    LG 50PJ350 - Horizontal lines through panel

    Hey guys, I've got an LG 50PJ350 plasma here which has vertical lines running through the top of the screen. It is also experiencing power supply issues and fails to turn on sometimes (clicking noise, apparently a common issue and I have ordered a repair kit) however I would like to know what could be causing this issue before continuing to attempt repairs on this unit.

    Here's a picture, thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi,
    Looks to me a Y-buffer (1st upper) chip dead or tab bond problem.
    If it is the chip it may aloso explain the power-on problem.

      Reseat the top most Y-buffer cable. If that does not do it, you may be looking at a bad panel problem.

          Just an update here, opened it up and sure the top most y buffer ribbon cable wasn't properly secured. Still having issues turning on however I believe it's a power supply issue and a repair kit is on its way.
          Thanks very much for the help guys, much appreciated.

            TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
            by howardc64
            All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
            • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
            • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

            Samsung UE70TU7020K Which lines to tape on a bad panel
            by learnmore
            Hello Community,

            I'm working on a Samsung UE70TU7020K.

            It looks like a bad panel. There is only 1 FPC cable from the Tcon (built into mainboard) to the panel.

            I'm using a piece of tap a few mils (covers about 8-10 pins), at different locations and have had varying results but nothing that is remotely watchable (multiple lines across all the screen, half screen and total black out on screen). The buffer board is divided into 3 boards. I've disconnected the end board one at a time but each time the screen was totally black. I presume it's because the potential...

            Samsung UN46C8000XFXZA Horizontal lines
            by x_orange90_x
            I just acquired this 3D LED yesterday and it has horizontal lines on a little more than half of the screen. When I first turn it on it has thin black lines going across that makes the image look serrated, and then shortly after patterns of thicker red lines fade in. If I turn it off and right back on it will reset to just the black lines and the red will again fade onto the screen.

            I initially thought tab bonds, but flexing the bezel makes no difference, and the fact the image sort of resets after cycling power is different. I haven't opened it up yet to actually test applying...

            ASUS VA27EHE randomly unstable
            by Sharx112
            Hello community. I've got an ASUS VA27EHE with a Panda LC270lf1l01 panel that started to behave strangely. A bit of intro:
            If you power on the monitor without any inputs it turns on, displays the ASUS logo, shows no signal and goes into standby normally. When you plug it via HDMI sometimes and more recently, most of the times, it distorts the bios logo with horizontal lines, then when loading into windows 50-50 the windows emblem also is in horizontal lines. And after the system loads it almost always works properly, lol. On some rare occasions a part in the top of the monitor is being distorted...

            Samsung 55" UN55JS9000 - Pink vertical lines due to chipped LCD panel?
            by Anonmis
            Hello all, I was recently repairing my Samsung 55" UN55JS9000 tv from the common burnt backlight LED's and cracked light guide panel issue. After replacing the LED's and putting the TV back together, I tested the tv and all I was getting was sound but no image. Somewhere along the way (could be related to the next issue) the T-Con board became damaged and after replacing it I have made a little bit of progress but now have bright pink vertical lines and still no image.

            The bigger issue .... I took the TV apart again and realized that I likely didn't sit the LCD panel correctly...
