    Gateway FPD2185W with vertical lines

    I haven't been around for a while but just got my hands on a non-functioning Gateway FPD2185W. The monitor was not turning on. I have swapped the power supply with one that I have already replaced the capacitors on and now the monitor works fine but I have two vertical lines that are showing up. Against the white background of the picture, the one on the left looks yellow green and the one on the right looks pinkish purple. The lines are each one pixel wide and go all the way from top to bottom of the screen.

      The usual suggestion is to try reseating the flex strip connecting the panel electronics to the glass panel. Use gentle pressure, don't try to pull itoff!!

          Panels don't have disconnectable connections to the line drivers ICs mounted on the flex wirings. The failure happened on one of IC driver section for that band down the panel. Say you have 8 vertical driver ICs (column), one of that 8 has bad connection either at tape-LCD bond joint or IC driver bond-flex strip. Not repairable.

          True for any LCDs even 55". Plasma panels does this as well only for triggering pixels to light up via column drivers ICs (all bonded) and connected to the disconnectable connectors. But the flex strip with ICs are all bonded and bonded to the panel's glass.

          Cheers, Wizard

              It has worked for me in the past (sometimes). Also, one time I disconnected the ribbon that goes from VBoard to Panel. It was kind of dirty. Cleaned, reinstalled, and voila! problem gone. Try it.

                  I can try to reseat but I don't think that will do anything for a single line of pixels but who knows.

                  I have another panel that is the same but cracked glass. I have been using for scrounging parts including CCFL which you guys previously helped me with. Is there a parts swap that I could consider to marry these two together?

                      Nop. The "glass" is the TFT screen attached to the panel's logic board by that infamous flex cable. I guess you have another parts donor.

                          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...

                          Sony KDL-40V3000 - Vertical lines
                          by gpo23
                          Hello,

                          i order a t-con because i had bad colors on my SONY KDL-40V3000 :




                          With the new t-con the color are good but there are vertical lines on all the screen :




                          I've tried the old t-con and it returned to the initial issue (bad colors but no vertical lines)

                          Is there a way to fix the vertical lines on the new t-con ?

                          Thank you for your help

                          Thanks for offering your assistance with this. I'm an electronics enthusiast with moderate level of competence (have a decent lab with two power supplies, microscope, DSO, hot air, good iron, can competently work at a component level on SMDs, design and solder own PCBs etc). I really enjoying fixing things and learning new stuff so took up a free 58" LED TV and have been googling and watching Youtube videos to see if I can fix this! I am happy to go down to individual component replacement/strip replacement etc - it's all in the name of learning.

                          The issues are as follows: the...

                          by viking509
                          I recently replaced the led backlights with LB65041 LED Backlight Strips and after putting it back together the backlights work but there are only colored vertical lines only in the center of the tv. I can see the Netflix logo (jumbled) after a minute or less the screen went dark. When I turned it on again the lines were back. Then I replaced the t-con board but the same vertical lines in the picture. My question is what is my next step? Could it be a source tab bond issue? A buffer board issue? Could I have loosened a connection to the panel when replacing the backlights? Should I replace the...

                          Vertical Lines on Half of LCD Display
                          by rfxcasey
                          I have an Siemens HMI with vertical lines on half of the screen. These lines aren't scrambled garbage but rather very regular in pattern and color. I have replaced the LCD with a new one and still the problem persists. I'm wondering if this isn't indicative of a bad video process chip or video memory? Any help would be appreciated. The cable appears to be OK but one pin on the header is unpopulated, though there isn't any loose wire to suggest one broke off or popped out of the connector. In the picture below where the connector is busted out of the side, I did that with my small screw driver...
