    LG 55LE5400 Nice TV BackLights Only Half Picture...

    Got a nice LG in...

    With everything hooked up, I get backlights but no image..

    That tells me that the Power PCB and the middle (Inverter??) board are probably doing their jobs...

    There is no TCON board. The Main board LVDS cables (pair) go directly into the display panel's "buffers"??...

    Now, when I unhook the right LVDS cable, I do get the normal LG image on half the screen.. It appears to be faint, but I am thinking that is likely just due to a menu setting as opposed to an indicative problem..

    A replacement Main Board is spendy, but worth it if it fixes the TV.. But if it's the panel buffer that's bad, then I don't want to waste the $$$ on a replacement Main board..

      possible shorted smd capacitor on the lcd panel pcb on the side that shows no picture there has been a couple of threads with a smd cap causing issue like this

          I was afraid of that... I never have any good luck with fiddling with the panel PCBs...

          Thanx for the reply..

              You have nothing to loose apart from a little time.
              Check the caps for shorts in diode mode. You might get lucky and it just be a cap or it could be a shorted COF as was my case.

                  check the caps
                  if u find more than one shorted remove one by one and check once they are removed
                  normally u just have one that is shorted and the rest on the same line are fine.
                  heat ethier side one cap bath and forth with hot iron and then nudge off with tweezers

                      Yea, time is the big factor around here.. The LVDS cables look pretty scraggley on the ends. I am hoping that's the problem, but have swapped out diff ones and no help.

                      So I have a feeling it is the panel boards..

                      Putting it aside til I have a full day..

                      Thanx

                              Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                              Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                              Vizio M70-C3 Half picture is bad, main board on its last leg?
                              by gavric
                              Hello, i am working on Vizio M70-C3. It can hardly power on, it takes 15 power button presses or remote. Seems like eeprom problem that I seen before but all reading online says that this tv has power board or main board problem.

                              When tv powers on vizio V logo shows nice on whole screen. picture 1
                              When it goes into tv mode it only shows good picture on left side of screen, right is all scrabbled up. pic 2
                              When i start youtube picture shows on left side fine, right is all scrambled. pic 2
                              When i click video to start playing picture goes black(like when you change...

                              TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
                              by howardc64
                              All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
                              • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
                              • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

                              Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?

                              Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                              I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
                              Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

                              Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

                              Samsung UE75TU7020k No picture, Standby blinks 2 times
                              by brithepi2k
                              My Samsung UE75TU7020k lights up fine when one of the ribbon cables are disconnected from the main board, lights stay on but not getting half a picture, I do the same with the other ribbon and put the other one in and lights stay on but not getting half a picture. The standby light flashes 2 times then reboots then it then tries to come back on again and just keeps looping until I take either one of the ribbon tables out (doesn’t matter which one I take out it stays lit when either one is out). I’ve tested the backlights but all working with none shorting out, I’ve replaced the main board...
