I have never been a fan of COBYs because they are so weirdly designed..
Got this 55" COBY in. The problem was that when powered on, it wouldn't always come on. When it did, the display went wanky, like someone was pushing a bunch of the buttons (VOL, MENU, etc etc) and then would go off by itself, then come back on over and over..
I was thinking a wanky MAIN board, but when I cracked it open, I noticed a weird "kludge"...
As pictured, on the back of the MAIN board and smaller (Driver??) board, there was a 2 strand wire that went from 4 pins on the LVDS connector on the MAIN board to corresponding 4 pins on the LVDS Connector on the Driver?? board...
Thinking that may have been the problem, I disconnected the wires and the main chip on the DRIVER?? board fried...
I ordered a new DRIVER board, but am unsure if I should try it without the kludge or not..
Any suggestions??
