    Dell G2210t lines on screen distorted text is it a bad screen?

    Have this Dell G2210t that I can't figure out. Has a LED backlit screen.

    It starts up with lots of vertical lines, and returns to that when coming back from sleep mode.

    I changed almost all the caps for nice Panasonic FR's. Even though none looked bad, they were Suscons, so I changed all but the tiniest ones.

    The power is good, and after a while, the screen brightens up, the vertical lines kind of go away, but there are fine horizontal lines that stay, sort of looking like corduroy pants. The text remains hard to read, like it isn't all there.

    It did pop briefly for a second into full good once, but just for a couple seconds and was gone, did not return.

    I always see people ask in trying to find some answers in the forum, if the menu is clear or affected the same way; it is affected the same way.

    So, I am posting pics that I hope show these issues, and I am wondering if anyone has expertise with this model and/or this issue; do I have a bad screen or might it be something else?

    If a bad screen panel, I haven't seen them for sale except for ridiculous prices, so it's basically a parts model now.

    The screen panel is: LG, LM220WE5 (TL) (A1)

    I can submit pics of the boards as well if needed. There are no obvious flaws.

    Anyone help?

      Nice pictures. That helps a lot. It looks to me like a bad T-Con board. I think your lcd panel is fine. It might be the main board, but the picture looks pretty good. Then the data gets scrambled a little in the T-Con board, on the way to the lcd panel (I believe). Try reseating the T-Con ribbons and see if that fixes it. If not, please post pictures of your main board and the T-Con board.
      I'm attaching 3 pics of the symptoms of a bad T-Con board from 2 Dell 2408WFP's. You can compare.

          Sorry it's been so long since I've revisited this topic.

          It sure looks like the bad T-con board as you have described.

          However, pardon my ignorance, but I thought the t-con board was only in TV's? I have to pull this back out of the box in the garage and take apart again, but there were three boards in it, a main board, PS board, and a real small board labeled as the inverter board, seems to mostly be a couple transformers on it.

          Which board is it? Or, is it the board on the back of the lcd panel all covered up?

          I would like to just get a used board for it if I can find it reasonable enough to make fixing this worthwhile.

          Thanks!

              Probably bad LCD panel: tab bonds issue is possible. The t-con is not a replaceable item (it will be bonded to the LCD glass most likely.)

                  Dell G3 15 3500 - Battery bug (black screen and flashing keyboard backlight)
                  by HTR-Informatique
                  Hello,

                  YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

                  I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

                  On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

                  I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

                  I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

                  I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

                  Screen Display Vertical Multicolor Lines
                  by Stanley1843
                  Hello, I have a screen in where sometimes when I open it pop-up vertical multicolor lines (I would say the most of them are green). If I tun off and turn on the screen the lines dissapear or if I leave open the screen after approximately five minutes the lines gone. I measured the below voltages on the main PCB and on the T-CON board and the voltages are the same when it doesn’t display the vertical lines and when it displays the vertical lines. Also, I cleaned all the connectors very good with IPA. I moved back and forth the connectors and the COF tabs but the vertical lines didn't displayed...

                  Hello
                  I have search everywhere for a solution for my problem, but cant find it anywhere.

                  When I was away to trow some garbage i always look in the electronic bin.
                  and this time i find a laptop.
                  Dell G3 15 3500, when I get home i look at the battery, add one harddrive, plug in the powercord.
                  the lamp for charmig is white.

                  Tryed to start it, the screen blink for a second, the keyboard lightsup, the fans and HD starts.
                  but no Dell logo.
                  I tryed with a hdmi cable to another screen, still black.

                  Samsung QN50Q60t lines on screen
                  by jeyoung12
                  Hi all
                  I have lines on the screen...which is an age old problem that can be remedied by watching Youtube videos and getting out the tape.
                  My issue (after successfully fixing a different sammy tv with a separate tcon board and isolating the side of the panel...):

                  This tv has an integrated tcon...so it is a bit more confusing when trying to isolate the clocks.
                  It has a c ribbon and i have taken each end out to see if that will isolate the lines. instead, it makes it much worse ALL over the tv!

                  So....i don't know what end of the C ribbon to work with...

                  good morning all,

                  i purchased a used dell e6540 laptop used 10 months ago from a vendor on ebay. intel i-7 processor, 16 gb ddr3 memory, 256 gb ssd., mobo la-9413p (rev 1.0 dated 2014-08-04). i've inflicted no damage on it since purchase but its past is unknown. starting 2 weeks ago it began to fail to boot (initially 9 of 10 boot attempts failed, now 10 of 10 fail). there was no new hardware or software added (i was using as a kodi video server). the post process doesn't complete and booting no longer displays the dell logo screen - screen remains black with no backlight. some other...
