Yes I realise that
lesson's learned.... -
Re: TCL L65F3500FDS issues - Tcon, panel, or ?
Replacement came in. I installed it only to realise it was missing a connection (see picture, top right of each board). Not ldvs, but not sure what its function is.
Anyways. Plugged everything else in and flicked it on. Problems has changed but it all still seems pretty fucked.
Soooo I'm selling it off to the next person who wants to have a go. Thanks for all the replies in here, maybe one day I'll return to the tv repair game, but for now I'm gonna do it the easy way and just buy used

Well yes, unplugging both would turn the entire screen white; but unplugging either the L or the R cable, by itself, would result in just that half going white....Leave a comment:

Touching the tabs did nothing. Fingers crossed is the tcon board. Will update in a few weeks once the replacement arrives. Thanks to everyone who has replied...Leave a comment:

I've ordered the replacement tcon board from the US, so this thread will likely be on hold for a few weeks.
I have reassembled the tv for now, but I can say that unplugging the tcon board resulted in a crisp white screen with no distortion. I never saw any colour tests but I didn't unplug the ldvs for very longLeave a comment:

Motivating me to just replace the board.
If I was in the US, it would cost me next to nothing, and take me all of a week to order, receive, and swap it in. Stupid Australia....Leave a comment:

Yes, I recognize that I bit off more than I can chew; and I don't have the capacity/patience to test every little connection. I am going to just try to sell as is.. and if i get no offers then I will make a further decision to either harvest for parts, or buy the Tcon board and hope for the best.
This gif more clearly shows the problem(s).
again, using the highly accurate manual wiggling/prodding technique:
-movement at the panel edge tabs does nothing
-wiggling the ribbon cables...Leave a comment:

Attached an image of my tcon.
I do have access to a multimeter, but I can't say that I'm incredible well versed in how to use it. Nothing an hour on YouTube cant change though.
There's an Australian option to buy at 100 (less than a week to arrive) or an American option at 60 (up to a month to arrive)...Leave a comment:

Probably too much for me to really accomplish with my limited understanding.
What would you experts do in this situation? Scrap it? Run more tests as above? Replace X, y, z?...Leave a comment:

Re: TCL L65F3500FDS issues - Tcon, panel, or ?
There's actually not much "action" at the tabs. Shifting and wiggling the ribbon cables is where 98% of the action occurs. That blue\noisy distortion is worrisome though...
The proud part of me wants to risk it. But I'll be pretty mad if the new tcon board doesn't fix it.
Is there any way I can test the voltages at the tcon board to see if it's dead?Leave a comment:

TCL L65F3500FDS issues - Tcon, panel, or ?
Took a gamble and bought this TV for 100 bucks because I wanted to have a go at fixing it
Initially:
The furthest right quarter-column of the screen was slow to update which resulted in a blur as the picture changes. Additionally, there is a flicker/pulse: starts fine, then goes "blink blink blink, smear and darken" wait 5 seconds, reset to "normal" image, repeat (see gif below).
The second quarter column, moving from right to left, is darker than the rest.
Since:
I've removed the back panel, and it appears that someone has... -
