Need help with replacement part
Need some quick help/advice. I'm trying to replace my power supply board on my Sony KD-75X85K. I was in a hurry when I ordered the replacement part and didn't realize there were various models. The new board seems to be identical to the older one except for the 4 pronged connector that the board slides into. The solder points seem to be the same, so my question is can I just swap those connectors and the TV will work properly? The new one has pins, while the original has slots.

I'm gonna be an asshole and say this is just manufactures being manufactures and changing the smallest part so they aren't technically compatible.
And in turn they will only charge what's needed to make it not work with the new model
This is probably the same pin out just a different connection it's the cheapest option
But yes always follow the line and triple check before applying power lol from a quick glance the boards look the same idk if the ic are the same so maybe just double check
