    TCON Question

    I have an LG LCD TV that has a backlight issue. The backlight will blink then turn off, and sometimes it will work for a while then go out. I found that removing the TCON from the main board, the tv would turn on and the backlight would stay on. Once it is reconnected, the backlight goes out again. Can a bad TCON board kill the backlight?

      this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
      i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
      unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
      according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

      Samsung LCD TV no picture backlight on no 12v at tcon
      by shelby5041
      hi
      i have a samsung lcd tv

      it powers on with sound and backlight but no picture

      all voltages from PS are good 12v 3.3v and 5v

      whats odd is that at the tcon i tested voltage across the fuse on the tcon and i get 0v

      i figured main board issue..so i ordered a used main board....when i put replacement main board in i still have same issue

      no 12v at the tcon fuse

      i disconnect the panel ribbon cables to rule out any panel issues and i still have no 12v at the tcon fuse

      the odds of having 2...

      Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
      by DanPoka
      I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
      Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
      This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...

      No Backlight Macbook A1990 820-01041
      by Comp_Pro
      Hello all,

      Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

      Tests performed:

      There is no backlight even with a good screen.
      Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
      Fuse F8400 ok
      Current sense resistor R8400 ok
      Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
      Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
      Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
      Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
      I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...

      iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
      by cheebster
      Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
      Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
      Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
      The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
      Anyone...
