Re: Element ELEFW605 Blue Screen

thank you for the help on these tvs. On all 3 TVs, I found bad ribbon cables, or I assume they are the "Tab Driver IC" boards, which attach to the bottom side of the LCD panel.

On one TV, I actually ordered a complete kit from ShopJimmy, then installed all 4 PC boards one at a time and checking after each installed board, having the same result after each board replacement. I cannot rule out the kit I received might have the same issue, as the kit came with the exact sticker from the back side of the TV I currently have, so I suspect this kit came from an "un tested" unit which might have...
