No probs did you get to see the 5 pics or just the one with vertical line, and the one sent from the repair shop, if you didn't mines is similar I have that big long thin board and all those ribbon tabs connecting, I think alot of the TV's are made this way now, and those ribbons could get...

Hi glad to know your still there lol, because I hadn't heard from you, over the weekend I decided to ask a repair shop for an opinion, the guy was helpful and asked me to send a pic of the fault to WhatsApp, he took a while answering so I bugged him again, he told me he was consulting a...

Thanks ok, so it could be damaged cables or LCD panel, so not to nit pick lol but you did say in an earlier post that there was practically no chance it could be the panel, so I except cables or wiring, but I did have hope when you said it wouldn't be the panel, though I'm not pointing any...

Hi just an update, not blew myself up yet lol, changed out the TCON board good news the blank screen is fixed, bad news back to square one, still got big black vertical line up the centre and a thin one just to the left of it, so not the TCON board, I said I wasn't going to go chasing boards...

I'm sorry I didn't want to drag this out either and keep bugging you lol, though I think we've got our wires crossed no pun, I've no intention of using my PC, the video was just to show you what cable it was, I'm going to use that cable from the wall ground, clip it to the TV chassis, then clip...

Thanks remember what you said before about a picture, I would send a picture of the cable so you knew exactly what I was talking about, but I'm not sure you can send pictures on here, I don't see any obvious way to send it. Because you use different currents I think and the guy on the YouTube...

Hi thanks again, so kind of know what you mean about using a cable from the mains to the TV, unfortunately I don't have a flex that long, but I looked on YouTube and this guy said use a laptop charging pin as it is a grounding pin, so no more plugging the TV in and frying myself, so I just plug...

Thanks it's good to have someone help, that isn't condescending and genuinely wants to help, I got all that, the only part I never understood, was this statement (Yes Virginia, there IS a driver board..... but that is for the LED backlights). What is Virginia lol, So I only see 4 boards the...

Thanks, brilliant answer and spot on I am guilty of all of the above you mentioned, is it better to use nearly 100% alcohol, the crime is I worked in an electronics factory for 12 years lol, and I blatantly ignored grounding my self, because I thought it would be to complicated expensive etc...

TV has fault as above I looked on YouTube for solutions one was to clean ribbons on the TCON board with an eraser I done this and there was no change, so I got the bright idea to clean them with alcohol, connected them back up and the result was worse, I now ended up with a blank screen, looked...

Hi helpstar I'm using my phone that is my point, I can't log back into my account, it is no scam my phone is not infected and I am following the proper route to get back into my account but I can't because I think my account has been compromised, and there is no way to contact Facebook directly...

Hi wasn't sure where to post this, was trying to find a community forum that deals with this kind of thing, but having no luck so thought I'd try here. I'm logged out of Facebook and can't log back in I can find my account and profile picture, with my name, but the e mail associated with my...

Hi my 10 years old 42" Acoustic solutions model lcd42761f1080p just over the past year has been acting up a bit, first when I turned it on the led would flash, but then stop I would press the remote and it would come on, but sometimes this would fail and I would disconnect the power leave for a...
