Hilarious, Dennis! But after years of cleaning my Dad's truck windshield and my Grandpa's windows on the inside, I would recommend soap and water, or windex for a chronic smoker's glass surfaces, including any stoner's mirror. Don't drink, gargle, or inhale it though. It won't clean your lungs...

By the way, if anyone reading this decides to give up fixing the same Samsung model described above, and before pitching or recycling it, is willing to snail mail me any or all of the three boards discussed, for swapping experiments, I'm all ears. Cheers, Ken.

So, if you find it fascinating, maybe you shouldn't underestimate your abilities. Getting the back off only involves a phillips screwdriver (and you can google that if you don't know what it is) and removing a few screws.

I haven't yet looked for the cost of the board on ebay (the purchase and replacement of which is a gamble), but your suggestion made me realize I hadn't disconnected and reconnected all the ribbon cables. There are actually four ribbon cables (not two) that run from the board you mention to the...
