Need to know if there is damage to this ribbon cable. Ive never seen what a damged on looks like and if these ribbons are repairable.

Re: Defective chip on ribbon cables
It does look as though the chip has been cooked. If it has been then there's no cost effective repair.Willing to help but I'm no expert. -

Re: Defective chip on ribbon cables
If it is cooked then I don't think there is anything you can do to save the panel. From the picture it's hard to tell what has happened to them. It could be caused by water ingress if the screen has been wiped down with a too damp a cloth and this tends to affect the circuit boards located at the bottom of the set. If this is a plasma set and these are the boards at the bottom of the set then the chips (COF) can fry if the heatsink is not fitted in place when the set is run.
Do you have a photo of the complete back of the set showing where this board is.

Re: Defective chip on ribbon cables
So the horizontal lines in the top half are from damaged ribbon chips?? And when tv starts up im left with a square of stic that alternates throug the top hal bouncing back and forth. Im waiting for. Ysus buffer board that will be here monday. How do i test the ribbons to see if anymore are damaged and how do i replace themComment

Re: Defective chip on ribbon cables
I thought I've seen these pictures before. You have two threads running regarding the same fault which people will find confusing.
It's best to close one down and redirect.Last edited by dick_barton; 06-24-2017, 08:14 AM.Willing to help but I'm no expert.Comment

Re: Defective chip on ribbon cables
What circuit board is shown in post #1. Is it the long circuit board running across the bottom?Willing to help but I'm no expert.Comment

Re: Defective chip on ribbon cables
Then I suspect they may be OK (the white uneven look on the COF chip in post #1 could be heatsink compound) since photo 2 shows a full width image even if it is static. If one of those COF chips were damaged you would have a blank bar running top to bottom as in photo #3.
Don't run the set without the heatsink back in place or you will damage the IC's on the ribbons and the set will be scrap.
The lower Y buffer section appears not to be working (half picture missing) so although you said you have replaced it I would check it for short circuit buffers. There are plenty of Youtube video's showing you how to check them for short circuit.
The reddish picture could be a problem with the Xsus board. I note that when the coils on the X board are not well soldered it tends to give a pinkish picture.
Have you measured and compared the voltages with those given on the label on the rear of the panel. VS, VA, Vsc, Ve etc
At this point I can't offer any further advice since my knowledge of Plasma's is very limited other than what I read on this Forum.Last edited by dick_barton; 06-24-2017, 08:35 AM.Willing to help but I'm no expert.Comment

Re: Defective chip on ribbon cables
it's nearly impossible to replace a 'x' buffer chip,even if it's a 1366x768 plasma,which generally has 16 buffers,the math is > 1366/16x3=256 microscopic wires for each buffer,times 3 because red/green and blue pixels,if it's a full HD it's even worse,360 wires,it's just not possible the solder would just crack and short itself.
try unplugging each one and see which is interfering with the image,one failed buffer can mess up the output from all of them,remember to always put back the heatsink before powering on.Comment

Re: Defective chip on ribbon cables
The bottom Ysus buffer is damaged and a replacment one should arrive monday..im glad that things should be ok at this point in time. Replaceing the whole ribbon is out of the question then so i will wait till monday when bottom buffer shows up and then post pics and see where things areComment

Re: Defective chip on ribbon cables
the 'x' board it's the usual name,ysus is what plug in the buffers that drive horizontal lines.
x boards have only 1 or 2 active components in them,SMD chips most of the time,the rest is just capacitors and resistors that don't fail under normal conditions,if swapping the board fixes the problem you are very lucky indeed.
There is a method to check the TCP,use a multimeter in diode mode at the pins in the middle of the connector,check them on a good one and one that you suspect it's causing the problem,should read 0.7~0.6V on some pins.Comment

by acedogblastThis is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.
There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as... -
by Tr0llHi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.
The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.
Original T-con:
Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.
First replacement T-con:
I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)... -

A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.
Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.
A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.
The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.
Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

Long story short:
- dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
- gave the computer to his son a couple years later
- son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
- too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
(seems like the story was not that short)
He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8... -
