Chosen Solution
I am replacing the T-Con (Timing Control) board (part no. T370HW02 VE) on my 2009 model Samsung LE37B651T3P TV set. This is the board…
Taking the thing apart was relatively straightforward. But now, while I’m waiting for a replacement T-Con to arrive from China, one aspect of the putting it back together is worrying me. The twin strip cables that go to the LEDs from the connectors (on the bottom edge of the board in the photo) don’t have any connector hardware on the cables themselves, they just go directly into the connectors on the board. My question is: is there any special trick you have to use to ensure that the cables line up correctly? Or does that normally just happen automatically and I’m worrying for nothing -any useful tips would be much appreciated!
@espri those are ZIF connectors. All you need is to insert the cable straight and it will seat itself properly. Let us know why you are replacing the t-con board. Just out of curiosity….
@oldturkey03, thanks for the explanation. The problem with my TV was that the colours were bad, initially with areas having a sort of “metallised” look. That was how it started, back about April, something like this…
In the meantime things have changed a little. Now the screen is pretty dark when starting up, although the picture improves slightly when the TV has run for a while. While I could still just about watch the TV, I decided I would have to do something about it. Looking on the Internet I found a few sites which seemed to show similar problems and they suggested the trouble was in the T-Con board. So that’s what made me hope that replacing it would cure the problem.
