Hello,

My Samsung TV had a black patch on the left side of the screen for a while. One night it shut off and then became stuck in a boot loop. I initially believed the back-light was the issue and replaced the LEDs but it still boot loops. I've since replaced the main board and the issue persists.

With the main board unplugged, it powers on and the back-light comes on. I've tried the tape method but I gave up as I don't know what pins I need to cover.

I suspect the panel itself it broken but have no multi-meter to test. Is it worth investing in one to test?...

hello all, needing some help with my TV so signed up and I'm making sure to introduce myself 1st.
