T-Con Board in Smart TV and network connection

I have recently fixed a Smart TV which had a smashed screen and T-Con and obviously the strip for T-Con board so anyway i got parts from TV I had and was going to try and repair seemed a bit daft throwing it out just because it would not start up it light up just standby light so i got this smart TV and ended up taking the bits from my old one which was not a Smart TV and i used the T-Con board and other bits so with this now having parts from a non Smart would i loose certain functions or just any functions because it runs proper mint the picture and sound that it gives out is a lot better than the Smart TV i bought but when i go in menu to adjust settings and Network connection i get connection well TV says connected but thats it theirs no sign of internet menu or Apps it is just like it was before connection so i am thinking it is either that T-Con board or when it got smashed that might of damaged it i can get another board but i do not want to have to take apart again because it was really risky because the Smarts T-con was at bottom like where you have button to switch on and i had to use front from old TV Right carry on but i managed it one more thing it will not install software updates it does the routine asks if i want to install starts install but gets to 99% then stops for couple of seconds then hits 100% but straight after says update failed it does everything else all the settings everything but those two internet and software i have been in main settings Service menu and WiFi is listed and software upgrades but i do not have the service results to adjust it and i did not want to take chance,so if there is anyone with bit of know how who can help me if it is because of T-con i will attempt to open it back up but do not just do it to try that.oh one more thing i am not using the original remote but i do not think that is out to do with it and Samsung Help desk changed IP address and done a reset still no joy they said contact ISP.if there is someone out there who can help i would be grate full i have service result printouts they ended up on my USB.

The Tcon board only controls the picture on the screen. nothing else. The main board has the extra circuits to make it a smart tv. Get a main board for the smart tv and your problems will go away.

Testimonial: "HI thanks for answer but before i put back together i had someone check them because i got ball kicked at it then fell that is why i had to put different front i sent pics did you not see them i only tried it because those Smart TVs there is nothing to them compared to older LCD/LED so what on main board will have been damaged and do you know where is best place and will it have to be exactly the same its i am thinking of doing another ha. How much are they and i will only need model of TV won't i..?Thanks again."

    The best place for parts is www.shopjimmy.com The pictures never made it to your original post. Some TV's add circuitry to the main board to make them smart, others add more boards like Roku and wi fi radios.

SOURCE: got a new T-con but no luck

is your back light constantly on when you are not changing channels.if so replace the main board. can you see a menu if you hit the menu button ? that is generated by your main board..... replacing the t-con will only correct vertical lines in the pic.

SOURCE: I just changed the main power board, and

You need to try the following:
Check the power supply caps and voltages. Reseat the ribbon cables between the T-CON board (Timing Control board) which drive the LCD panel rows and columns, it get the LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signals) form the main board which has the VIDEO processor to drive the T-CON board.
When T-CON is dead you will see glowing screen without video, or when it has timing problem you will see lines, rolling, multiple pictures, pixelating.
The main board supplys switched 12vdc to power the T-CON board.
You need to do more checking.
First, look at the screen in darkened room to see if you can see any slight glow from the screen, if it does, then the problem can be the T-CON (not getting the 12vdc) or the main logic board not feeding the signals to the T-CON board.
if not, next place to check will be the power supply module, make sure it has 24vdc which is required by the backlight inverter to work, the reason for not having 24vdc can be from bad DC filter caps (leaking/bulging top, high ESR) or short circuits in the inverter board which will cause the 24vdc supply to go into shutdown mode, so you may have to disconnect the power cable that feed the inverter board to see if the 24vdc will work without the inverter board hookup, you will need to apply about 3~4 amp of load to the 24vdc to make sure it can handle that. There are fuses on the backlight inverter boards also. So there is some troubleshooting you will have to do to find out the causes of the problem you are having.

SOURCE: Hi, I have searched all over

If you can see an image and it's OK - no distortions or corruption - then it's not an image problem, it's a backlighting problem. This means that the faulty part is not the T-con or any other board that works on the image, it's the inverter - the board that powers the tubes that generate the lighting for the screen.
Since i don't know the exact model of your tv i can't be sure this is the exact part. But if you own - as i suspect - an 37RV530U then here it is

SOURCE: sharp Lc-26sb24u white screen with sound

You will get a white screen when you unplug the t-con from the main board. Doing so removes power to the LCD panel. Verify that all of your voltages from the power supply are correct. If they are, I'd look at the t-con board. It sounds like there is a problem with the t-con that is pulling down the main board.

I am trying to fix a Vizio E60u-D3 flat screen TV. I'm trying to determine if I have a bad screen or a bad T-Con board.

It's possible that the T-Con board or the screen is damaged, but it's difficult to say without further testing. However, based on the symptoms you've described, it sounds more likely that the screen is damaged. Covering a pin on the ribbon cable from the T-Con board to the screen driver board is not a typical solution for this kind of issue, and the solarized colors you're seeing are indicative of a damaged screen.
If you have the necessary technical knowledge and equipment, you could try swapping the T-Con board and see if that fixes the issue. However, replacing the T-Con board is not guaranteed to solve the problem and may not be worth the cost and effort if the screen is indeed damaged.
In general, handling a flat-screen TV can be delicate and cause damage, especially if proper precautions are not taken. It's possible that you damaged the screen while replacing the backlight strips. To avoid further damage, it may be best to seek professional assistance if you're not confident in your ability to repair the TV.

55 inch Vizio smart tv no video

It sounds like you may have a problem with the video signal on your Vizio 55 inch flat screen TV. The fact that the TV turns on and has sound, but no video and vertical lines on the screen, suggests that there may be an issue with the video processing or display.
It could be a problem with the T-CON board, which is responsible for the video signal processing. It could also be a problem with the LCD panel itself.
It's also possible that there's an issue with the cable connecting the T-CON board to the LCD panel, or a problem with the software on the main board.
I recommend consulting the manual of the TV or contacting the manufacturer for further assistance. A professional technician should be able to diagnose and fix the problem.
It's also possible that the issue is with the mainboard or the T-CON board is not compatible with the TV. Thus, it's best to check the compatibility of the parts with the TV before installing it.

Samsung 55" Q80A 2021 has green tone/tint on whole screen.

The screen being green on your TV is either caused by a loose or damaged cable connection of a media component to or from the TV or it could be that the TV's T con board is having problems and it would be more cheaper to bu a new TV than to try and fix the one that you have is broken.

LG 55LM4600-UC LED TV I have was squirted with a squirt gun. Would replacing the t-con board fix this tv? Please read further details.

when water shorts out something it overloads a lot of other components so the best advice is to take it in for a proper diagnosis.
you just replace a board but another board is damaged it might just blow the board you replaced and that would prove nothing

I have a Vizio E320I-A0 and it has multiple vertical and horizontal lines on the screen, how do i fix that?

Hi,
Probably the T con board is faulty. T con board is the one which drives the lcd pixels. Chekc the video to identify the t con board. Also try to remove the connection to T con board and reconnect it. some times bad contact on those connectors can lead to such problems.
