TV Test Jigs Are Back in Stock at GPCA!

The purpose of the TV Test jig, if you are not already aware, is to troubleshoot video issues
that exist on or between the main board and the panel. It also checks power supply opera-
tion to the main board.
Using the jig will reduce the amount of time you need to service picture issues by letting
you quickly isolating defects. It will also reduce the number of times you unpack unneeded
parts, letting you keep their seals intact.
Caution: Do not use this jig on TVs with screen sizes 32” and smaller. If the panel does
not have a “standard” TCon board, using the jig can damage the panel, main board, and
jig.
