    Bush LE-50GY15-M1 (Seiki)

    Hi all, this TV is my first 4k repair it came with a black screen problem, Led's on and audio but no image displayed so suspected tcon or panel problem its also the first time I had to get down and dirty to the panel so a fault after the Tcon...?

    Disconnected left side tcon film strip from tcon and the right side of the panel works but left side is black or goes white if slap it around a bit on sides. When the Left side tcon is reconnected it seems to prevent the entire panel displaying anything it just goes black and with right side tcon disconnected also no result just black. Obtained cheapish replacement Tcon known good working and replaced but no change sadly 12v supplied to each Tcon original and replacement.

    Focusing now on the panel I have checked the smd components on the driver board for the bad side of the panel but nothing seems short or otherwise dodgy, there are no IC's only SMD Capacitors, resistors, diodes and two transistors on it and all seem good. I have noted the dc voltage on the good side driver board gets to 18v on the SMD transistor (1P NPN) but on the other side it reaches about 5v on power on before quickly dropping to about 2v.

    The Panel is a AUO T500QVN02.0 it appears to be used in a few other low end sets like sharp, Seiki, Westinghouse etc.

    Anybody got any info on this fault as cant find much at all, could this be a bad COF? there are six on each driver board one on each ribbon into the panel and no side tabs on this panel. Would be nice to bring this back to life if there is a cheap and dirty way to do it any help appreciated.

    I have spare tcon to panel driver ribbon so might start cutting it to see if i can make the panel come back to life in some way but would prefer to work with knowledge lol and also considering removing a resistor that feeds the transistor just to see if anything nice happens on that side... I guess i need a panel miracle now.

      Maybe try the "cut tape" method, might work, sometimes need to adjust the width of the tape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7vl7-vZEL8

          Hi and great idea much better than cutting cables up so thanks for that.

          Have just tried it and on the first go have managed to burn my hand a little on the edge of the panel lol, i thought ide cut myself on a sharp edge at first but managed to get the power off before the smoke turned into fire or destroyed anything else. Never seen the actual glass on the panel smoke and crater before my palm was right on the crater it was hot!

          Ok that sounds dramatic i admit but really there was smoke and in the bottom corner of the left side of the panel that got hot and smokey (the side that doesnt work) there is now a little crater and a pixel cluster about inch square.

          I believe this panel is RIP haha but will try the tape trick in more places on the ribbon in a day or two when i have time and then will hold a funeral pyre for it as i suspect its gone. Did not notice if there was damage to that corner of the panel before attempting but suspect there might have been and i helped it mature haha. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Play safe folks.

          Heres an image of the pixel cluster and panel crater.

              Wow, strange, never seen anything like that either.

                  To finish off on this TV today (scrapped for parts now)

                  Peeled tabs from the panel driver board and have got the left side of the panel back but you wouldnt want to watch it long as the refresh rate is visible to the eye plus the black band due to tab removal. Also bit gutted I started peeling the second tab from the end near the crater which had no effect to restore the panel as it didnt come back to life until i peeled a tiny corner of the end tab closest to panel damage, see photos.

                  Cheers

                      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...

                      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?

                      Sony KD-65x8500b - bad Tcon or panel?
                      by rimwall
                      Hi, hoping for some views on this one which I've not come across before. The TV generates an image that has 12 noticeable bands across it. The image is still there and accurate, but the colour (or perhaps the brightness) changes gradually across each band which creates a noticeable 'step change' at the edge of each band. Given it's a 4K TV with 2160 rows of pixels, I'm guessing the 12 bands correspond to 12 gate drivers of 180 rows each. If this guess is right, then perhaps:
                      a) all the gate drivers are malfunctioning the same way (which seems unlikely), or
                      b) the Tcon board is malfunctioning,...

                      Toshiba TV bad panel half screen dark - pull tabs or not?
                      by ashyt16
                      Hi fellas, I have a Toshiba 50u6863db (vestel crap) here belonging to a family member.
                      The TV was given me to repair (possibly) as it had developed a blank screen, just back lights and sound.

                      Upon further investigation it turned out one of her cats had sprayed on the screen as I could see it on the edge of the panel and tabs and it stank. Looks like it probably shorted the circuitry. I cleaned it up and still the same.

                      I initially suspected Tcon board as none of the test points were showing correct voltages. Tried removing one LVDS cable at a time, same result....
