Thanks Paul. Even though it did not work on your Samsung in this video, your advice helped me on a 2 year old Hisense 55 inch TV that I picked up on facebook marketplace for free. I learnt from you how to disconnect the cables and I cleaned them with an alcohol swab. I put it back together and it works perfectly. The problem was the picture was displaying perfectly but would fade out after 5 minutes. Cleaning it and reattaching the cables fixed it. I am over the moon.

Thank you for the kind comment. I don't get many on this video. There is one other thing that you can try. Remove the back and you will see all around the outside edge of the panel something called a COF (Chips on film) it is a flexible circuit board that is glued to the panel which is how it makes its electrical connections. The glue has probably let go in one area. To find it turn the tv on and press the film all around the panel until the lines go away. This is the spot where the glue let go. You won't be able to re-glue it but if you put something non-conductive against it so it will always press that spot while the cover is on then it should complete the circuit and the lines will go away. I can't guarantee it will work but it doesn't cost anything to try. Hope this helps.

6:36 - Exactly what I said and how I said it when I realized I put together the second piece of my floating bookshelf the opposite direction after completion and mounting.

The TCON sends out timing for the panel over a limited number of lines for horizontal and vertical line data for the panel. There is a TAB panel PCB that takes this data from the TCon over two or four flexible cables and distributes it to a further 6 or maybe 8 serial to parallel chips mounted on the flexible plastic tabs between the Tab pcb and the panel itself. This is how a couple of lines becomes hundreds on the face of the screen. Several voltages are also delivered to the panel. The two important ones are a positive one driving the panel cell high with charge and the other is a negative voltage to suck the charge back out quickly. Any panel missing either voltage or both at proper values makes the image seem to ghost or some floating random shading effects. Any break or short in the serial data results in partial images, no image, vertical lines or sectional images. My 2c worth now. The problem looks to be occuring on either the connection from the tab pcb to the plastic tab, the actual chip that is on the plastic tab, the connection from the plastic tab to the panel or finally the thin film transistors made on the panel itself. Seems to me to look like a Tab to panel failure in the middle section. If you have seen this progressively get worse from a single line to multiples then the bond between the plastic tab and the panel has degraded. If they suddenly all appeared slightly then got more opaque, then look at the tab pcb resistors and capacitors in the middle section, one may have gone low or high in resistance. The fact that the fault is progressive as it goes down the screen seems to me to show the chip on the tab is not able to drive the charge in the vertical lines hard enough and there is leakage occuring across a couple of outputs. More than likely, the tab needs either rebonding or replacement. Both considered out of economic repair as rebonding takes a fairly expensive machine (lucky if one of those is near your location) and replacement means you'd have to buy the tab with it's chip from somewhere (knowing the right one to get as well as the same rebonding problem once you have it).

@saddle1940

5 жыл бұрын

Some people just press the tab harder onto either the PCB or the glass to see if pushing down on the bond improves the image. Commonly done in Sony's with packing under the metal frame, but not so much that it broke the glass. The bond is done with a special tape that when heated and squeezed, formed shorts vertically top to bottom in the tape, but not wide enough to short sideways between tracks. Pressing sometimes re-establishes the bond (momentarily).

Some panels are easy some are tedious... Easy ones have a ribbon connector on both the tcon AND the panel itself. If cleaning the ribbons doesn't help, the tcon might be bad. Only ever is the panel bad if it has had trauma. The hard TV's to fix are ones that have glued on ribbons on the panel. Those require a heat gun and firmly pressing the ribbons. It won't always work, and if it doesn't, consider soldering the ribbons instead of the original glue that's on them. Simply apply solder to the ribbons only, then align them to the panel, and heat gun it till the solder melts. Don't forget the flux!!!

Have the same issue but i discovered that the ribbon cable that connect matrix board on the lcd burnt out ...and I realy not sure if I can change that...

My lines where caused by spraying glass cleaner, directly on the screen, instead of applying to the cloth. The cleaner must be able to penetrate the seal. First time it happened, it was still under warranty and repaired with a new screen.Remembered to apply cleaner to cloth and no problems, until forgetting the last time I cleaned the screen, and now have the lines again, and out of warranty.

You drove my Google device crazy in your video.

try cleaning the connector from the T-con board to the panel.

Hello Paul, great content. Since it seems that you know your fair share on the subject Im going to ask you. I have a Samsung TV that displays lines a short time after being turned on. If I turn it off and wait some time, when I turn it on it takes like 40 minutes or so for the lines to appear, and once the lines are there they get worse over time. This lead me to believe that this is a temperature related issue with the TCon board. Should I replace it or do you think that it is something else. I know that it isn’t the panel since the line positions and patterns aren’t always the same and sometimes they appear and sometimes they don’t. Thank you for your time and quality content.

@PaulPomerleau

5 жыл бұрын

I agree that it seems to be a temperature problem but I don't think it is with the T-Con board. I would guess that it is with the adhesive around the perimeter of the screen. Your panel is a matrix with horizontal and vertical lines like a window screen. The circuit strips are glued to this around the edges at the back. When the lines are visible try pressing on the strips until they go away. That would be the place where the glue is letting go. This would be the first thing I would try. Good luck.

Paul Pomerleau thanks, Ill try that before buying a new tcon. There is a detail I skipped in my description which is that if I switch inputs from HDMI to cable/air, the lines are not visible in cable. It is when the lines have gotten worse for continuous use that they appear on every source and not just on HDMI.

Paul, try the solution of Video ID "oVnGjwxF3MM": on the other side of flat cable, on display connectors, install that thick foam tapes that will softly press them).

Bad panel you need to check the VGH and VGL signals and learn how to either tape up the signal to block the short in the panel or bypass the VGL from the drive board to the COF chips VGL with a insulated wire. Basically you got a short in the panel that needs connecting up. I got the same problem and bought a new T CON and the lines are still present. There's loads of tutorials on how to patch the panel up regarding those signals but it will mean removing the panel and doing some soldering.

One of the circuit touched the ground of the display. You have to unscrew the board touched the ground and put a spacer in between the board.

Turns out the flexible circuit board strip going around the panel have contacts that are glued in place. The glue came loose. You can't reglue them so I used a piece of plastic to wedge the circuit against the panel to keeps the contacts together and it works well. It is only a signal wire, no power so it is safe.

Tv's with a loud built in speakers has the potential to cause this kind of problem because of the vibrations, and LCD panels rely on a lot of contact points which is mostly secured by glue. I just avoid using built in speakers and isolate the speakers from the TV.

why would connectors that are still connected have dust in them?

I have a similar problem but I would have hoped by now Samsung would have posted a solution since many people are having similar problem. I have a TV repair shop and a background in electronics. An earlier post was spot on that the problem is either a high scan voltage or a low discharge voltage especially if the lines cover a range of tabs. There are adjustments that are possible for these voltages by changing the values for Ref resistors on the TCon board. You need a schematic for your particular model and don’t rule out the change in values for components of circuits shared across the problem coverage.

You will have to take the back off the TV. Then around the outside edge of the screen there is a flexable circuit strip that is glued onto the contacts of the screen. This has probably let go in the area of there the lines are. With th TV on, press around the outside edge near the lines and see if they go away. Once you find the area you may have to wedge something in there to keep it constantly pressed and then put the back on. It will be difficult to reglue the circuit strip so wedging it is probably the easier way to do it. Hope this helps.
