    Compatible mainboards

    Ok so my aunt gave me her old lg plasma tv the other day, model 50pn6500, and I think the main board is bad on it.
    I've looked around online for a direct replacement, and found an exact model, but they don't seem to come up for sale too often.
    I searched again on eBay today and saw that one had popped up from a 60pn5300 I think it was? And the description said it was tested on a 50pn6500 and worked as it should.
    So my question is, do I need to find the same exact mainboard that I have in my tv now, or are there other versions that will work without any problems?
    Thanks in advance guys!

    Any ideas guys? Or maybe it's just a good idea to stick with the original?

      Hi Ooodavie.

      It can work but it depends , some main boards are for example made for "50inch" or "32 inch" only.
      It can work IF the connections look the same. The situation for this set will probably be like that the tv works but has less options/picture quality then the 6500.

      For example. I own a Panasonic VT50 and the ST50 main board works in this set. Also some samsung LCD's work with "lookalike main boards".

      Best you can do is search for the main board version in google with "also found in".

      Hope this helps! How much was the replacement board? You can always try and resell it if it doesn't work.
      I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

        Thanks for the reply Moreno, I forgot to check back to see if anyone had replied.
        I haven't bought the replacement board yet, as they seem hard to come by.
        There are 3 of them on eBay right now for the model that I have, and they range from $135 to $195.

          Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?
          by Dani_2024
          Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
          I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.

          Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

          Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
          by Asraf Atb
          Hi everyone,

          Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

          Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

          I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....

          Compatibility of main boards between different variations of samsung MU6100
          by JSin21
          Hoping someone here could possibly help. I have a few questions in regards to compatibility with main boards. But I'll give a quick short run down on what's going on first;

          I have Samsung Smart TV UA65MU6100WXXY version DA01

          Now years ago it started intermittently playing up after a lighting strike. Lighting hit the block of units i was living in at the time. Ever since that night the TV started having a mind of its own, It would randomly turn itself off or on, and all inputs stopped responding like HDMI, aerial, but USB still worked. Anyway, over the next few months...

          Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
          by jb_Bak
          Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

          Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
          Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
          CN6401
          Pin 01 NC
          Pin 02 NC
          Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
          Pin 04 "N/C"
          Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
          Pin 06 "GND": N/C
          Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

          Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
          by advant
          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...
