A friend asked me to take a look at this tv and see if it could be fixed. He said the screen would be jumpy and doubled when it turned on and would clear up after a while. The while got longer and it no longer clears up. I attached a picture of the screen, although it doesn't show how it flickers and jumps. I checked as best as I could and didn't see anything obvious on any of the boards. I unplugged and reseated all the cables, as well as put pressure on the frame for the tabs and nothing made any difference. I thought it might be the mainboard and tried to find a replacement, but I can not find one yet.
Most of the mainboard is very small smd's and I am unsure how to test these and thought it was just easier to replace the board. Since that is not the case, with the board being unavailable, I was hoping to get some advice from this forum as to any possibilities of what else I could do. I am able to test with a multi-meter (but still learning) and can solder and desolder fairly well. I am concerned about the large area in the upper right side. Could this be a panel issue? Any help would be appreciated.
