Zenith / LG parts interchangeable?

[daneyuleb]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has used parts from "rebranded" Zeniths with LG TVs. I have an LG 60pv450 that needs a new main board.

Evidently, the Zenith Z60PV220. is a rebranded version of that LG.

My Main board is:
LG60PV450 MAIN BOARD -- Board #: EAX63728604 PT#: EBT61663001

The Zenith one I'm looking at has the same board #, but different part #:
Z60PV220 MAIN BOARD -- Board #: EAX63728604 PT#: EBT61397497

Just wondering if I should expect it to work, or if's somehow locked to LG.
The "Zenith" parts seem consistently less pricey than the LG ones...

Thanks!

-Daniel

I had an LG 60pv450 with the main board was version 1. Found a version 2 for it. Only difference was the position of a plug in conector. It was 90° different. The plug has room to connect to the board and works just fine.

Shopjimmy shows that both those TVs have the same plasma panel and connectors so my guess is it will work. You'll need the Zenith remote or a universal programmed for Zenith. You're LG remote will no longer function with the Zenith main board.

The remote may still work. I had an lg 60pv250 that would turn on whenever I used the remote that went with whatever tv I was working on. Regardless of brand. Lol

Ah. Didn't think of that--but I have a spare harmony remote so that shouldn't be a problem.

That's good to know. Still... switching version numbers doesn't scare me as much as actual brand names of the tvs they came from.
