Honestly, I would recommend not doing this without significant support from Reddit or a similar space of semi experts like the badcaps.net forum. 
If you want to really dive into it you could start peeping pics of the control boards and asking around if people have had success. And admittedly, if you have the cash to replace it if it all blows up in your face, as long as the board shape, voltages, and pinouts are all in sync, you could just try it and see.

Well let say the shape fits but not the same mount holes but can make my own for it the voltage should be fine not going to use the speakers it's not a 65 or 77 inch screen so power is ok and specifically what are the pinouts not heard that reference on pcs and for sync do you mean the tcon
