fukuda FLED 4801dc

this thing is only 3 years old and its dead. given to me by an acquaintance. as the price was right and some study on fixing modern tv's online i quickly deduced that backlites were out and as there was no power at the sockets it must be the combination power supply,mother board. the flashlite test proved that the display worked. the board is a tp.vst59s.pc815. soooo i got on a asian buy and sell site LAZADA and found two boards for 2200 pesos or about 40 bucks. i tried them both but both produced a solarized display but had sound and wouldnt work with the fukuda remote but do with my lg remotes. ive since learned the the boards must be programmed. i dont have a clue how to do that. i would consider it a success if i could get the solarization fixed and just use an lg remote or a universal. not sure i can accept that the tcon board failed at the same time, but it would seem that its a likely scenario. what do you folks think? ive also read that the board has to be told what size the screen is (48'') i figured out how to get into the service menu but i cant seem to find a any adjustment, and to be truthful there seems to be HUNDREDS of parameter's that can be adjusted and im rather lost. im not against fixing this correctly and would prefer it but i'd like a little guidance a NEW tcon, 14y-vnb5.s120p2c4lv0.2 is 40 bucks id rather not spend on a used 400$ as new set. anybody got any ideas?

can you get to the service menu? sometimes a setting there will cause solarization.

yeah i did get into the service menu. from what i could deduce online (my first tv repair, i do tube radios mostly) its the lvds map it has a choice of a number 1-15 ,i think.what i did was put on a movie then got into that menu. while the picture was on i chose each number giving it some time to readjust. it did change things but would not cure solarization
