    Toshiba Regza 42Z650U - Bad Panel?

    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.

    David

        Sony KD-75XF9005 grey Picture but Sound. TCON or panel?
        by iglitare
        Hi,

        i want to repair a Sony KD-75XF9005 TV that initially only showed a grey picture.
        Backlight seems to work, Sound (Setup menu after reset) works.
        If i dissconnect the left FFC cable from TCON to panel i have half a screen on the right. If left cable is connected always only the grey screen.
        Interchanged the cables, its always only the right side that is working. Always grey if left side is connected.
        With my small knowledge i would think at least the cables are good.

        Can this happen because of a bad tcon board?
        Or is it always a bad/shorted...

        TCL 50S535 bad tcon or panel issue?
        by x_orange90_x
        Just bought this for 10 bucks yesterday hoping to fix it. The guy said water dropped inside from a dehumidifier hose and it started showing black and white vertical bars then went blank. When I got it home and turned it on it came on fine and displayed correctly but I was noticing faint vertical bars in the image. After a little bit I turned it off and back on and it was a black screen again. I opened it up to check for water damage and corrosion but didn't find anything of the sort. I cleaned the ribbons anyway and reconnected them but still got a blank screen. If I disconnect the right side...

        Missing LCD Panel Voltages VGH, VGL, VCOM (TCL 55P6US Sound & Backlight but NO Picture)
        by maneatingmonkey
        I have a TCL 55P6US with sound and backlight but no picture. This model does not have a T-CON board, and the right (rear perspective) panel board is fed from the left panel board. I have not been able to induce any change by disconnecting the secondary panel board or the tape cut-off method on the primary board.

        There are a bunch of voltages missing on the panel boards. I can't find any shorted caps of the panel boards, and all of the missing voltage rails read in the kiloohms, which leads me to suspect the issue may lie on the circuit board, rather than a short in the panel.

        Sony KD-65x7500D - double image - Tcon or Panel?
        by rimwall
        This TV was showing a fine image and pulsing with a partial double image (offset vertically) every few seconds. I taped 8 clock pins on one ribbon cable from the Tcon to the panel. It stopped the double image, but some pulsing in intensity was still visible. I then taped another 8 clock pins on the same ribbon cable and the image is now ‘fixed’. Although I understand this results in some loss of resolution, presumably because the clock signal degrades as it passes horizontally across the screen.

        I am wondering - do these symptoms and ‘fix’ mean that it’s a Tcon fault or...

        I need the correct USB update package (upgrade_mb180.zip / upgrade.bin) for:
        - Toshiba 65UL2163DG
        - Vestel 17MB180E mainboard
        - Panel VES650QNTX-N2-N42
        - Version V1.28.100.0 if available

        If anyone has the file, please share a download link (WeTransfer, MEGA, Google Drive) and include version.txt...
