Re: Hitachi 42hxt12u

Ive picked up one of these tvs as spares or repair and it turns out that the previous owner had attached the stand with wood screws!! It had taken out 2 traces of one of the ribbon cables that attaches the tcon board to the screen. I have seperated and jumpered the 2 damaged traces and im now getting continuity across them but still no picture. Backlight seems fine with no dark spots. Upon starting the tv up it goes through a cycle of blue and red lights and then stays on blue indicating the power supply is functional i think but im wondering if the wood...
