Insignia NS-LCD32 TV Black screen with purple lines

[itek]

Hi everybody, I've got multiple posts going because I got a slew of stuff in from friends at once,,,, this one is an Insignia NS-LCD32 TV that turns on, but only shows a black screen with purple and pink lines. I was reading this has to do with the vertical ic connections and is not repairable, is there any hope for this thing or is it toast? I have only tested the power supply voltages and visually inspected caps and everything seems fine

PS I got the photos to attach!! Thanks

Probably LVDS cable connection, Tcon or tab bonding issue.

Do the lines stay like that constantly or vary? i.e. if the TV heats up the lines look different

OK so it stays that way with the 3 lines on black then turns off after awhile... If I tap on the screen while its on it flashes white glow for a split second and I can see there are more non-visable lines almost all the way across.
