Re: 46 in samsung possible bad main or tcon, need help

the only thing im worried about is somehow the panel is no good and i will be wasting money on a tcon or main bored to begin with :/

Re: 46 in samsung possible bad main or tcon, need help

well, first off i dont think it was left out in the rain, non of the other parts appear to have gotten wet. i guess ill get a remote in order to go to the service menu and diagnose the tcon or main. what would i see if they are both good? cross one bridge at a time :p

how would i diagnose the panel drives, sorry i really have no experience in tv repair :/

Re: 46 in samsung possible bad main or tcon, need help

i dont have a remote control for this television is there another way to get into the service menu? lets hope its just the tcon or main, i really am in need of another tv aha, this would be fantastic come up!

i found this tv on the curb, after some research and some poking around. i have taken out all connections and put them back in securely. the main board looks as if it may have gotten wet, possible spill? (nothing burnt, just some hardwater spots and even very little rust in certain spots) i'm not sure but the main board looks shabby, the tcon looks untouched and flawless. when i start the tv with no inputs it has white horizontal lines that do not move. if i unplug the ribbons from the tcon either left or right, the problem goes away on the unplugged side. back light and panel are still working...
