    MSI GTX 970 4G V316 1.1 Loads of lines across screen suspect memory??

    Recently purchased this MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G graphics card and card shows plenty of lines when booting up to bios and into Windows.
    What are your thoughts memory issue as I don't have that much experience repairing graphics cards?
    I have checked before plugging in card for shorts on the 12V power rails, PEX etc otherwise I wouldn't have plugged the card into the motherboard.
    The screen shuts down if I load the drivers on the card.

    Any thoughts with what is likely to be the issue? I suspect a faulty Samsung memory chip and if so would use MATS?
    Thank you

    Ok just ran Mats on it and found two banks showing errors FBIOB0 and FBIOB1. So I will investigate further. Looks like I will be removing memory and checking the memory controllers as well!​

      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...

      Lenovo P14s Gen 5 SVP unlock
      by Syseng
      This sums up discussion related to Lenovo P14s Gen5 in this thread. Credits go to Sbaro and especially Maxpower3. The locked dump is attached.

      The device is based on NM-F871 motherboard with Nuvoton NPCK397 series controller. The motherboard also contains three BIOS chips: two different Winbond chips for main BIOS and external EC flash, and also a Gigadevice chip which purpose I do not know. The password information is contained directly in controller and thus can be manipulated by reprogramming it, so reprogramming BIOS chips is technically not required, however you may wish to make...

      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...

      Samsung QE50Q67TAU - horizontal lines
      by Rubenlily
      Hello,

      First of all I'm new here. While looking I found this amazing forum and I'm very happy I did. Now for my problem:

      I picked up a Samsung UHD QLED QE50Q67TAU from 2021 for $50 knowing it was defective. The seller said it had black lines and that it could get stuck in boot randomly.

      I've tried a new power cable, hard reset, opening up and jiggling all cables, pressing everywhere to see if I get a reaction but I've gotten nothing. I've tried the tape method but I've only managed to get the lines worse.

      I'm no expert but I've done the tape...

      Sony XBR-65X750D Horizontal lines bottom of screen
      by ggil44
      Hi, I have a Sony XBR-65X750D that has horizontal lines at the bottom 6 inches of the screen. These lines appear to be every other line because the picture is still quite visible behind those lines. The lines appear all the time with a few other lines above and below the 6 inch level blinking on and off at about 2 second intervals. I'm not sure if this is a panel issue or power supply/main board problem. I did replace the T-Con board without any change in the problem. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
