Background:
I found this TV by the side of the road saying it needed a new backlight. Thanks to the help of this forum, I was able to repair the backlights and the power board.
When I put the TV together, I noticed visual artifacts on the right side and a darkening of the center area, mostly on the right. Specifically, on the far right, the screen is very slow to refresh and has a smearing effect. I've taken video and will link that below. The photos show some of the afterimages that persist for a few seconds to a few minutes, again, on the right side mostly.
Sometimes the screen will show just vertical bars or stripes that change depending on the input signal.
I tried swapping the right and left Tcon ribbon cables but the problem of the slow refresh and darkening on the right side persisted.
At this point I'm afraid the panel itself is damaged. I don't know if it was like this when I found it, if it happened during transport, or if I damaged it taking it apart to change the backlights.
Or maybe the tcon board has failed or is/was damaged. I have no idea.
I appreciate any help you can offer.
