Wow, never expected it can be repaired by taping the contacts. So contraintuitive, but worked as a charm =) Thank you from end of 2023!!

Just had to do this to my TV. Thank you so much for posting this video. 5 years later and it’s still helping people.

Absolutely worked a treat. We have the 46" model, and the problem was the horizontal 'shadow lines' and also a few rows of dead black pixels. When playing with the ribbons, I found that unplugging the left ribbon (right when repairing) resolved the issue on the other side of the screen. I tested with a 2mm wide piece of tape moving over different pins, and found that some of the pins about 2/3rds the way along solved the issue completely. Can't thank you enough!

Mr Dave, please receive my deep respect and gratitude for your advice!! I, the weakest technician from the world i just fix it my Samsung LCD 32 inch TV!! I've just take it back today from an expert that told me that the panel is gone and I must to replace it... Many, many THANKS!!! Your rock!!

Thank you for this video found a 55' Samsung from 2010 on the side of the road. It had this problem, got the image almost perfect and now I got myself a bigger and better tv for free :)

I just fixed my TV! Thank you, you are great! Never thought this method could work, it seems so random until it works...

Thanks for the video Dave! Hubby watched and followed your instructions exactly. Took him about 20 minutes from disassemble to reassemble. So far picture looks good as new. So glad we don't have to buy a new tv. Thanks again!

holy shit..it took the second try but holy shit..I've been having it like this for 5+ years now...the top half of the screen had a double image and pictures would look weird....and its just an immense breath of fresh air...its so clear..thank you so much...I really appreciate this....

Cannot believe that this fixed our double-picture problem!! Thank you so much.

Well, I was very sceptical when I saw the video that a small piece of tape could fix the double image on my LG tv. I just gave it a try and it worked right away. Thank you very much.

Dave, you are not only a genius, but also a gentleman, a scholar, and a huge dollar saver. I walked into my house tonight after a long week at work, and my wife says "Not good, something is wrong with the TV". And it was the dreaded double screen that I had never heard of before. After following your video, it is working great. I could not get the UN40D6000 to power on during the repair, and rolled the dice with a comment about covering 16 pins with the tape. Put her all back together, and she is working great. Just in time for Ole Miss football tomorrow. Many many thanks.

Thanks alot Dave for the video. My TCL TV had an issue with double pictures. Your video helped me diagnose the problem and fix it myself, saving me $800 for purchasing a new TV. Thanks a million.

Thanx very much for this video. Just bought a Samsung LE40A558 model lcd tv on the flea market here in the UK for 40 pounds that had bad vertical and horizontal lines and double image. I guess you can imagine the picture what it looked like. Using your method loosening up the left side ribbon (facing the screen) and just re-seating it fixed it. I didn't use the tape, but just undid the clip holding the ribbon, pulled it out and while watching the screen started to play with and voila, the screen became clear and line and double image free. Good Job. Hope it'll help others as well.

ALRIGHT John Benak that's what I'm talking! Thank you for posting.

brilliant, just fixed a tv with this video, picture is now looking perfect after a bit of trial and error with the tape, i taped about 5mm wide close to left edge but still had some contacts showing. What i don't understand is how this works, i would have thought taping over contacts would make the picture worse, so a bit baffling how taping over contacts makes it better, but hey it worked!

Works on Vizio 4k flat panels too! My 5-6 year old panel was glitching with multiple images doubling. I had to tape the other cable than what you worked on but it did the trick! You saved me $400 to get a new TV!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

It worked!! I am so amazed. We contacted several TV repair people and it was not looking good. Thank you for your easy instructions.

Just checked this video out, having ghosting problems on my LG 3D smart tv. I have to say im impressed because it worked. My TV model 42LM640T-ZA. Great video.

After an hour I got it aswell, but for me it was the right cable and I needed to place three layers of three millimeters wide pieces of office tape underneath and not on top, I pushed it down and lifted it and realized it must be the contacts on the most left or most right, the and connectors are mirrored. Thanks again 👍

I have a 2 year old SEIKI LC-46G68. It experienced the same double image problem described for the Samsung. After watching the Samsung Double Image, Black Lines video I attempted the repair on my SEIKI. Access to the ribbon cables was much simpler than for the Samsung and the repair was completed. Now I once again have a perfect picture instead of having to replace the TV. Thank you for posting this video and I hope other SEIKI owners will be able to repair their's as well.

This happened to my 55" SAMSUNG LED last saturday and was too afraid to open up the back and do this so I instead took it to 2 different tv repair companies which they BOTH said my panel went bad. Both said it's cheaper to buy a new TV than to replace the panel. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO.... after buying a new TV and looking at the 5 year old Samsung that supposedly had a bad panel, I decided to go ahead and try your fix.... AND IT WORKED!!!!! Got the screen back to the way it originally came. THANK YOU AGAIN - who would have thought that a piece of tape would do the trick and it wasn't THAT scary to do it myself.

Dear Dave, Thanks so much for your video, it really worked for me and I can't thank you enough! A month ago a neighbour had put a Samsung LA40550K7M out for rubbish collection. I took it home, plugged it in and only found that it had two thin horizontal lines around the middle of the screen, everything else was working fine. I looked for a couple of days on the net and couldn't anything that was helpful apart from buying a new or second hand T Con card and hoping for the best. In my heart I knew this was something of a connector issue but couldn't put my finger on it. One day i pulled the tv apart and had tried to to reinsert the ribbon cables and the like but to no avail. It was only after i put it back together and actually left the screen on for an hour and saw what the neighbour had seen to throw it out. The top half of the screen developed a double image after warming up making it virtually impossible to watch anything and thats how I found your youtube clip. At first i tried the left hand side(from the back of the screen) and found no improvement, only made it worse after mucking around with differing widths and positions of the tape, but when I pulled out the cable from the right hand side and half the picture went, the problem horizontal lines went too. I then knew that this side had the fault. I started on the left hand side of the cable but it was only until i got the the right hand end that i made the breakthrough. My sticky tape piece covered only about 8 segments and from about 2/3rds from the left hand side of the right ribbon and with a little experimentation the issue is now completely solved. Got myself a nice free LCD screen now.Cheers :)

Woooow... So I found this Samsung TV in the dumpster at my apartment and it had the double image problem. As an electronics hardware technician I have no idea how covering up contacts will fix the image... But sure as shit it does, first try too!! Thanks man!!

Thanks to Dave for posting this fix. Very detailed and clear enough to follow. Unfortunately, when I tried it on my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV made in 2009, it did NOT solve the problem. My set failed exactly 1 month after the extended warranty expired in late 2013. I lived with it as it got worse for about 9 months then bought another TV. Apparently, this horizontal line problem is endemic to many Samsung TVs and pervades ribbon connections in their other appliances as well and it's been going on for YEARS. There really should be a mass recall and repair/replacement since this has effected MILLIONS of buyers. A $1200 TV should last more than 4 years. I will NEVER BUY SAMSUNG again.

It's just too small a percentage for them to care. But thanks to people like Dave, I got rid of the double image but not able to fix the lines. At least my $1200 TV is somewhat watchable for now. I'll keep praying that maybe just maybe the lines will go away at some point.

What the tape does is to give the ribbon some tightness in order for stability. There is better connectivity when the tape is inserted. After a while the ribbon cable gets a little worn and so a little servicing becomes necessary. Hope this gives you some sort of clarity.

The only logical thing I can see about this FIX method is the capacitance effect of the tape. It is doing the job of some bad SMD ceramic capacitors on the LCD boards.

@possiblydavid

I belive this works because the connections are redundant. I also think the connections which are disconnected by the tape were faulty due to the solder connecting the connector to the pc board breaking loose.

I don't know for a fact. Companies make products based on supply and demand. If a product sells well and everone is buying than the demand is up. However once everyone buys one the and has no need the buy another one of that product than the demand goes down. If a company wants to keep the demand high to sell more products then people will need to keep buying those products. If a device is purchased more than once by a consumer before the life expectancy of that product than the company makes more revenue then if a consumer only 'needs' to buy the product one time. In my opinion I wouldn't put it past a company to design a device to fail at a certain point so that same device would be purchased again before it become obsolete.

Hi Dave, I have a Samsung LED 40inch (UE32C5700) and all of a sudden this problem started 3 days ago. I called in the Samsung engineer and was given a hefty quote to replace the screen + service charges. The technician himself recommended me to buy a new one which will be cheaper than the repair cost. I looked up KZread and found your video. To be frank, initially I was a little skeptic on how sticking a tape would work. But, I am no electronics guy and thought to give it a try. I followed your video religiously (right to the being gentle part and delicate fingers :-)) and was able to fix the issue in the first try. Thanks a ton for your easily understandable step-by-step procedure, I did not even feel that I was repairing a costly electronic product. The only issue is that I am now seeing a line between the 2 halves of the screen, it is very light but noticeable in channels/programs where the lighting is bright and has enough contrast and colors. I gather from comments that I need to play around with the width of the tape and the positioning of it. Is that correct? If so, I will try it some other Sunday and try to get this fully right. Thanks again, and anyone else having the problem and reading this, don't doubt or hesitate - go ahead and try it out with this video. It is super easy - you just need to be patient, methodical and delicate as Dave instructs multiple times.

+Kelly Whiting You go! Im glad you found this video helpful. I am assuming that even if a repair tech knows that the steps in this video will work they would not sell someone on this type of repair. Think if they did fix a tv with the tape than they would be fixing something with a piece of tape and how can they explain that as a professional result. Also they really wouldn't be able to offer a warranty with that. So the only professional way to do it would be to replace the panel. From what I've gathered the reason for the issue in the first place is that static electricity builds up where the ribbon cable makes contact in the slot and as a result displays a double image on the screen. By placing a clear piece of tape between the connections it does not allow for any static electricity to be stored there anymore thus eliminating the issue. Thank you for watching.

Man, this is such a good video. I wasn´t able to find the T Con in my tv , BUT I got the explanation from this vid, very clear and simple and I now know what the problem is for sure. Thank you so much for sharing this information.

I have never wrote any comment on every video except this! I had repaired my LG TV 49 uh7700 with the amazing tape!!!!!!!!!! Its unbelievable that i had watched this video. Trus me, its really 100000000000% works So crazyyyyyyttttt

Wow still can't believe it worked, did it this morning only took me about 30mins, on my qled Q7 Samsung curved screen. My t.v is a bigger so took longer to take apart the T.V!!! Thank you very much man! You saved me alot of money!😘

I Can't believe it, Bloody brilliant fix! I have a Samsung UE40D6530 purchased in 2011 with ghosting issues. Your fix worked a treat, I was quite dubious at first after watching the video, I didn't understand, how you decided which ribbon to adjust or how the tape affected the picture (I still don't understand how the tape stops the Ghosting?) I did some research on LED TV's and LVDS cables and after reading all the comments to your video I was convinced it would work. Hint; If you have my model TV, you do need to reconnect the surround panel to operate the buttons at the back or the remote control to test your picture, be careful and take your time, all in all it took me and my retired electrician neighbour 1 1/2 hours. Thanks Dave for a brilliant fix.

Update, looks like i'll have to reposition the tape since 1 panel is slightly darker than the other but shit this is still 10x more watchable than before, ty!

cawzzzz I'm glad this video was helpful. Thank you for watching.

This worked for me!!!! Thank you!!! Would have thrown out the tv If this didn't work. Now it's like new again.

Unbelievable but this solution actually worked for our 55” 2009 Samsung LED. I was really bummed that we’d have to pay $800 for a replacement, after spending $2500 on this one originally. Double image was corrected, picture is back to perfect. I am not particularly handy, certainly not with technology, yet this fix was really pretty easy. Key was having the tape cover only a part of the gold on the backside of the ribbon. Thanks Dave!!!

Thank you for watching Ethan Ardonlino. I'm glad you found this video helpful.

DUDE!!! You're a genius!!! works perfectly on my Samsung UHD 43inch tv! you just have to be patient on the size of the tape! Thanks a lot! you got your self a new subscriber!

THIS WORKED - I have a Samsung UN55B60000 that suddenly started displaying the 'double image' issue - I did a lot of searching, and found this video - I am not sure why, but this worked! To get the double image off, I placed about a 2-3 mm piece of tape over the gold contacts (it ended up being 4-5 contacts) 2 contacts in from the left. No double image! BUT, one side was darker than the other. When I inspected the cable, I found there was some corrosion on the gold tips - probably due to being gold plated. I tried to clean these with an eraser/swap clean with q-tip, but the corrosion was still there - I put a strip of tape across the gold connections, and when I removed it, clean. Once I replaced the cable, my video was clear and there was no discernable brightness difference. Saved me a couple of thousand dollars, though I kind of had my heart set on the 85" as a replacement ;) The entire process, from taking the TV off its mount, to replacing it, took about 45 minutes. Actual 'fix' time was about 10 minutes ;)

i am from Romania. I have same Samsung model and same problem. I try this and Works.Thank you. Is cool :)

Thanks Dave. You have saved a lot of money for a lot of people. I was able to get rid of the double (ghost) image but as soon as I press on the tab, the black lines would come on. And I must have tried like a thousand times and spent two hours doing it but couldn't get rid of the black lines. So I made an improvisation. I took a long tape, stick one end to ribbon and another end towards the center of TV creating enough tension to keep the ribbon in place in the slot. Then I used a toothpick to adjust the tension and left the toothpick in place where I was getting the best picture. Though the lines are not completely gone, they became very light. Some other day when I have more time I will try to get rid of them completely. Thank you again and god bless you.

BTW i have Samsung LED 32inch 3D Tv. Bought it in 2012. Problem of ghost imaging.

Hi Dave..My name is vamsee krishna from Bangalore,India.First of all thank you so much for publishing this video..Mine is samsung LED TV model UA46d5500RRXXT purchased in 2012 in Bangkok.I raised complaint with samsung when i faced this issue on 27 October and their service engineer visited my home on 28 October and he looked and said the panel is gone and had to be replaced with new one which will cost 45,000 INR.I purchased the TV for 50,000 INR.I showed with local LED Tv Repair shop on 28 October and they said it will cost 35k - 40k to repair the TV.I decided to buy a new TV then i saw this video.I thought why not give a try the same which you showed in this video.If it works then i am happy or i am gonna buy new one.I followed the same and a small piece of tape fixed the issue in one shot. THANK YOU SO MUCH DAVE.....

Yeah! I m glad you found this video helpful. Thank you for watching and sharing you success.

YOU ARE A GENIUS! Thank you sooo much for this smart tutorial! I fixed a my Samsung at the 2nd trial! It took me 10 minutes! Brilliant!

This worked well. One thing that was odd - when adjusting the ribbon to get rid of the light vertical lines, sometimes the entire screen would go black, and we'd have to start again. Still, the entire fix, from taking it down off the mounting bracket, to making the repair, and reconnecting it back to the mounting bracket was an hour. And scotch tape is a lot less expensive than a new TV! Thanks for posting!

I didn't have the double image but I did have the weird horizontal lines. Your fix worked for me. Thanks man, you just added some life back to my tv.

It makes absolutely no sense that this works, but it did. you are my personal hero

Amazing mate! My neighbours threw out a 60 inch hisense tv, I grabbed it and did this and now it's as good as new!! Took a fair bit of trial and error but worked amazing! Ledgend, thanks!

HuntForThe SilverShadow awesome find! Thanks for sharing.

used paper bec. didn't have tape at the moment and IT WORKED!!! and then i opened the tv's back again to change the paper with tape. saw an electric spark at the connector's contact and....yeah...i pretty much fixed it and then fried it. but still...IT WORKED!!! before i ruined the tv...many thanks though. god bless.

i found hard time to locate the right place for thr tape, and avantionaly i found it and was so happy not to buy new tv now, and it worked like magic, i don't know how you know this stuff, but amazing result's. thank you very much for the time to do this video and helping so many people including me.

Thanks, bro. You helped me save ₹5000/- bucks. Actually these TV companies must direct their clients to solve such minor problems that don't actually cost that much that they charge by changing certain panels. Repairing is a must in these hard economic times. Thanks again, keep it up.

Thanks man. I found a 55" Samsung in the dumpster at my work that had the double image. I had to move the tape around quite a few times, but it worked. Free T.V.!!!!!!!!!!
