    RCA 46LB45RQ solarization effect

    Hi all! I have an RCA 46LB45RQ that came to me dead. I replaced the EEPROM on the main board with one I bought off of eBay that matched my set (ver B1). Now I have a picture and audio, but it looks solarized (see attached photo). The solarization affects both the displayed image AND the OSD.

    My question - do you think it's:
    1) A bad t-con?
    2) A misprogrammed replacement EEPROM (maybe programmed for an A1 set?) Can a misprogrammed EEPROM even cause this problem?
    3) A secondary problem with the main board?
    ...AND...
    4) Is there any way to test/confirm whether the problem lies in the t-con or the main board?

    As always, your help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    --Dave

      i don't think that the eeprom (even if wrong) could be to blame.

      on the t-con, test the vgma test points. there will probably be around 20 of them.
      WHY CAN'T PHILIPS USE PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS?

          It certainly looks like a solarized screen but I would first check in the service menu to make certain it's set up for the led panel fitted in the set.
          Willing to help but I'm no expert.

              This worked! I found this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbffKtXjTog
              When I changed the LVDS map setting on my TV from "default" to any 'B' setting (6-bit B, 8-bit B, 10-bit B) the picture cleared right up. Not sure which setting is the correct setting, but I chose "10-bit B" because it sounded the best.

              Thanks so much for the help!

                  LG 82UN8570AUD ~ TCON or PANEL?
                  by kca
                  Hello all ~

                  Hope this finds you well. This LG 82UN8570AUD (April 2021 model) 4K UHD television has full audio capabilities but video is compromised / problematic.

                  When I picked up this large LG tv it had a full black screen upon startup. Previous owner said it just went black one day. No popping sound or anything else of note.

                  I got the display to work by taping off several traces of the right-hand side ribbon cable on the TCON that leads from TCON to PANEL. However, despite dozens and dozens of attempts to find the right combination / range of traces taped...

                  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...

                  93C46 and 93C56 EEPROM
                  by SidneyCanadas
                  I tore apart my instrument cluster for my 2008 Toyota Corolla made in 2007 in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada and pcb location: IC6=EEPROM is a surface mounted device with part # of 93C46W7, some claim the EEPROM out of a Camry part # 93C56 will allow odometer to roll over 299 999 KM or miles. The data sheet for both is below:

                  https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...c6e42b20d3.pdf 2

                  Anyone know if the Camry one will work on my Corolla?. And which EEPROM reader/writers do you all recommend I purchase that will allow me to read the old values of the old...

                  Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
                  by advant
                  This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

                  I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...

                  TCL 43S423 TCON OR PANEL FAULTY???
                  by netgearnetgear
                  Good day, I have a TCL TV: Model 43s423. After turning ON the TV, the ROKU TV logo appears with fine lines over the whole screen, then after a while there are vertical bands in the middle of the screen top to bottom and the TV tries to update its firmware but I do not have the remote to connect it to my new network connection. Also the Power ON light blinks 2 times in quick succession. When I remove the ribbon on the right of the tcon board the left side of the screen shows but with fine lines. If I remove the left side ribbon and connect the right side ribbon the whole screen is blank with...
