Testing to see if original images posted can be attached.

You need to be more careful at the panel end more than at the tcon end. Being very careful not to flex the panel cof boards or break the retaining clips.

And be absolutely sure power cable is removed from the tv and any voltages have depleted before connecting/disconnecting the ribbons.

Yh, if the ribbons are too short or too long that could be a problem for permanent use but at least be ok for a temporary measure for testing purposes maybe.

Please do try to get some good photos added direct rather than links to hosting sites as those images generally get lost and for reference purposes doesnt help people much in the future. Also peeps here tend to be much more helpful with photos.

I use my mobile phone to take photos then make a screenshot of the photos.

I have been trying to be very careful with the panels that are attached to the glass. When you say power cord are you referring to the ribbon that is on the power board (might not be the power board not sure of the name) or the actual tv plug?

Working on the pictures to edit the original post, thanks!

Re: LG 65UH5500-UA common problem?

Looks to me more like a tab bond fault, do a google on the subject.
I truly hope you prove me wrong!

Def not an easy job even for those more experienced.

As you have already ordered them just try them and see but you could just swap the suspected faulty one with the other good one that you already have to see if the fault goes away.
Dont use the faulty ribbon cable in case it causes damage to the panel.

Before using the new ribbons check they are identical, pitch distance of the pins is VERY IMPORTANT!


P.S. Your photo file size is probably too large!

Ahhhh i really hope it is not a tab bond default, thats no joke. Yeah I was thinking of trying the one that is working on the side that isn't. But just got worried of messing that ribbon up too. Maybe I can try it super carefully.

I was worried about the size of the ribbon on ebay, looked a little shorter than the ones I currently have.

Will change image size for next time.

Thanks!

Just bought these on eBay incase they would work, can return them if you guys don't think it would...doesn't have the 65UH5500-UA listed but has the other models. Seller said it should work, but is not 100% certain. Only 1 left was worried someone else may buy it and I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and have been trying to pick up different tips from the many threads.

I am completely new to this, first time opening a LG set or LED TV for that matter. What made me open the TV is:
The set initially turned on for a second flashed the LG logo and then turned off. The standby light blinked a few times. So, I figured it was a bad LED. Ended up finding one bad LED but I changed all the strips.

When I put everything back together and turned on the TV a gray bar shows up on the right side. After looking at the ribbon that connects the T-con to the driver board it seems one of the pins is bent/messed up.

Do you think if i just change that ribbon it may work? It is very tough to find just the ribbon connectors.

Thanks for the help!
