    Westinghouse WG50UR4100 Am I getting scammed?

    I sold a mainboard kit to a TV repair place and the owner claims it doesn't work; He sends me this picture of a dual screen. Is this even possible??? He is asking for a refund, I don't mind giving him his money back if it indeed didn't work. The board came out of a TV with a knick in the screen. You could still see the whole screen and it was a good image, only trouble was the cracking. I googled "dual screen android tv" and found its sort of possible... ??

    But... this is weird. Not sure how this can be... if the TCON only shows the left and right side of the tv, how did he get both screens..? Is this a magical mainboard that shows dual screens? I admit, I'm a novice, but....

    Please have a look and let me know what you think, thanks.

    Software does not match for the T-CON Bd and the Panel.

      Say that he should be caution when matching part numbers. Matching only board number dosen't work. Ask for him to return the board. Or call westinghouse and ask for the firmware of the tv.

        Yeah. I got scammed. I got the board returned to me from the buyer. I video recorded opening the box, etc. Seems he took the eeprom and a couple transistors... and of course, its ebay so I have to refund the entire amount with shipping. Ebay used to be a great place... anyhow, still not sure how he doubled up the screen. But it was def a scam.

          If you recorded opening the return package and the missing components, I'd argue the case with ebay.

            I would agree with Diif and put your case to Ebay.
            Willing to help but I'm no expert.

              Sadly, I recorded opening the box, only. Jerk even took the bubble wrap and threw all components in the box. So, I didn't record the board. I found out what he did when I tried to hook it up to test. had to look a lot closer.
              P.S. Still trying to figure out how he got dual screens, going to send the image to a photoshop forum lol.

              EDIT: What gets me about the image now, is that the loading rings appear in a different loop/loading.. the loading circle on the right is further advanced by a smidge. Same processor cant do this.. Can it?
