LCD TV Backlight Inverter Swap
by SteveDiRaddo on Jan.21, 2010, under Hacks and Mods

Yet another broken LCD TV came its way to me, this time for free. This particular model has a dead backlight. Since I have a slightly larger TV with no image panel and a nice working backlight, is it possible to swap them, knowing they are incompatible?
Another Broken LCD TV

Today I bought a 32” Sony LCD TV with a bad mainboard. Why? Because I am going to combine it in the most evil-mad-scientist way possible with my older 42” Sharp LCD TV with the smashed screen to make a Franken-Sony! It will think it’s a Sharp, which is great!
LCD TV Light Table

It seems people enjoy donating their broken and useless electronics to me. My uncle gave me a nice 42″ LCD TV. Unfortunately this TV had unfortunate accident involving a childs foot (thats right, a TV that has not been smashed by a wiimote, how rare!). Yet another LCD panel tragically takn before it’s time at the hands of a child. Tsk tsk. Parents really should invest in plexiglass TV guards. Anyway, here’s how I turned it into a laptop-controlled light table with audio.
