replacing or bypassing bad transformer on Hisense LTDN42V77US Inverter board

[Pioneerx01]

I have Hisense LTDN42V77US that has burned out transformer on its inverter board. Yes, it is the transformer as it has a nice black scorch mark on the PCB and I have replaced the CCFL already as it was burned out as well. Rest turn on just fine for those few seconds that they are on.

Based on ShopJimmy, I need this inverter board, and it is the same one I have in the TV based on numbers. Down side is that I can't find anyone that has it in stock.

ShopJimmy states that this board is also compatible with Sanyo DP42841 P42841-05. I have looked those up on eBay, but the numbers don't match. They look identical, but have different holders for the CCFL tubes. Mine are the ones with pin sticking out, Sanyo ones seem to be the ones with metal cap on it. If the Inverters are compatible, I have no problem soldering the pin like CCFL's in my TV to the Sanyo board to get contact. Question is are the boards electronically compatible?

I could replace just the transformer, but I have no idea what kind it is, and I do not have any spare inverter boards around with the same one. If you know a place where I can get one, please list it. Thanks.

Crazy Idea (if I am desperate): There is a way to bypass the transformer all together to get the board functional, I think. Something like in this video. Would I be able (or should I) bridge the outputs of other 9 functioning transformers together, and add the 10th CCLF tube without the transformer to the bridge to draw power form the array of transformers? This way the output of each of the 9 transformers would increase by about 11%. Would that trip circuit safety and shut the TV down?

Thanks.

Looking at the board, it looks like the primary side of the transformers are connected in series, so removing the bad one or bypass the bad transformer will not work.
If the transformer of the Sanyo are the same as your board then I would just swap out the bad transformer. There are numbers printed on the transformer.

Yes, there are three rows of numbers printed on that see through yellow cover over the coil winding, and even with magnifying lens I can't read them properly to get a valid hit on google with the combinations I tried. I should be fine using the transformer from the Sanyo board? The look the same, I am just not sure if the are electronically same.

They do look to be the same transformers with the same pin out.
