    LG 32LE5500 bad video

    HI guys, i have this set with bad video, stripy jittery as best i can explain it.
    A youtube video is here below
    https://youtu.be/dqxnZPAzo-U
    I have attached some pics of the boards.
    The PSU voltages seem fine with no ripple
    There are two voltage regulators on the main board and measure 1.5V and 1.8V
    I suspect the main or tcon but might be wrong since i dont have a schematic for them.
    Is there any way i can prove its not the main so that i can focus on the tcon?

    Regards
    Angelos

    Looks like a bad T-CON Bd. to me.

        There a voltages test points on the T-CON Bd. to measure. However, you could disconnect one of the Ribbon cables connecting the T-CON Bd. to the Long Panel Bds. on the Screen. Do left side then right side and see if either half picture shows good or not.

          I had done this test and it did not help. The side disconnected was white and the other side was making those same stripes. It did this to both sides. What does this mean? Panel or Tcon or main?

            It looks like main board issue.
            Did you try heating or cooling the main board to see if it has any effect? Try that on T-CON too.

              Hi Budm,
              I heated the main board and when focusing heat on the processor the fault went away completely. This is a BGA type chip. There is no way i could resolder this chip. This one's going to the landfill.
              Funny enough it is working fine now, and i did not apply much heat either.

                Maybe do a reflow, lots of tutorials on youtube about what temperatures to get to and so forth, sounds like it might respond favorably.

                  Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
                  by advant
                  This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

                  I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...

                  P15 Gen 1 (type 20ST, 20SU) Laptop (ThinkPad) - Type 20ST need main and video BIOS
                  by iizik
                  P15 Gen 1 (type 20ST, 20SU) Laptop (ThinkPad) - Type 20ST needs the main BIOS and video. The client says that after the Windows updates there was a firmware update and after that the device makes the sound of music when there is no screen. Moreover, if you turn it on several times then the picture sometimes appears and it works and passes all tests (wonder)
                  and may even reboot normally a couple of times
                  Now he doesn't want it anymore, no matter what I tried
                  It helped to change the video cable a couple of times, I ordered a new cable, it didn't help
                  Of course I checked the...

                  LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
                  by Hakuu
                  Hi There,

                  This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

                  After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

                  TV Model - LG OLED77G1PUA

                  Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...

                  Vizio E701i-A3 backlight only and now no backlight
                  by Awsmessymail
                  Hello all,
                  I’ve tried to repair TVs in the past with some luck. Toms repair manuals got taken down and now thats a bit harder.
                  I picked this TV up hoping for a quick fix. When the TV would power on, only the backlights would come on. The owner told me they heard loud screeching before it shut off. This alone makes me want to think the main board has an issue.
                  As I researched, I found the TCON/driver boards were an issue on this unit. I went in troubleshooting the TCON but found good voltages on the TCON. I followed shop jimmys guide to test the transistors and they seem okay....
