No I didn't them at a place with power, I took a gamble and lost.

I tapped an wiggled the tab bonds but nothing changes. How can you tell it is the panel vs a board? If the panel was bad, wouldn't I get sound still?

Thanks for your responses!

Hello forum folks!

So I plugged my Roku into the HDMI plug and fired up the tv. The picture is clearly there as I can see movement when I touch the roku remote. As I turned the vol all the way up and no sound was to be heard from the roku as I moved around the menu.

So could this mean the Tcon is fine and the main board is poo poo?

I have not tried an audio source since I took it apart pretty quickly. I'll out the front panel back on and find and auto source to run on it. I'm not sure the guy ever changed it, he could have just took some stuff apart trying to see what was what. Do you think the lack for it being screed down can cause this issue? Not sure of those screws are a ground of some kind. I'll try the audio in the morning. That's for the response.

Hello everyone!

I was scammed on Craigslist. I my greed of a great deal it was too good to be true. So needless to say when I got this 42" amazing deal home and plugged in, vertical lines and no picture....well when I press the menu button or volume button you can see it pops up on the screen, but it just stays in the vertical line view.

So since I feel I can fix most thing I went to take this thing apart, only to come and find it has already been taken apart! It was missing screws for the case and when I got the back off, the T-con board was taped on chase,...
