All the part numbers are the same as Haier LE55B1381
I'll tell the whole story including stuff that might not be necessary!
I bought this TV 2 years ago and it arrived damaged in shipment. There were some discolorations on the screen and the coaxial jack was ripped out. I filed a claim with FedEx and got to keep the TV. I figured it was still usable with these issues.
A year later, it wouldnt power on. I opened it up and replaced the filter caps in the power supply, and from then on it worked fine.
Interestingly, after opening it, recapping, and putting it back together again, all the discolorations on the screen went away.
Also, I decided to rectify my biggest complaint with the unit and connected the speaker leads to a set of bookshelf speakers instead of the internal speakers. This improved the sound tremendously.
Now, a year later, it wouldnt turn on again. This time rather than recap, I replaced the entire power supply board.
It turns on but there is no longer any sound through the speakers. There is still sound through the headphone jack.
Also, up until now I could still pick up some local digital channels with nothing connected to the broken coax jack. Now, nothing.
I was going to order a replacement for the board the speakers plugged into-- I assumed it was an amplifier board-- but another thread on this forum says it's a TCON board.
Also the coax jack appears to be part of the main board, I'm wondering if the best thing to do would be to replace that entire board? I dont NEED coax or even local channels but it is useful.
I will post some pictures, they arent very good.
