Internal component cross-compatibility

[Twithers]

I've got various parts from boards to screens for about a dozen different tv's. They are mostly Samsung, but incude other brands and a mix of lcd, led and plasma.

I'm having a bit of difficulty finding the parts needed to complete any of them, which brought up an alternative idea that I haven't been able to find much of an answer for.

Are there parts that are used in different models and/or manufacturers, and if so, is there any sort of organized database available? As in, if I have a power supply board for a Samsung LN37A450, are there other Samsung models that use the same power supply board? What about other brands that use the same board?

I'm not a complete novice when it comes to repairing/rebuilding flat screen tv's, but I'm far from the caliber of techs that I have read about on this forum. So, please keep that in mind, if my question is ludicrous or conversely, so basic it doesn't warrant a reply.

Thanks for all the help past and future.

Re: Internal component cross-compatibility

Go to shopjimmy.com and look up the board numbers you have to see if they are in the compatible list.
