Re: lg 42pc3dv perfect sound, messed up picture

Excuse me for reviving a long dead thread, but I have another question about the same TV.

I ended up buying another zsus board. The same exact zsus board was expensive, but there are a lot of very similar boards (search ebay for "lg zsus"). The one I ended up getting had the ebay title "LG 6871QZH056B 6870QZH004B 6871QZH956A". I don't have comparison pictures and have long since thrown out the old board, but the replacement board was the same circuit board with more stuff populated.

So...

Re: lg 42pc3dv perfect sound, messed up picture

Any ideas how to figure out what hybid module I need and are there pictures for what the job will look like anywhere?

I'm a computer tech and I've soldered and unsoldered lots of old school eproms, but I always hated things like soic. This looks like it's full size but that it's a pain because of the fact that you can't remove the heatsink beforehand.

Ok so I see these:

Ok, so I took the back off today. Not a single bad cap from what I see.

But I played around with seeing what unplugging different boards and then powering it on did. I notice that there is a snapping comming from the right-most (from back) board (closeup included). The popping or snapping goes away when the board is off. It seems to be coming from the top half of the board and I thought from the left side (bad solid cap?).

I unplugged this board while running and the left picture (from front)dissapeared....

So I see others issues with this tv and no picture, but what about a bad picture?

My picture is dim, fuzzy, has black patchy areas (that change position, not a shattered screen). The sound is perfect. It also flickers bright. When in high power mode, it flickers about once a second. In low power consumption mode, it flickers once every two seconds.

These pictures actually look brighter than real life. The picture's pretty dim in real life:...
