Explanation of LG T-con numbers sometimes used in Sony tv's.
If you need an LG T-con, look at the number in the white section; you will see a 4-digit number followed by 1 letter and another 1 digit. You only need the 4 digits and the letter. Place 6871L- before that number, and you will have the correct T-con you need. See photos.

Replacing the mainboard.
When swapping/replacing a mainboard, the firmware often needs to be reloaded. This is to allow the T-Con to communicate with the mainboard again.
If the LED flashes green / amber after replacing the mainboard, re-upload the firmware.
You can find this on the Sony website for your country; see support / downloads.
Before updating, turn on the device for 2 minutes before inserting the USB stick into the device.
Please note that the update can take a considerable amount of time; up to 45 minutes is not uncommon. Never unplug the power cord!

Replacing an OLED T-con.
You cannot simply transfer a T-con from an OLED TV to another device with the same model number and display panel. The T-con contains an IC with the necessary data to prevent Mura Clouding; the software located in the old, defective T-con must be transferred. This can be done by transferring the IC, for which you need special equipment.
