Hello all. Found one of these LCD industrial monitors. Ran the PC into it, PC sent 1080p, screen backlight is on just the ocasional flickering across the top of the screen then the middle of the screen.

I have it open,

Any common areas to look at?

Anyone?

Got a picture via S-video. Full screen sttic but that's more then what VGA gave me.

It actually went clear for a second too!
There's a 6" wide bright bar on the right side of the screen about 10" out too. Video is displayed but it's a brighter band. Stationary, not rolling like hum bars, and vertical not horizontal.

Just noticed the picture within the band is color inverted (negative) and shifted down by 1/4 inch

And now the right half of the screen is blank...

Store it until you can find another one identical, swap the hopefully working video boards/LCD-drivers from it and have one working? Service manual? Toss it?

Bad T con board or bad system board would be my guess.

Remelt all solder joints in the oven? Nothing to loose?

Found the T-CON board on ebay: LG M4715CG CONTROL BOARD 6870C-0364B

Mine is an older version, slightly different layout. BUT it says from the same model TV. Do you think it will work?

It's possible, but it's common for production runs to change, so all you can do is try it. Did you check the 2 amp SMT fuse on the orignal board? Those can blow open for no reason, giving the exact symptom you describe.

<edit> never mind on the fuse, you did get a pix with Svideo. Not the fuse.

If the small print part numbers match up, you're OK. if not, they won't work.

Here they are. Slightly different numbers. The eBay part is newer:

I'll bet they won't work. Made that mistake a few times. You'll probably get a pix, but it may have lines, be pixellated, etc.

Another one just showed up with the right part number for $16.50 and free shipping. Time to roll the bones...

Tried this but no go. Still have the screen band and the right half of the screen is blank. Maybe one of the LCD driver boards or input board?

I can't even get a picture with s-video now.

Which Caigs Deoxit version should I order to clean this TV? It has an intermittent connection and was left out in the rain making for some dirty connections.

Tried the new T-con board, got no picture. I have it open and I'll be cleaning things with Caig's. I may just swap back to the other board to see if I can get it to go.

You have to remember with LCD displays that the possibility exists that the LCD panel itself is toast. The only boards directly on the LCD panel are likely a couple PCBs that the T-CON board connects to, those could very likely have failed.

I had a picture with this one via S-video. I think the input board may be fugged.

I cleaned all the contacts with Caigs. The power and back light will stay on now. So one step closer Thumbs Up
