Can't find LG main board... help

[Umbrella Corp]

A member of this forum was kind enough to help me troubleshoot the problem with my LG 60PZ550.

The part I need is: ebt61533403 (the main board) but I can't find one supplier in the US that still has this part.

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

ReeceyBurger123,

Sorry to bother you again, but I actually have been looking it up under both numbers and have found dozens of places that are out of stock.

The only reason I put the ebt number was because the people at My Shop TV told me to.

Here's what I wrote and their reply.

Dear My Shop TVs,

Attached are two pictures of a main board I’m trying to locate. The part number is EAX63546403(1)

------
Unfortunately we don't have this part in stock, but when trying to look for this board use the part number ebt61533403

Yeah. I found one in Canada that's used and it will be $175 just to get it here. I may go for it, but I have some other emails and calls out.

Thanks again. I figure I just have some hunting to do.

Success at last!

I was encouraged via pm by member jgrise to try the oven method to reflow the board and IT WORKED! I now have a working television again thanks to reeceyburger123 troubleshooting it and jgrise encouraging me to try the method and fix it.

BTW, per JG's advice I used 385 degrees for 10 minutes (putting it in the cold oven and starting the 10 minutes when it reached the full temp.)

It did melt the SPDIF shut on the board (which I thought was hilarious.) I never use it anyway so I could have cared less.

You guys saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you.

And thank you, Badcaps.

Yes, you were instrumental in getting it fixed. And buying a new board would have been easier, but I was at a dead end, (or spend $175) which they are not worth.

Thanks again. We'll be enjoying it tonight. And the kids' tv will go back on the back porch.
