Samsung UE48H6400

[compcycle]

hi all, got a Samsung UE48 here, screen just flickers once on power up. Power led responds correctly, ie flashes when volume up is pressed etc. If i disconnect the T Con ribbon, then the backlights come on ok, have an identical tv with a broken lcd, have swapped all the boards still the same. Any ideas?

Update: The backlights come on if i disconnect the panel side of the tconn as well, if i disconnect one of the panel ribbon cables backlights stay on no image, if i disconnect the other its the same, but with both connected no backlights at all. Looking like its the panel at fault?

Sounds like a shorted panel, take the frame off and check for water damage on the tab bonds.

ive done that, theres no obvious damage, i actually initialy thought it was bad leds and swapped the panels over.
