How can I fix this issue. TV Symptoms: Picture Solarization - Now Black Screen

After taking the back panel off to inspect the T-con board and its wires due to Picture Solarization - I notice the wires were loose so I began to correct the issue. While doing so the screen went black and I am unable to view anything on the tv at the moment. The menu does not display nor are they any icons or pictures when powered on. There are no blinking red lights when the power is on. When using the menu button I notice that the screen lights up a little but not much like its in menu mode. I can only assume this might be some bad wires or TCON board but not sure. Please help would love to fix the issue myself instead of buying a new TV. I did not test the sound at this point because I am not able to see where i am on the tv to turn my apple tv on.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

Testimonial: "Fixed for $105 and a technician, short chip on the main board, also chip on tcon board was bad, replaced and tv is running like new."

It's not to complicated, in the newer TVs as well as other things, when you first turn them on the diagnostic circuits kick in [that the first relay you hear click] it sends a signal (low voltage) to all the circuits to check them and make sure there are no problems. If it gets the proper returns from each circuit it kicks out and the full power relay kicks in and powers your set up. This is done to protect others circuits that might be effected by a flaw in a different circuit. What started as a small flaw in a component has gotten worse with use which is normal. Your set is kicking the diagnostic circuits and they are detecting the problem and shutting it down. You have problems with your power board, if the diagnostics circuits were not in place and full power hit the set the power board could possibly put triple or more voltage to some section of another board, thus burning it out also. That's why they started using the diagnostic circuits on TVs, Computers have had them for years. Late model car - etc. I would take the power board out of it and go to shop Jimmy's and enter the part # which will be on the board and order me another one and pop it in and kick back and watch TV again. I don't know what a power board would cost for it but "shopjimmy's" carries high quality boards at a reasonable price. I do caution you on buying a refurbished board, they are tempting but I have never and I mean never seen one hold up very long. As a matter of fact I will not put one into a TV or anything else for that matter. So there is light at the end of the tunnel and it's not the train this time! I only work on the kind of TV that plug into the wall or run on batteries, therefore, I've seen a bunch of them in14 years. Don't worry about getting the wires mixed up because one thing about TVs is a harness or plug will only fit one place and that is where it belogs you can't cross them up.

SOURCE: Tv powers on, but shows a black screen. There is no audio as well. When the problem occurred, the blinking lights meant that there was a power surge of some kind. If I remember correctly that's what

Here is the customer support contact.

SOURCE: Tcon issue?

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis.
http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
In some models of LCD TVS; the backlight inverter and its T'Con board will be a part of the panel itself, and will be a built-in type inside the LCD panel. If so, they can't be replaced. In this case; a panel replacement is the only repair. For some other models, the backlight inverter section circuit will be a part of the main power supply regulator [SMPS]. To such sets, the power supply section circuit too should trouble shoot. Contact any service technician. The circuit will differ with models and versions.

I have a Hisense model 50h5c sound black screen flashlight test image on half lines on other half screen is on right what parts do you think I need

Based on the symptoms you described for your Hisense model 50h5c TV, it seems that there may be a hardware issue affecting the display. Without being able to diagnose the TV in person, it is challenging to pinpoint the exact parts that may need replacement. However, there are a few components that commonly contribute to display issues:
T-Con Board: The T-Con (Timing Control) board controls the timing and signals sent to the display panel. If there are issues with half of the screen or black screen with half lines, a malfunctioning T-Con board could be a potential culprit.
Display Panel: The display panel itself could be defective, causing the black screen or half-line issue. Unfortunately, replacing the display panel can be costly and often not cost-effective compared to purchasing a new TV.
Main Board: The main board handles various functions of the TV, including signal processing and overall control. In some cases, issues with the main board can cause display problems.

How to verify symptoms for a faulty t-con board and what number on the T-con board to look at while ordering a replacement?

Sorry about bad news but you have a 1% chance of this being a timing board issue, it's going to be a bad panel, it's either a bad COF IC or a buffer capacitor on the panel board that doesn't give a picture, if it's a COF it won't be fixable, but you could test the 17-volt rail coming out of the tcon board on the side that doesn't work, if no voltage look at the MMF capacitors to see if they're shorted, there will be one for each COF, if one shows shorted they all will appear bad until removed, thern chances are only one is bad, the problem is going to be replacing them as they're very small and advanced solder skills and the proper equipment are needed.

Recently the picture became dark and heavily tinted with a reddish-brown color, how can I fix it?

Andy there are usually two inverter/backlight boards (usually on each side of the TV ) (inside the back cover). Most have Ribbon cables attached and lead to the screen. might try those. most of the T-con , inverter boards cost nearly the same.(according to the make and model of TV u have) even at $35 each it is still better that buying new TV .

In what way is the screen broken? cracked, distorted picture, no picture but has sound?

If it is cracked. Replacement of screen is expensive. Cheaper to buy a new TV.
If Distorted. Parts linked to the screen can be the culprit. Most common part to fail is the T-con board. Main board may not be sending signal to the T-con board.
If its no picture but has sound. Back lighting has failed which could be several things that can cause that.

without any other details besides "broken" it will be hard for someone to help with diagnosing your problem. We need symptoms like. has sound but no picture. Picture has horizontal or vertical lines. part or half of the screen is black, black borders don't count. Hope the info here has, in some way, helped bring you closer to what to do with your TV.

Screen right side is black for 40"sony lcd tv

Hi,

This kind of symptoms is an indication of faulty T-con board. This board has a connector to the main board and to the panel. These connectors must be pull-out, inspect, and then re-insert and ensure that they are properly seat-in to isolate loose connection from fault. If the symptoms still persist, you have to replace this board to resolve the problem.

Opening the back cover will void the warranty. If your unit is still under warranty period, avail it because the manufacturer will fix it fro free.

Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.
