    What would happen if you put wrong part number main board in the TV?

    I can't seem to be able to find an answer to this question. Let's say that I have a TV model that has 5+ different part numbers for main boards released. They all look physically the same, all are for same TV model, none are listed as compatible with each other (based on shopjimmy), and most for different panels.

    Anyone has a past experiences with this? What could happen, what are the side effects, or horror stories?

    Thanks

    I a Vestel board deigned for a 22" into a 32" same model board and it burnt the Lvds wire up badly ! What board have you got as some manufactures are nicer than Vestel ?

      'what are the side effects' Incompatible GND pins and Voltage pins = nice smoke. Incompatible Voltages is another problem, some panel may use 5V for T-CON, some may use 12V.
      BTW, you can have same blank circuit board (PCB) that can be stuffed with difference parts to make 10 or 100 difference PCBAs (Printed Circuit Board assembly).

          Just look up the specs from for example the power supply. If all output voltages are the same but has a different name you can still use it. Some have for example extra connectors.

          For example:

          I own a Panasonic 50VT50 which i repaired with a new mainboard. I couldn't find the VT50 mainboard and saw that the ST50 ( ST/GT/VT ) mainboard was visually the same. I tried it and it worked perfectly. ( For all haters , of course im using a VT50 mainboard now :p )

          However , i also tried a different mainboard for a samsung tv. Same model range but the t-con flex cable melted away....

            What about the fact they they are compatible with different panels and panel manufacturers, which would probably mean different T-Con boards. Would there be any possible visual impairments assuming they do not burn out?

              Are we still talking about the same brand and tv model? You "can't" use a lg power supply in a samsung tv.

              Ofcourse they all use the same voltages. 5v/12v/24v etc etc. But all boards are designed for a specific tv/model. However , brands like samsung use mainboards that are found in the same series but have a extra connector. ( 4 hdmi instead of 3 or extra usb etc ). Those mainboards can give problems due to service menu settings.

                As we speak im using a Panasonic power supply from a PZ85E in a PX85E. Different model , different panel. ( full hd and hd ). Had to readjust the voltages for the sparkles to disappear but it works perfectly.

                  I am not talking about power supplies, I am talking about main boards. If each of the 5+ main boards (all for same make and model of the TV) are for different panel types and panel manufacturers, wouldn't there be any visual problems even though it is the same make and model of the TV? Never mind the power, lets assume it is the same and nominal in all cases.

                    It could work, but in most cases it doesn't. Black screen or solarised colours are common. Sometimes, the LVDS cable won't fit. Sometimes, the TV will only work in French, or won't support cable/digital TV in your region.

                      Tom , black screen you mean back light comes up but nothing is displayed on the screen...right? Isn't that software related?

                      Correct me if im wrong but is there not software in the small prints connected to the lcd panel itself?

                        Not always...if the main board is wrong it will send bad format signal to the T-con which may or may not display anything.

                        I don't know what you're on about, there is no software in the LVDS cable, traces, or on the T-con (except for ones using a 100Hz FRC)

                          No no. Im talking about the small board thats connected to the lcd panel with tab bonding. I attached a picture.

                          If you for example replace a T370HW02-V6 panel for a V2 panel it won't work. I was wondering , what board or software controls that? Is it software or hardware related?

                            Newer VIZIO and JVC TV are really the same because they are made from AMTRAN.

                            I put a Vizio board in a JVC 47 inch television (motherboard connectors were the same and everything) and the only issue is that I had to use a VIZIO remote instead.

                            The Vizio board was $80 LESS, so it was a good fix, and I had a Vizio remote anyway.

                              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.

                              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

                              Short answer: replace main board and power board
                              Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

                              Long answer:

                              TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....

                              Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
                              by cheeky2
                              I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                              Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...
