Re: Insignia 47 LCD (NS-LCD47HD-09)

Just checking in to say that this solution totally worked for me, and I now have a brand-new(ish) 47" Insignia to show for it! Thanks!!

Re: Panasonic TC-L42E50 42" LCD TV turns on, backlight, no picture or sound

Aw damn.... that's exactly what I found when I checked near the bottom of the panel - what looked like whitish powder in a drip pattern along the bottom. Guess that means I'll be putting my replacement boards right back up on eBay :/ Thanks for the help, though!

Re: Panasonic TC-L42E50 42" LCD TV turns on, backlight, no picture or sound

Bump because I took off the side panels on the LCD itself and found two more boards attached directly to the panel; they're basically the only boards on the thing I haven't replaced yet. Is it even possible to replace those? Or could something else be the problem?

My neighbor left me this TV because it was supposedly broken, all I knew about it was that there was no visible damage on the LCD panel itself, so I decided to give it a whirl. At first, I got the 10 blinking lights error; when I looked it up I found that it meant that one of the boards on the back was likely failing.

First, I replaced the Main Board TNPH1006 2A; after that, the blinking light went away. Now it would turn on, seem to be operating normally, but even though the backlight came on, there was no picture or sound, and it didn't seem to respond at all to the back panel...

The name's Mike. I've dabbled in electronics for most of my life, and that's inevitably meant crossing paths with my share of busted TVs. I find it way more satisfying if I can fix something that breaks rather than simply replacing it; living on a budget makes it much easier to make that call ;p
