Hello Badcaps community.
I recently picked up this Toshiba Regza 42Z650U for free and wanted to run a couple of pictures by you really quick before I just salvaged parts from the TV.
Picture 01.jpg is a picture of what the panel looks like before I did any kind of tampering. Picture displays in the top blue strip acress the top, and the rest is black.
Pictures 02-06 are the board layouts and front and back pictures.
Picture 07.jpg is the picture I can attain on the set if I use scotch tape on a few pins of each T-Con Ribbon. When I use this trick, the right side of the panel seems to work perfectly fine, perhaps kind of dark, while the left side of the panel will eventually display a picture, it seems to be almost delayed in rendering the data.
I can order the T-CON for about $20 on ebay, but I wanted to know if it is almost certainly the panel before I spent any cash. What do you guys think from those pictures, is it worth a T-Con? If not, I'm probably just going to pull all of the boards and recycle the rest of the set.
Thanks for any further tests you can offer. I didn't see any test points on this T-Con board.
