Right side screen is darker than the left one
Dear all
First of all I couldn't find my TV model in the list so I picked the closest one
The problem is:
The screen was black with vertical gray lines, and because I'm a do it your self kinda guy I opend the TV and after a lot of YouTube and visual inspection of the t-con board I found a chip on it that has a burn marks so I ordered another board and replaced it and YES the TV works again :)
But :( the right half of the screen is darker than the left one
Now is this a faulty t-con or ribbon cable or back-light problem??
The TV model number is UE46B6000
Many thanks in advance for your help

Hey everyone
here are some updates:
1- to eliminate any compatibility problem that was referred to by
@danj i’ve turned on the tv with nothing plugged to it and the the right half of the scree is still darker than the left one (see photo)
2- moving on to the next tip from @oldturkey03 i’ve removed the bottom protecting panel under the t-con to fully inspect the ribbon cables and surprise surprise there is water damage on the right side connector
from screen cleaning spray i suppose
3- now before putting this fix to rest if anyone have a tip on how to order the right flat ribbon cable would be help full, don’t forget that i’m a hobbyist and this is my first TV fix :)
on the ribbon cable it says M 20861 105C VW- 1 TennRich
and i’ve counted 80 pins (which wasn’t easy :)) as for the dimensions its 42.5 x 44.5 mm
i’ve googled a bit and i found that people talking about how many volts it should handle
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Does your computer system have its own monitor?
Does it look OK with it? If you don't have a dedicated display on the computer, try another monitor or TV as well.

@oldturkey03 - Daif is using a Mac system with his TV if you look closely you can see the macOS menus. So... is this the primary or secondary display? Is the problem within the TV (display). Or is this a system issue? Thats why I asked as I had.

@danj
sorry if the photo is not clear but actually it's my windows laptop, I've opend a notepad to make the screen as white as possible
And yes the laptop has an integrated and dedicated graphic card
But I'll consider the compatibility issue and fiddle around with the settings
Thanks for the tip

@daif1976 - I wasn't really sure as I couldn't see the Apple logo in the far left corner. If I understand things more clearly here your TV's image from a broadcast station (over the air or cable) is clean. It's only when you connect to the your Windows laptop. So then is your laptop's image clean? If this is not correct please let us know.
