I still dont understand a word you said but following along with your actions step by step fixed my issue and its for the other non-spanish speaking folks that Im writing this guide.

If youve still got warranty, this entire process will void it.

Not only is this panel super flexible and heavy, its also very delicate and you cant squeeze it or bend it much or itll crack and youre screwed.

My bed is stupid high so I just used that, but a table with some towels over it would work great too.

Make sure the TV is UNPLUGGED and has been left idle for at least a minute or two to let the capacitors discharge.

Or dont and enjoy the sudden surge of electricity if you touch something youre not supposed to.

Theres 4 screws recessed right above where the base meets the screen.

Theres 4 larger-than-the-rest philips head bolts that are for wallmounts, a few small circle philips screws, and a bunch more of these odd mushroom-like screws.

If for some reason you cant remember where a certain screw goes, the big screws are in the middle (they only fit in one place), the mushroom ones have a rounded square drawn in each of their holes in the plastic moulding, and the rest fill the remaining screws.

Below the middle board theres another board very well hidden underneath another layer of metal.

Disconnect one side of this small bluewhite ribbon cable by lifting on on the black plastic tab and sliding the cable out.

Doing this step will allow you to force the backlight board to perform a self-check of the backlight LEDs when you turn it on later.

These plates need to be removed to reveal two small screws on the side of the t-con board cover plate.

Put these screws and the plates aside (ziplock bags are a fantastic place to put them in, or use a magnetic bowl) remove the two ribbon cables from the t-con board.

These require you to press clips on both sides of the connector to release the lock, and a gentle wiggle will bring them out.

Note that there may be some plack tape holding these cables in place.

Be VERY CAREFUL not to crease these cables as that can cause permanent damage to them.
