    LCD Panel Tester

    Are there any LCD panel testers out there? I was looking for one and saw a few that say they test panels, but they all appear to connect to the T-CON first. I wanted something where I didn't have to connect to the T-CON. Does something like that exist?

    **EDIT: I realize there's no standard for the pin-out from the T-CON to the panel driver boards / edge boards / whatever you wanna call them. I was thinking maybe there was some type of tester that could try to auto-detect the pinouts, kinda like my DCA meter does.

    Thanks!

      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...

      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...

      General Questions on the Relationship Between Mainboard, TCON and Panel
      by mmartell
      My goal here is to be able to use boards on hand to swap into faulty sets when the faulty board is not obvious.

      I will start by asking what is the format of the output from the mainboard and is it generic in any way or does it vary by manufacturer and/or model ?
      ​
      And as far as I know a tcon and panel must be a matching pair because the timing of the signals and the voltages required to drive the panel are specific to the panel itself. (That may be a blanket statement that isn't true in some cases where the panel creates its own sub-voltages on its panel boards?)...

      Amazon Fire TV Omni K24NE5 tcon or panel bad?
      by Lee M.
      TV came on with BL on but blank screen. Disconnected one of the ribbon cables from tcon to panel driver board and now I have half of the screen working normally. Any way to tell if the problem is with the tcon or the panel driver board or the panel itself? Should I just replace the tcon and see what happens?
