      seems like a panel issue, you need to block the ckv lines on the faulty side of screen

        The panel has a problem, it's a common fault with these models and several other models from LG. The AVDD must be around 17v and is only present on one side when you disconnect one of the LVDS cables.

          thanks william
          shall check that out
          is it a fault within the actual panel or the boards attached to the panel? fixable or just scrap?

            Both ribbon cables connected theres no volts on AVDD, left or right.
            With the right ribbon cable disconnected the AVDD on the left is 17v.
            With the left ribbon cable disconnected theres 0v on AVDD on the right.

            There is 17v on both ribbon cables when disconnected.

              I have 4 over here with the same problem, I only had a little time to investigate where it comes from and until now I have to say it's inside the panel...

                ok may as well strip it down and trash the screen then.
                Anything you want me to check or do before its scrapped? Might help with your investigations later.

                  I've gone a little further with one of the displays and by cutting some lines there was picture, unfortunately there were black flashing lines on the left side of the display.
                  On the second display I could not get any picture at all. I'm not going to open both other tv's, they will go back to the owners. In one word said these tv's are garbage!

                    You can run down the short if you are interested. Maybe able to bypass shorted area and go directly to COF with wire.
                    I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

                      The fault may be within the display distribution boards, maybe a shorted cap, needs slow current supplying on avdd line especially, to be safe 1,8/3,3v supply lines must be present.

                        Found the fault! Burnt out on one of the tab bonds.

                        Not a very good photo, sorry but you get the idea.

                        So this ones toast! Shall strip down for parts.
                        Thanks for the help! Appreciate it!!!

                            Hi notallbad, did you have to trash the screen to get to the burnt out tab bond? I have one of these screens and wanted to attempt a repair as I too have backlight but no picture. Is this a ribbon cable of some kind that has burnt out? I cant really see as the picture is not so clear as mentioned. I just want to know if its repairable on a micro soldering scale? Regards Craig

                              simple things first, try unplugging wifi and speakers, turn tv on see if there's any change.

                                    Thank you...

                                    This is my t-con

                                    I see CLK 1-8 on the top right of my t-con, but unlike his board, which shows the lines going to the ribbon area, in mine, I see no lines like his were.

                                    So how do I know which one's to tape?

                                    Thank you.
