Help troubleshooting the flaw in a Hisense
Last month, the building next to mine got rid of this giant plasma: A Hisense 60R6E-G181595-60N3500UWR. From the outside it looked intact and so I decided to make it my next project. When I plug it in, the screen turns on - there is no menu or logo, but I can hear the options clicking when I toggle the button.
I thought there must be a circut bug somewhere, so I ordered all new boards (ebay), but when I finished installing them and tried it again, I got the same error - the screen glows, but no logo or menu or sound. So not only don't I actually know what's wrong with it, I just spent $60 on parts for no reason
There's no water damage, the screen isn't cracked, and it turns on, and when I plug it into my computer it detects a new display.
I see three possible paths:
1. Order a second set of new boards from a real supplier.
2. Get a multimeter and attempt to find some type of blown fuse/busted capacitor on the board.
3. Put the original boards back in and try some type of menu reset. Order a remote control?
I want to emphasize that this is about education for me. I'm not trying to make a profit, I'm trying to learn to fix broken televisions and I *am not* throwing it away: If I had wanted a new TV I could have just bought one.
The question I have is this: How can I pinpoint the exact broken part in this television? There must be some undiscovered flaw that I'm not seeing: Maybe the display ribbons got crimped, maybe there's a short in the panel, maybe I got broken parts from ebay, etc. There must be a way to tell whether the issue is the panel or the boards. Is there some type of panel tester device I can buy? How do they test them in the factories?
Here’s a picture of it on:
Is this a good question?
the backlight is on but there is no video - which explains the no logo and no menu. The issue may be in the panel driver board(s) or the video board or the power supply. The video section may be part of another board (main board). If you are trying to isolate the problem do not replace all the boards at once. You may have a bad board and it may be different than the original bad board.

The 60R6E-G181595-60N3500UWR model from Hisense should be a 4K Roku Smart LED Tv and not a plasma. Post some good pictures of all of your boards, the interconnect cables and the TV model number with your QUESTION. That way we can see what you see and it might make it easier to identify the casue for your TV to not have a video. This is usually a main board issue but let see what you have going on there. Adding images to an existing question and yes, you will need a multimeter
