 Re: ln32a300 dark picture
 
 That is bad GAMMA Voltage reference issue on the T-CON board, more likely the GAMMA IC P/N AS15 or AS19.
 Please up load the good clear pictures of the T-CON board, there should be GAMMA Voltage test points on that T-CON board.Never stop learning

 Re: ln32a300 dark picture
 
 You can verify the VGMA Voltages first if you want, I cannot see the test points in your pictures.
 Ah, your pictures came back up!

 I see GM1 ~ GM14 for the GAMMA Voltage test points.Last edited by budm; 03-27-2018, 09:45 PM.Never stop learning

			by DanstonaWas watching this set, and suddenly it went dark. Picture is still visible, just very dark. Tried checking all settings, adjusting brightness to 100% no change. Reset through menus, no change.
 bought used boards from ebay (power and input boards) replaced with same results, changing brightness does seem to have a slight affect.. but not to normal visibility of picture.
 I'm handy, fixed TVs before.. I can't see any issues with boards... hoping someone can point me in the right direction to properly diagnose. I don't believe the LEDs are caput, since the picture is on and equal...

			Hi,
 I have a VIZIO E70-E3.
 Symptoms: Black screen, no picture, but LED backlights are working.
 I probed the power board and voltages are as listed on the board.
 Main board appears fine, too.
 I believe the problem is either a bad T-CON board, or connection to LCD, or bad LCD.
 There are two separate ribbon cables feeding the LCD.
 If both are connected, the screen is black.
 
 If only the ribbon cable that feeds the right side of the screen (when viewed from the front) is disconnected, the left side of the screen shows picture and...

			by iglitareHi,
 
 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...

			by Bazfletch3Hi all
 
 While I have quite a decent background in electrical & electronic troubleshooting & repairs, this is my first time stripping down an LCD TV for repair.... I have inherited a 3yr old Panasonic LCD which has a picture, but it is quite dark (too dark to be watchable - but still quite easy to see; I didnt need a torch to see it).
 
 I started by checking and trying to adjust all of the picture and backlighting levels, but that made little to no difference. I also did a factory reset.
 
 From there I envisaged that the backlighting wasn't working, however...

 i have a samsung lcd tv
 
 it powers on with sound and backlight but no picture
 
 all voltages from PS are good 12v 3.3v and 5v
 
 whats odd is that at the tcon i tested voltage across the fuse on the tcon and i get 0v
 
 i figured main board issue..so i ordered a used main board....when i put replacement main board in i still have same issue
 
 no 12v at the tcon fuse
 
 i disconnect the panel ribbon cables to rule out any panel issues and i still have no 12v at the tcon fuse
 
 the odds of having 2...
