Tried both screens, new and original. Completely assembled as well.
Some sticky residue on heat pipe/fins. Some around j6600/J4900, u8600/u9120. Didn't see any liquid over by j4402 but when this thing is on j4402 feels like it's on fire.

First link with original screen. Second link with entirely different display and body.
Quality gets way worse with some theatre light effects at lower backlight level and actually completely turned off...
Hi!
Replaced SMC with same issues present.

Thanks!

Hello.
So far I tried 3 known good screens. 2 known good DC-IN boards and cables. All 6 LCD Return resistors are around 0 Ohm. Tried 3 lp8550's.

Tried shorting...
