Just got a free Samsung 75 inch that had this issue and your fix worked for me 100%. Can't thank you enough, keep up the great videos.

Like many, I too am only coming back here to express my gratitude. I replaced a 60” LG plasma that served for 11 years with the model on this video, so when it stopped working after less than two years I was furious. THANK YOU for sharing the knowledge and making the steps in the video easy to follow. FYI: I only blocked traces 13-16 from left to right on the top ribbon and voila…like new again. The true fix is to buy LG from now on lol.

Omg you are a life saver. Our t.v went black and we followed your video step by step. It has a little grey or pink still on the end of it but we rather have that than a black screen. We are able to still watch our t.v. Until we get a new one. It was all about playing around with the tape size covering those little slits. You saved us 300 dollars to get it fixed, plus we never fixed a t.v. before. Thank you again

I just wanted to say thank you. I have that same model and that fix worked. I made the tape shorter and shorter.. I think I only have 2 or 3 pins covered and it is still working. I do see the color difference but it is way better than throwing it in the trash!! You are awesome and thank you again!!!

Great troubleshooting walkthrough, and many thanks. Had this issue with our samsung model QE50Q67TAUXXH. Seemed to be a metal part of the speaker unit that was touching something it shouldnt, and taped this off. Tv working perfectly again without having to tape off the cable.

Tv works good as new. Wish I could give you 2 thumbs up brother! Thank you

What I’ve realized is most of these Samsungs are Covid stimulus check TVs. I got one too with the same problem. Mine started cycling after a 1 second brown out. I found the short in the cable and now it’s on with sound, but still no picture. I’m going to watch some more videos to see if there’s something else that can be done but I’m afraid I’ll have to purchase another. It will never be another Samsung though. They should be ashamed of this issue. Edit: your video helped a lot! I got a picture now. Unfortunately, half the screen is a different purple hue. But, that’s the left side of the tv and the original issue was with the right half where I put the tape. That side looks excellent. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Guess I’m not quite done fiddling with it yet!

It worked. Thanks. Would just replacing the ribbon be a permanent fix

muchas gracias si me funciono en varios tv como dice el comentario se tapa el pin 13 al 21 y ya funciona

Thank you so much man. I will be trying this out. I do wonder could you not just get a replacement part?

You saved my tv! Thank you so much!

Thank you very much Johnson. I have fixed my TV and save money to get PS5

I have a 65nu6900 that has a grey screen. I remove one of the end lcd driver boards out of the circuit and i get proper 16.7V on the capacitors but still grey screens with no video. The tv sounds correct for the setup screen but cant coax an image out by covering pins on the ribbon. The lvds cables are very narrow, half the size as the ones in your video. I suspect one of the COF are bad as i see some subtle lines at one end of the panel. Not sure if i can coax an image outnof this one. Any thoughts before i start cutting traces?

Thank you for sharing this! It fixed our TV as well! We had to cover roughly the 12th or 13th pin skipped a pin cover 2 more roughly skip a pin and cover another to get our picture to have full color back and no lines. It's not completely perfect but very close. It is usable and way better than having to buy a new one.

I've just come across this exact same problem on a Samsung 55" TV. I went through the typical tests including taping off some of the lines on those ribbon cables and the TV would do as you have shown in this video. But, further testing (many hours of testing) showed that on the circuit board at the bottom of the screen (the one attached to the screen that runs the width of the screen) has some diode packs. One of these diode packs was getting hot. I removed the device from the circuit board and now the TV works fine. I found two shorts within the diode pack itself. Pins 1 and 10 were shorted and pins 5 and 6 were shorted. Without the schematics (and since I didn't want to try to reverse engineer it) I can only make assumptions on what these diode packs did. Since the TV works without it, I assume it's some sort of back EMF prevention as it also appears to be installed with reverse polarity. But I could be wrong about this. The part number on it is 4268H but I could not find any datasheet for it. It measures about 0.5mm x 2mm. So far, the TV is working without any apparent problems but only time will tell if missing this part will impact something else in the future. At the moment, I'm keeping an eye out for a similar TV for salvage to replace the part with. I hope to put out a video regarding this repair soon. But it's on a very long To-Do list.

I have same tv and same problem. What I did if your facing the back of the tv was remove the ribbon from the bottom left side of the panel that runs down from the bottom of the main board. Waited for the tv to light up and sound to come on. The tv stayed on then I plugged the bottom left ribbon back in WHALLA!!! FULL PICTURE FULL COLOR NO LINES. Downside- as soon as you turn tv back off and on again you have to remove cable and put back again. I'm going tontry your process next but trying to avoid loosing color or reducing the lifespan of the other processors if their working double time due to the tape method. (Do you think that is true? Reduced life span) My other idea is to get an extra 96pin ribbon and a double sided femal adaptor and hang both ribbons out of the bottom of the tv so I can easily access and remove the ribbon connection and plug back in after it boots back on.
