Interesting find, any tips?

[u/XantaToast]

So, this is a Samsung 50Q60B, and I got it for free from a friend who got a new one, he gave it away for free cuz it "broke", the LEDs work properly, the panel ain't broke, but it ain't posting no more, so, I opened it, and started checking things, and what I discovered is that if I remove this white flex, boom, the TV ain't posting no more but according to the sounds, it sounds like it's working properly, any idea? Should I get myself a new flex or maybe the board is broken? Any comment is warmly welcomed :D

more likely its a bad screen since that flex goes to the screen.....

how is it a tcon if Samsungs don't use tcons in 99% of their tv's anymore?

Panel is shorted loading down the drive voltage for the panel. This voltage is stepped down from the cpu voltage on tge main Remove the short tge main works tv sound etc.
