    What causes these ribbon cables to burn up?

    Notice they have what looks like a notch in each side, that's where they burnt. Is it a bad tcon ground or bad panel ground?

    It is very likley the panel (circuit board attached to the panel) that has a short, sometimes it is a shorted chip cap, but could also be due to cleaning liquid running down the front of the panel shorting out components.

        Likely what R_J said, but do you have the mounting screws in the TCON to ensure it is properly grounded?

          T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
          by Tr0ll
          Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

          The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

          Original T-con:
          Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

          First replacement T-con:

          I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

          Insignia NS-43D420NA20 backlight on no display - LCD panel burn failure
          by howardc64
          Eventually discovered a burn mark near lower corner of LCD. Here is a summary
          • Backlight on, no image
          • Disconnect right buffer board (view from front), left side display comes on
          • Masked off pin 7+8 (both ~12,5v on both left and right buffer board) from t-con to right buffer board (view from front) display works but have some lines
          • Buffer board is pretty simple
          Removed the front bezel to examine edge of the glass. Found burn mark on lower right (view from front). Plastic bezel covering the burn mark region shows heat signature on the inside surface facing the LCD panel. Last 2 pics. Bright...

          Sharp Aquos LC-70C6400U Half Screen Dark
          by scubacamper
          I found another post on this site the other day which has been very helpful in troubleshooting this issue I am having with my tv. The left half of the screen is dark, and the other half is VERY slow to generate it's image - and it only generates part of its image at that.
          Based on this yt video, I have narrowed it down to an issue (short?) on the left side of the display, somewhere in the system of ribbon cables.
          when I remove the bezel and the rear cover, I can get the image to display correctly by manipulating the ribbon cables on the left side which connects the left lower display...

          Nintendo 2DS XL – Orange light, no blue light, signs of overheating
          by Tomylee
          Hi everyone, I have a Nintendo 2DS XL that shows the orange charging light when plugged in, but nothing happens when I press the power button — no blue light, no screen, no sound.

          Here's what I've observed:

          All ribbon cables are properly connected

          Battery is present and in good condition

          No reaction even with screens disconnected

          There's a visible burn mark / overheating sign on the metal shield, right above the CPU


          I’m suspecting an issue with the CPU, PMIC, NAND, or a power...

          Sharp Aquos LC-40UG7252E LCD TV burn in?
          by jonah1024
          Hello!

          I'm a few days old into this TV screens repair universe so please bear with me.

          Recently, and all of a sudden my 40” 4K Sharp Aquos LCD TV turned on with colors all smudged in some places on the screen that remain like that even without any kind of video source. I do have image but the colors are smudged/tinted/ washed out in patches as per defects. This to me looks similar to burn in but I’m shore this is not an OLED.

          - I did the classic unplug and hold power button to discharge the caps but it didn't help.
          - I did a factory reset as well...
