    TCL 75R615 - no picture but working backlight & sound

    Hello all! New to TV repair and trying to bring a TCL 75R615 back from the dead. I've tried to do my basic research/reading but am at a loss so thought I'd see if anyone had some suggestions.

    The TV powers up and I can see the backlight on. I can hear sounds by navigating the remote.

    I tried disconnecting each side of the LVDS cables one at a time, powering off for a while between, and it didn't change anything. So my first guess was the TCON board so I order a replacement and swap that in. Didn't change anything.

    Next I thought I'd try swapping the main board, same thing no improvement.

    I've poked the TCON board a bit with a multi-meter and see ~12v on both sides of the fuse and on the 5 contact points on top left of bottom left connector.

    I've attached pics of all the boards. Would love some suggestions on what to try next. Thanks!

    TLDR: no picture, back light and sound working, swapped both TCON and main boards to no avail. any ideas?

      I don't know. Possibly they may need to be paired up.
      I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

          seems like a tcon issue, wonder if you got a bad one or a mismatch, you did match up the numbers on the white stickers right?

              Thanks, can you explain what you mean by "paired up"?

                  I got as close as I could reasonably find. See the two attached pics, original boards next to new installed boards.

                  From everything I've read I thought it was icon board as well, guess there is a chance I got a bad one as a replacement too. Ordered from TV Parts Today because they seemed to have the closest match to the board. Is there another place you'd recommend trying or think I should try getting another one from them?

                      probably see if they have another they can send you, most legit places don't have a problem sending out another if you send the first one back.

                          apnar do you happen to have any high resolution photos of the back of the power supply board? My TV recently stopped working and I was able to find some components that were blown, but there is a small resistor on the back side (R402) that has a hole blown right through the part marking. Hoping I can find the size in a high resolution image.

                          Any help you can provide would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

                              Samsung UE60KU6079 backlight okay mainboard responsive, no picture, no sound
                              by Ierwin
                              Hello everyone,
                              Ive got a UE60KU6079 on the workbench that is giving me some headaches trying to troubleshoot.
                              The previous owner stated that there had been white dots on the screen which from the description sounded like some lenses fell of the backlight LEDs.
                              He had opened the TV from the back, trying to get to the backlight, supposedly gave up, reassebled everything and gave the TV to me.
                              I expected the worst like ripped COF cables or a cracked panel but could not find anything like that yet.
                              Anyway I still fully expect that there has been something seriously damaged...

                              UN65TU700DF picture and sound but no backlight. BL tests ok but repl. PSU didnt fix!
                              by triplefour
                              this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
                              i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
                              unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
                              according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

                              Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                              by TR103
                              Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                              - sound and backlight, but no picture
                              - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                              - it keeps rebooting
                              - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                              - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                              - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                              - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

                              Missing LCD Panel Voltages VGH, VGL, VCOM (TCL 55P6US Sound & Backlight but NO Picture)
                              by maneatingmonkey
                              I have a TCL 55P6US with sound and backlight but no picture. This model does not have a T-CON board, and the right (rear perspective) panel board is fed from the left panel board. I have not been able to induce any change by disconnecting the secondary panel board or the tape cut-off method on the primary board.

                              There are a bunch of voltages missing on the panel boards. I can't find any shorted caps of the panel boards, and all of the missing voltage rails read in the kiloohms, which leads me to suspect the issue may lie on the circuit board, rather than a short in the panel.

                              Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
                              by Mgiffune
                              I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started β€˜fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

                              I ordered a supposedly β€˜new' Tcon board this time, and                              ...
