I did bounce the ribbon cables around, no flicker, than again the main board fuse f701 is blown, no 12v on either side fb401. how do i find the fuse ratings for the main board, and you said you have other ways of testing the caps on the tcon..?

> I changed the fuse f701 on the main board before you posted. I installed the original tcon board, and powered on the tv, and got no pic, no audio, and the backlights went on and then off, no blown fuse. so, i installed the new tcon board recently purchased from ebay, and the fuse f701 blew. I should have removed the ribbon cables, I tested some caps on the original and found that three metal cylindrical caps are shorted. I know it makes no sense. but anyways, I returned the new board back to ebay, and am going to purchase a new one. I want to make the tests you mentioned but am out of fuses, so how i can i find the ratings on them, it's a smd white fuse with a number 5 on it, any ideas..?
 
The two fuses on the main are marked with a T. According to my notes, that makes them 5A 32V.
 
Again, you're not differentiating what boards are what.
 
Did you blow fuses on both mains?
 
One more time: replace the fuses on one of the mains and install the complete set of boards. Do not turn the TV on. Read the resistance of the fuses on the main and FB416 near the LVDS connector on the main to ground.
 
They should have no less than several thousand ohms on any of those points. If you get a low reading, disconnect the TCON. If the short goes away, your TCON is shorted. Install you second TCON and read again. If the short reappears, your second TCON is shorted.
 
If you get a low ohm condition to ground on the fuses or the FB, you'll blow fuses every time you plug it in.
 
Those caps are bypass filters to ground and will read short if the source they're on is feeding a shorted device. Those larger caps might also be bypassed by low value low ESR ceramic caps, any of which will present a short across any of the parts paralleled in the circuit.
