so at least a cursory examination suggests no physical damage to the screen. The set appeared to be working normally, but it shut down after about 15 seconds,... -
Just bought this for 10 bucks yesterday hoping to fix it. The guy said water dropped inside from a dehumidifier hose and it started showing black and white vertical bars then went blank. When I got it home and turned it on it came on fine and displayed correctly but I was noticing faint vertical bars in the image. After a little bit I turned it off and back on and it was a black screen again. I opened it up to check for water damage and corrosion but didn't find anything of the sort. I cleaned the ribbons anyway and reconnected them but still got a blank screen. If I disconnect the right side...
