    OP, the best method is to find another TV and start swapping. Like I said, you can have multiple problems at the moment.
    But you can try the following.
    Put everything back, just disconnect the cable between main board and T-con. BTW, make sure the cable is not broken.
    Find power supply connection to T-Con and connect it by single wire.
    Turn TV on. If panel is cycling through red, green, blue solid colors, then panel should be good.

      I actually asked Nick about that color test and he's not sure whether this model has that function to begin with. Not that it doesn't, just not sure.

      Currently nothing happens when I disconnect both cables between main and t-con. However if I don't power the t-con, then I get 5 red flashes on the indicator LED. Would that happen if the board was bad too, indicating that both boards are good?

      Also read this in a Sony training manual:

      One trick to check most TCONS for functionality is to loosen the LVDS connector at the TCON (as shown In Figure 4-3) while the unit is turned on. Handle the LVDS connector with care and be certain to fully release the lock tabs. Gently rock the cable in and out of the connector while observing the screen for any response. Depending on the chassis, the symptoms of the screen may be gentle white flashes, intermittent colored lines, or a screen full of random patterns. The idea at this point is to provoke some kind of response on the screen. TCON boards that have failed will not usually generate any type of response on the screen.

      Tried that last night and did not see any response at all. What are the odds that my original t-con AND the new one I just got are both bad and the panel is actually fine?

        Don't need any followers, and I will always point out when some KNOWITALL like you is jumping to conclusions, if you don't like it, guess thats just too bad.

              Aww c'mon guys, this definitely isn't helping me fix my TV. I get excited when I see replies in my thread only to end up seeing this crap...can we please get back to what's important? You don't need to speak to one another anymore if you don't want to, but would be great if you'd reply to me.

                  @keberos137

                  Post #1 said you got 2x main 2x t-con followed by a blind (can't see screen) firmware update.

                  Was blind update done on both main? If not, how does the non-updated main behave now? Do you still get a startup screen?

                  Know how to use a multi-meter to do basic short tests and DC voltage readings?

                    by CyberPhoenix
                    Hello, Last week I bought the 50" Sony X80j tv everything was working fine, untill I plugged the tv in a ups power supply 650va the tv remote control became unresponsive and the TV became laggy after a while the picture quality isn't the same as before the tv seems less brighter and the picture is somehow blurry, people's faces don't look as natural as before, there is a mini orange-pink tint to the edge of people's faces especially in NETFLIX Dolby Vision like in One Piece ep1 Alvida skin tone, my intention was to protect the tv but something went wrong I checked the ups with a multimeter,...

                    4 red flash led 65X950G boot Sony and android logo but then black
                    by Ihandyrepair
                    HI guys

                    I got here a Sony 65X950G - I tried to find any repairs guides for this model but not many online

                    here is the issue
                    I have Sony and android logo. but then 4 led red flash lights front of the tv

                    I have 3.3v ref. 12v reg then T con 12v when I press the power on button
                    but then I get black screen and 4 red flash light at the front LED
                    but I get 3 led flash on the LED driver board.

                    I check that few X900F or C YouTube repairs, seems that if you have 4 led red flash it could be due of LED black light error
                    so I tried...

                    by Adam Russ
                    Weird issue with this tv. Was streaming to the from a computer when it stopped working and the screen went black. Ever since then there has been. o image. Just a black screen. The audio works and yhe backlights do come on when it's powered on, it's just a black image. It presented like a backlight issue. So I finally got around to getting new backlights and a backlight tester. All of them test the same as the good backlights with the same voltages. There are no blinking lights. Just the white led at startup and when buttons on the remote are pressed signaling it's receiving from the remote....
