TCON board compatibility question

Re: TCON board compatibility question

thanks, good advice. I'll post up when the new board get's here.

I wonder, is there anything I can inspect, check on the current board or does my issue appear to be from the large BGA ICs ?

if you log in service menu and under diagnostic option you will get more info

try playing with the picture settings ..go for default first ..actually you could try a full factory reset in the hope the firmware was the correct one to start with if its like the tv i have been having fun with . . to me its too bright and no contrast .

4. I have tried methods from here https://factory-reset.com/wiki/Panasonic_Service_Menu to try to enter service menu but none seem to work.

i found on Panasonic web how to make hard reset follow method 2

thanks, that's different to what I tried previously. I will give that a go. Well done finding that, I couldn't find anything.

I managed to reset the TV to factory using the hold vol - and menu on the remote while the tv was powered on.

Still the same image but was worth a shot.

After pressing the vol - and menu it showed a shipping menu which disabled all controls on the remote and eventually switched to another screen with lots of data which showed shipping failed.

I pulled the AC after waiting a while and powered back on, the tv was reset at it's default start screen.

New board got shipped today so hopefully be here in a few days. I'll remove the old bios / ic packages and transfer them over to the new tcon.

updates to follow...

hi mate, managed to get it reset with info from Diah but sadly no dice and the same washed out image. Waiting for a replacement tcon to arrive
