Vizio M3D460SR T-con board replacment

[Doc38343]

I have probably screwed the pooch on this one.
I needed the replacement T-con board for this tv. The board has 46T12-C01 in one place and T460HB01 V0 in another place. So I searched for it and shopjimmy did not have it as well as others. i then searched E-bay and found what i thought was the perfect match. Numbers are exactly the same. However the board I got does not have a ribbon connector that goes to the mainboard. (two on the original) So i started researching this to see if it would work anyway. I found that AUO boards have a sticker with a number also. My original is for the Vizio M3D460SR and it is FX-5546T12C02 the one i got from E-bay (identical in every way just missing the connector for the ribbon cable and the solder pads are there.) number is FX-5547T02C02.
Two questions arise... I cannot find an available exact replacment so,
1. Is the second ribbon cable necessary.
2. can i solder the connector from the old board to this one. ( i have the capability)

the replacement came from a Seiki SE47FY19 TV I didn't notice that when i was purchasing i just saw the matching numbers and that they looked exact, didn't notice the missing jack in the photo.
I will attach photos.
Thanks

Although the boards looks almost identical I see that U401 appears to be colour coded.
I would hazard a guess that they would not be interchangeable even if you were to solder on the second connector.
However it would be worthwhile seeing what other members advise.

Not interchangeable, the white silkscreen numbers are for the Blank PCB, the blank board can be stuffed to make a bunch of different PCBA (PCB assembly) for a bunch of different TVs and LCD panels.
The numbers on the barcode are for the PCBA that you should go by.
Bottom line, do not use the wrong T-CON.

Yup I definitely screwed the pooch on this one....
Seller has a no return policy also.. $35 lesson.
Sad part is there is no board available that i can find anywhere.
