Re: Samsung LN52A580P6FXZA red solarized picture

You folks are terrific. On the collective advice, I ordered a T-CON from ShopJimmy. It arrived today, and we were thrilled to see our old TV's image come back to life.

TV suddenly began having red-saturated images, with what I think is called solarizing. What used to be a black image when no signal was present now has a red tint. An inconvenient repair shop thinks it is either the TCON or Main PCB, but I'm not a pro, and have no tools with which to figure out which one. Looking for guidance. The image is just as bad from OTA broadcasts and from DVD. None of the settings improves it. The capacitors all look fine (at least the ones I could see after removing the back). It would be nice if to isolate the problem and order the right part the first time.

Decided to try unlocking the mysteries lurking in the guts of my TV before calling the even more mysterious repairman.
