    LG 49UF6400 tint on half of screen + no OSD?

    Hi all,
    I have a LG 49UF6400 with two issues. The first is a colored tint on the left side of the screen. The color of the tint depends, but I've seen red, green, and purple so far. I can see a normal image behind the tint as shown in the photos. The tinted side flashes rapidly between "normal" and "tinted"

    I suspected either the panel or the TCON, so I tested the TV with one of the panel cables disconnected. With the left side unplugged, the left half of the screen is white and the right is black. With the right unplugged, the left has vertical bars and the right is white. I have attached photos.

    At this point I felt sure that at was either the panel or the TCON, but there is another issue as well... I can't get the TV to generate ANY on screen display. At no point when testing the TV did it display and content of its own, such as a "no signal" message, the LG logo on startup, the settings menu, the built in apps, etc. If I power it on with no video source I only get a black screen (with the tint mentioned earlier) until I hook it up to a video source, at which point it will display only that.

    At first I thought the TV was completely unresponsive but that isn't true. This TV has a frame dimming feature, and I've noticed that if I display a black image on my video source (which causes the backlit to dim) and then press, for example, the menu button, the backlit will ramp up while the invisible menu is open and dim again when I press exit. So it seems like the TV is generating a menu and adjusting the backlit accordingly, but it won't display it.

    I've never seen or heard of the second issue before. What do you guys think? If the TV can't display an OSD in addition to the tint, does that imply that both the mainboard and TCON/panel failed, or could all these issues be caused by the mainboard itself?

    Tcon there for 25 bucks, might be the problem, there's also one for 18 or 19 but it's on a slow boat from china: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-6871L-42...AAAOSwDQxezqJ5

      I added the TCON to my watch list, but I don't want to spend money on this TV just yet because I still haven't figured out why it won't display an OSD. Surely the TCON has nothing to do with it, right?

      I also noticed that the two chips I circled in the picture got VERY hot even though the TV had been running for less than 30 minutes. Seems strange that they would generate that much heat in so little time, especially considering that the TV wasn't running built in apps or doing anything "demanding"

        That's a BGA issue on the mainboard not a tcon issue.

          Hmm, any idea where I can find a reasonably priced mainboard for this TV? Only one I could find on eBay was $175, and it seems to be out of stock everywhere else.

            I have used this seller before for main board repair with no issues. Not sure if it will correct your problems so you can contact him first.

              Thanks for the suggestion, I contacted him and he thinks he can fix it. I'll post an update when I get the board back

                  Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
                  by Chrissygizmo
                  Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
                  I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

                  Sony 8K XBR-75Z8H White Screen Vertical Bars Tcon Code. Help Needed🙏
                  by Daren87
                  Hello everyone,

                  I've recently been given a Sony 8k Z8H. It's got a white screen with two vertical black bars. At times it's given me the 5 blink Tcon code. Testing voltage on the Tcon I can see some low or missing voltage. I've done a basic visual check of cables and the COF. Not seeing anything obvious. The original Tcon seemed to have good caps until turning it over. On the bottom I found maybe 10 caps with both sides of the caps shorting to ground. I thought ok these caps and likely other components on the Tcon are shorted so let's try a replacement Tcon. I just received the...

                  ThinkPad P15s Gen 1, NM-C931 REV 1.0 touch screen replaced only works in UEFI menu
                  by Yehuda170
                  original screen was BOE NV156FHM-T07 with On-Cell Touch screen I²C

                  replaced with what was in my stock, which is IVO R156NWF7 R2 which is also with On-Cell Touch screen I²C

                  now touch screen works perfectly in UEFI BIOS menu & boot menu. but not working in OS, tried windows & linux too

                  with original broken screen i can see in device manager touch screen in human interfaces

                  but with the new screen it's not showing in device manager

                  is it lenovo blocking it? is it driver missing?

                  I²C is a headache

                  LG 55UH6150- trouble powering up, then half lit screen (pictures!)
                  by valvashon
                  The 55" LG has been in the basement for a few months without being used. Turned it on yesterday, set came on as it should and showed a complete screen for about 5 seconds (was on a broadcast channel but no antenna was connected), then the screen went mostly dark with about 1/3 of the screen on the right lighting up with brighter lines in that lit part (sorry, no pictures of that). Power LED was cycling too, preventing the TV from fully powering up.
                  Pulled the back off, all boards looked OK. Pulled the LED connector, turned the set on to see if it would power up but I don't belive it...
