Hey all!
I was given this TV. I was warned of its problem. When I brought it in, I plugged it in, and turned it on. The logo went white, Saw the V logo, and then everything functioned normally. I went through the menus, and inputs, etc. All looked fine. So, I did a Factory Reset on it so I could start from scratch.
Ever since the Factory Reset, the thing will not get past the V logo on power up.
Now, I have done my due diligence, and it seems that the general consensus is to replace the EEPROM. I'm not quite comfortable with my ability to solder small objects, but I'll give it a try as long as I have a backup plan.
With the TV, my friend gave me a Mainboard that he bought on eBay, but he didn't read the print, and it is listed as "As-Is, NOT WORKING". I installed it anyway, just to see what the extent of its problem was.
Good news!! It works..... sorta. It doesn't have the same symptoms as the original Mainboard, and I can live with the symptoms it does show. But, I'd still like to get your input:
The image is there, and the colors are good. But, there are horizontal lines tat gradient from left to right.
The very left-most of the screen is perfect. As you look to the right, you start seeing horizontal lines begin to appear, and if you look at the right-most edge the lines are clear. (Seen in pictures.)
Now, I can live with this, but I'm curious. Is this fixable?
Thanks!
