    Envision G218A1: Flickering Horizontal Lines

    I got this monitor which I've fixed the first time around by replacing the inverter/power supply with one I bought from Shopjimmy.

    After a couple of years of use, this monitor is experiencing some flicking horizontal lines (see photo gallery + Youtube video below). This monitor is actually fine right after turning it on after not being in use for a while. But after 5 minutes when the monitor warms up, the horizontal flickering will be apparent. And if I move the window in the monitor a certain position, the flickering will intensify/subside depending on where I move the window. This monitor has both a VGA and DVI connections. I tried both connections and I experience the flickering issue with both cables, so I am pretty sure this issue is with the monitor itself. Sometimes if I give the monitor a slap on the back, the flickering will go away for a while, but come back.

    Just wondering if anyone thinks this is fixable by replacing a couple of capacitor or I would have to replace the inverter/power supply board to repair this.

    I think you are lucky enough, i think is 90% an lvds cable connection problem, open the monitor, detach and reseat that and the problem go away, just to be sure clean it with alcool. Bye.

    P.S.: Already fixed one with at least same symptom.

      ACER BM320 Monitor - Horizonal Flickering Lines After a While
      by reessi
      Hello,

      The monitor started off showing flickering thin (1 pixel) lines horizontally every say 3mm..

      They are black on the right and gradually fade to nothing on the far left.
      They start either after 5 mins or up to 2 hours after so annoying for testing.
      They flicker continuously very fast! With a slight pause milli-second every second.

      Initially I cleaned the LVDS cable and connected to the T-Con and then it worked fine for 3 weeks but not sure if this was just co-incidence.

      I tested each half by removing the first the left flex from...

      HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
      by momaka
      Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

      Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34" - Horizontal lines
      by Kikerumbo
      Hello everyone,

      Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

      I have a Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34". A few weeks ago it started to show (or not showing) horizontal lines. Of course, it's outside of the warranty period.

      After some hours of reading and watching videos I disassembled the monitor and checked the ribbons that go from the TCON board to the panel PCB. If I disconnect the ribbon for the right side of the panel, the other half shows a perfect image. I ordered a "new" TCON, installed it and the issue persists so that tells me it must...

      Samsung UE70TU7100 - flickering horizontal lines
      by mrsith
      Hello again good souls.

      Got an UE70TU7100. The TV starts up just fine, but right hand side of the screen is horizontal striped a bit, and there are some flickering horizontal lines on the whole length of the screen. I've seen similar static horizontal lines sometimes, when applying the cut tape method and covering wrong number of pins.

      I've cleaned every connector with ipa, tried cut tape method on main LVDS ribbon as well as small ribbons, connecting the panel boards at the bottom. Tried squeezing the bezel and playing around COFs, but no reaction at all. COFs and...
