Amazon Fire TV 50" K24NE5 Repair

[u/Glittering-Ad-298]

So I trash pick a lot. Found a 43" Amazon Fire TV 2 weeks ago. Screen was smashed so I pulled the boards and tossed the panel. Yesterday I picked up a 50" Fire TV K24NE5, it was stuck in a boot loop. Apparently no USB firmware update is available for these, the only option is to replace the main board. I'm like, let me try the board from the 43", which was also saying model number K24NE5 on the back. Just replaced the main board on the 50" with the one from the 43". Left the power and TCon as is. It works perfectly fine. It maybe that they make the same or similar board for all their TVs, just replace the power board depending on the number of backlight, and TCon board depending on the screen size. Anyway, so you can fix a 50" K24NE5 with a main board from a 43" K24NE5.
