    Panasonic 48" LED TV, backlight on but no picture

    Hello all

    Have a Panasonic 48" LED TV model no. TX-48AS640B. Just over 1 year old. When switched on the backlight comes on but no picture is displayed. Can hear the menu being navigated. Suspecting main board, any ideas ? Hope someone can help.

    thanks

    Check for voltage on both sides of the TCON fuse. It should be near one of the connectors
    going to the main board. If you send a clear picture of the TCON board we should be able to point it out. (it's the one at the bottom of your picture) There should be 12V or 5V on both sides of the fuse. Some nay not have a fuse though.

      Hi

      Thanks for that. Think I identified the fuse (circled). 12v both sides !

        Try having one ribbon cable between the T-CON and the LCD panel connected one at a time to see what you get on the screen.

                        Jesus Christ that smokes? That changes capacitors?

                        Also Jesus Christ chooses... PANASONIC...

                              well thats the main board and tcon replaced for good working ones and still nothing but a blank screen

                              also checked out all screen tabs etc no damage faults etc
                              im starting to think its the psu but nothing visual or blown

                              does any have a service manual or know the voltage the power board gives to main

                                Fuse on panel FRP boards?
                                Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                                    Located in the long boards that are attached to the panel itself. They are concealed within the frame.

                                    Of course this is just a hunch. I have seen panels that have fuses built on to these boards as a precautionary secondary step incase t-con fails

                                          this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
                                          i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
                                          unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
                                          according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

                                          Hi all

                                          While I have quite a decent background in electrical & electronic troubleshooting & repairs, this is my first time stripping down an LCD TV for repair.... I have inherited a 3yr old Panasonic LCD which has a picture, but it is quite dark (too dark to be watchable - but still quite easy to see; I didnt need a torch to see it).

                                          I started by checking and trying to adjust all of the picture and backlighting levels, but that made little to no difference. I also did a factory reset.

                                          From there I envisaged that the backlighting wasn't working, however...

                                          Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                                          by TR103
                                          Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                                          - sound and backlight, but no picture
                                          - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                                          - it keeps rebooting
                                          - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                                          - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)

                                          Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
                                          by Mgiffune
                                          I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

                                          I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and

                                          Which fuse is responsible for backlight on Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 3
                                          by Attila Jamilov
                                          I upgraded display from HD to UHD recently, and I think I did everything right, battery was disabled in BIOS, and removed, yet the screen has no backlight. Both the old and new display behave the same way. I checked the motherboard and I see the fv1 fuse, and a fv2 spot for a fuse, but it's missing. Does anyone have any information on whether fv2 is responsible for backlight, or why it's missing? There's a schematic posted somewhere on this forum, but I can't view it as I don't have the hardware right now, since the laptop screen is broken and I run Linux.
