    If you have some internet wifi module deal unplug it so we can take it out of the equation for now.

      Yeah, it is BS. I kinda think maybe there is no service menu, only board revisions/firmware to work with different parts. I'm certain this TV would work if I could access a service menu, but it may not have the ability to do so.

        Did you try post #11 step by step? need to hit return key on remote if you get that far.

            Check your remote batteries sometimes when they are low the remote acts up, it is paired to tv? some need to be.

              They are new batteries. It isnt just the remote that acts weird sometimes, the side touch board, besides the + - volume being reversed, will also bring up that "Lets Get Connected" menu if you press the buttons fast enough. I've posted a few pics of the touchboard. I wonder if I would need physical buttons, or maybe a jumper to do the button combo you posted.

                I'll tell ya, I dont think there actually is a service menu on these things. Maybe the old ones had them. But if they have them, why doesnt ANYONE know how to access it? You would think that after all these years, there has to be SOMEONE who worked on these that let that info out. Yet, no one here seems to know. I've searched online for hours upon hours and havent been able to find it. Its like it doesnt exist. So yeah, maybe it doesnt exist because there isnt one. Its garbage because I'm certain this has a perfectly working panel but I'd have to pay someone 80-100 bucks for a mainboard that *might* *hopefully* work. UGH.

                  Hi,

                  Just a idea, you could buy a eeprom from shopjimmy for the main board that you suspect goes in your tv. I'm pretty sure there is only 2 main boards for that model. The eeprom come programmed with the panel info so that should solve your issue.

                    Re: Westinghouse LD-4695 T-Con Mainboard Mismatch?

                    I thought about that. The concerns I have are 1. Is the main board physically different(would the eeprom work for this MB)? 2. My soldering skills are ATROCIOUS and I have crappy equipment so I'd have to find someone to do it for me(not a huge deal). I've truly only seen 2 different types of mainboard(with diff firmware numbers) for this, they do look similar but I wouldnt know what to look for. I will admit to buying a different TCon, one that is physically diff from the other one I bought and it produced a ghosty white image and vertical panels. So yeah, that was a bust.

                      There are many differences between the two boards, if you go to shopjimmy and compare the two you will see some of them, as an example RN20 & RN21 [dual 0Ξ©] (between U1 and the lvds connector) are on your board (60EB41M0Ma02P) but are missing on the (60E41M0SA01P) I suspect there are others, or maybe that is the difference that is causing the issue? who knows.

                        Thats what I was afraid of. Thank you for the information and taking your time to check that. So I guess...I dont know. I toss a TV that has an otherwise perfectly working LCD panel? Seems pretty dumb. Anybody else have any ideas?

                          What's the issue? does the tv work without that clip hooked up at all not soldered in at all? if not then you might need the other mainboard. I wouldn't invest too much in a westinghouse, the customer reviews are pretty awful.

                            Ok, now is the board with this number 60.EB41M.0MA on the sticker, the one that is NOT matching up?

                              Thats a good question. I didnt think of that. I contacted the previous owner who said she would try to get me the picture they took of the old mainboard they replaced. She said she had forgotten and would look. Not sure how that will help things, I just would like to know.

                                    It's looking like you need 60.EB41M.0SA, I think the other folks ordered the M.OMA and that's probably where the problem lies.

                                      Now the 15 dollar eeprom on ebay might be the same for both mainboards and might work, someone with just a little soldering experience could probably get the job done, it's a 20 minute job with a coffee/beer break in the middle, even if you are slow. BUT if the boards are different then it probably wouldn't work, but if it's just a firmware problem it might work, at this point I would take the 15 dollar gamble on the eeprom.

                                        I agree. She said they gave the person they bought the "new" board from the numbers off the board and thats what they seller sent them. I'm not sure why they didnt return it and try for a diff board but she said they were over it at that point and just wanted to cut their losses and get rid of it. I would like to know exactly what board was in there they replaced to begin with. If they still have the old one or a decent picture of it we could put this to rest. The TV is worth maybe $50 working to me and I have $16 in it by fault of me throwing 2 T-Cons at it. If someone with the right mainboard would trade me for mine plus a little cash that would be super swell. The chances of that happening are slim.

                                          Picture I was sent of the "old" mainboard was terrible. Picture taken of a picture on a monitor screen. She doesnt have anything better. Not gonna post it here because the resulting laughter at my expense would just be insult to injury, lol. I can make out that there is nothing populating the RN20 & RN21 locations. So, the original defective board was the correct board(obviously) and they did indeed get the wrong replacement board. I'm done harassing her over something she gave me for free. I'm going to try to sell the mainboard in the TV, and then put the $ toward one I found online for a decent cost.

                                            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...

                                            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?)...

                                            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...

                                            Hello everyone,

                                            I've recently been given a Sony 8k Z8H. It's got a white screen with two vertical black bars. At times it's given me the 5 blink Tcon code. Testing voltage on the Tcon I can see some low or missing voltage. I've done a basic visual check of cables and the COF. Not seeing anything obvious. The original Tcon seemed to have good caps until turning it over. On the bottom I found maybe 10 caps with both sides of the caps shorting to ground. I thought ok these caps and likely other components on the Tcon are shorted so let's try a replacement Tcon. I just received the...

                                            un60j620dafxza - Samsung No Display Problem
                                            by stylishconsultant
                                            Hi All,

                                            Need help.

                                            I have a samsung un60j620dafxza led tv. When I plug it in it has no display, no sounds, and no standby lights.

                                            So I opened the tv and disconnected the power to the mainboard and the backlight powered up. This according to many people says that this is a mainboard
                                            problem. I checked the voltage coming from the stb and I read 1.3 volts on pins 1,3,5 and 7 which are low volts instead of 13 volts which i think the lcd panel
                                            might be drawing too much power from the power supply that it prevents the right voltage going to the mainboard....
