I would like to say that if you are having a problem with your TV be sure to check the
model number first. The model number appears in this little box over here. Every TV is
different, this is a Sony LCD TV but you will see the model number and serial number over
in a box like this. The model number are very important because that is what will help you
to identify what parts are needed to repair your TV. If you are having a problem with
your TV, please feel free to comment in the comments section below this video or send
us a message on YouTube with your TV model number and the problem that you are having.
This way we will be able to help you diagnose the problem and suggest a fix. So the first
thing you are going to want to do is make sure you have unplugged your TV
from any power source and that you have also grounded yourself properly. Next you will
want to take out the screws in the TV that are holding the back cover on it. Every back
cover of at TV is different but most are held in by screws and can be easily removed. So
we have removed all of the screws here on the back of the TV, now we are just going
to remove this back panel.
The t-con board will sometimes be sitting right here on a TV but this one it is slipped
into this little area right here. The t-con is what connects your main board to your LCD
panel through the LVDS cable. Again this cable is very fragile, so you will want to be very
careful if you are disconnecting it at any point.
One common symptom of a bad t-con board is if your TV has backlights and sound but there
is no picture. So lets say that you have your cable box connected to your TV, you turn it
on, but you are not able to see the image that means that most likely there will be
a problem with your t-con board, because you are getting the sound from the main board
but you are not getting the image through the t-con.
Another common problem with the t-con board is that you can get colored vertical lines
on your screen or half of the screen is missing the picture.
Now, something that is a little bit unique about this TV is that the t-con board is actually
bonded into the panel. So you would not be able to replace this t-con board, but now
we are going to take a look at a different TV where you would be able to replace the
t-con, where it is located out here on the panel similar to these other parts in this
TV. You will just have to remove the screws that
connect the t-con to the panel and then disconnect the connections very carefully, especially
the LVDS as it is very fragile. Some t-cons can also have ribbon connectors
and you want to be very careful with removing those as well. We will show you a video right
now on how to remove the ribbon connectors. Using your finger flip up the tab on the ribbon
connector and gently remove the ribbon. Please do not use a screwdriver to open ribbon connectors,
as it can cause damage to the pins. Gently guide the ribbon back into the connector,
match the line printed on the ribbon cable with the edge of the connector and close the
tab on the top. Thank you for watching our LCD video.
