Dear all First of all I couldn’t find my TV model in the list so I picked the closest one The problem is: The screen was black with vertical gray lines, and because I’m a do it your self kinda guy I opend the TV and after a lot of YouTube and visual inspection of the t-con board I found a chip on it that has a burn marks so I ordered another board and replaced it and YES the TV works again :) But :( the right half of the screen is darker than the left one Now is this a faulty t-con or ribbon cable or back-light problem?? The TV model number is UE46B6000 Many thanks in advance for your help
Update (09/13/2019) Hey everyone here are some updates: 1- to eliminate any compatibility problem that was referred to by @danj i’ve turned on the tv with nothing plugged to it and the the right half of the scree is still darker than the left one (see photo)
2- moving on to the next tip from @oldturkey03 i’ve removed the bottom protecting panel under the t-con to fully inspect the ribbon cables and surprise surprise there is water damage on the right side connector
from screen cleaning spray i suppose 3- now before putting this fix to rest if anyone have a tip on how to order the right flat ribbon cable would be help full, don’t forget that i’m a hobbyist and this is my first TV fix :) on the ribbon cable it says M 20861 105C VW- 1 TennRich and i’ve counted 80 pins (which wasn’t easy :)) as for the dimensions its 42.5 x 44.5 mm i’ve googled a bit and i found that people talking about how many volts it should handle
@daif1976 it is not a backlight problem since it is way to well defined. Backlight issues will never leave a crisp line like that anywhere. This looks more like a T-con board/LVDS cable issue. Check your connections on the board and make sure that your ribbon cables are properly seated etc. Ultimately it is always possible that this is a panel issue but that is less likely.
So what is your question here? Do you want to get same colour for both sides?
