Is it posible replace a cooked t-con board?

Lonny - Where are you getting the needed T-CON boards??

Apple does not make them available as a spare even to their repair depots and I've asked a few folks in Shenzhen China and they tell me they can't be found and any you do find are from used displays so they may be defective (taking your chances).

So while it is technically possible to replace, finding a good replacement part is just not possible.

@danj You're correct, it's almost impossible to find replacement boards. I save many of the parts from old displays for my own repairs. If it were not for those parts I'm not sure where you would find them. I know Rossmann Repair Group used to have a box full of T-CON boards, but I think they only keep them for internal use as well. If they even still save them at all. Maybe give them a call.

@Kali Meli - Just because there is a glimmer of hope in just replacing the T-CON board, the possibility of finding the needed part that is even good is extremely rare! Remember a used part will likely be from a burnt display, by someone thinking they can sell you junk! Buyer beware!

Trust me its best to just get a new full assembly then trying to patch yours up.

The last shoe here is you need very good micro-soldering skills to desolder the ribbon cables without damaging the cables or the board.

The question was “ can I replace the cooked t-con board with the good condition t-com board from my old broken lcd?”. The answer is most certainly “Yes” …. Is it something that you can find the parts for or that you might have the proper tools or skills to perform? In many cases no. Because displays are so expensive and in some cases hard to find, sometimes it’s worth the extra time it takes to try a repair such as this, especially if your experience and access to parts will afford you the ability to do so. Often experience will also guide you to know if it’s a repair that’s even worth performing.

@Lonny Gallant - There is a difference in your skill set (and mine) from most people who are asking for help here.

We are brain surgeons so this type of repair is not hard for us. For a tire mechanic it is a long stretch!

Scaling the answer is just as important than the 'sure no problem' without filling in the details.
