This is a great forum which I have used in the past to help me fix a capacitor issue with this same TV. I had to replace a couple of them to fix the power up issue that is so common with these 4-5 year old Samsung LCD's.
It has been working fine since my first fix but recently it has developed a couple funky lines. One that is about 5 pixels wide and goes up from the bottom left side to about the middle of the screen and the other is 1 pixel wide right next to it.
I am trying to narrow down what it could be? It sounds like based on others with the same issue it's the t-con card or maybe the Lcd panel?
I was hoping someone could assist me in troubleshooting before I buy any parts?
What I tried so far and some possible clues below:
1. I tried hooking up a laptop and put on a YouTube video that flashes a bunch of random colors fast. When I did that it made the lines go away when certain colors were displayed but did nothing for the overall issue.
2. It does not matter what input it's on or if I am in the tv menu the lines are always there.
3. One thing I think that's interesting is even with the tv off and the power cord removed I can see where the lines are on the black screen. In that same spot where the lines are it's a darker color almost like that area is dead?
4. And of course I beat the tv a bit but that did not do anything but make me look like a fool when my wife walked in.
I can post some pics if it helps. Just hoping someone can lead me in the right direction with this. I feel like I have symptoms that could be multiple things?
