    Trying to Save - Samsung UN55JS6500 - A line down the screen + Falling LED diffusers

    Picked this one up today.
    In addition to falling LED diffusers there is a single line here that maybe a deal breaker.
    From my reading on these boards it is said that the issue is likely a sign of failed tab drivers, ribbons or tab bonding to the panel.
    Wanted to get a 2nd opinion from you guys before I gave up the ghost.
    Great looking TV otherwise.

    Is there any tricks I can do to try to save this one?
    If so, i'll gladly order a set of backlights and save this one from the landfill..

    Thanks in advance

    Trash most likely. You can try putting pressure on the tab when tv is on and see if it goes away, if so you may be able to tape it down.. hasn't worked for me yet

      I'll give it a shot tonight.
      The previous owner said she didnt even notice it until someone pointed it out.

        I hear this all the time, the person never noticed. I really wonder if they are just that out of present time, or just can't resist lying.

          Is there any spot in particular i should try to press on the panel board?
          Should i be focussing on the actual COF or the film section that is bonded to the board or on the other side (to the actual display)?
          The i made a blue line at the spot where the line shows up on the display.

            Both sides. And everywhere I guess. Both sides. I've seen it work in videos but have not been able to reproduce. And yes where they meet the board/screen.

              Nomoresonys pointed this idea out on another TV I was working on recently...


              This video i found online gives an even better explanation of what's going on and how to possibly go about fixing it.

              I'll take another look tonight to see if I can find anything.

                So i had another look tonight.
                Felt up these COFs more than Ive felt up my wife in years and didnt see any difference in the line.
                The tab bonds on both the driver boards as well as the panel look very good.
                No corrosion or tears or anything.
                Is there a way to test the COFs themselves?
                Other than that i may have a short of some sort somewhere... possibly inside the panel.
                The COFs are warm to the touch. Some are hotter than others.

                This would be a perfect candidate to cut traces to eliminate a short if indeed there is a short somewhere.
                I will likely discard this unit as the cost of a new set of backlights plus the unsightly line which would remain makes it not worth trying to give this to someone.
                But if I can somehow eliminate the line then I wouldn't mind with a new set of LED backlights.

                So where do I start identifying if a short exists? I see a good number of videos on the topic but they are mostly in Hindi or Bangla and there are no subtitles.

                    Hate to admit it but I think you are right...

                    not equiped to do something like that.

                    i saw a similar video....

                        don't ask me why, i know you believe is panel fault, but just try and pray..

                        you can also try an half reflow, to start with for diagnosing purpose.. believe me

                          My apologies but i already stripped the TV of its components. I have never been any good with with reflowing bad joints on BGAs either....

                            Samsung UN50TU8000FXZC shows thin horizontal green line when warm
                            by cubytus
                            Hi to all,

                            I was given this TV, an entry-level 4K 50" set. Some have criticized its lack of contrast and relatively poor colour rendering, but for my needs, it's very decent.

                            I reset everything to factory settings, but this line keeps on fading in and out when watching a streaming channel from the Tizen firmware. Interestingly, it only happens when TV is warm, after about 1h45 of it being turned on.

                            Watching a movie from an external source doesn't trigger the line as easily (needs 2 hours), and from a normal viewing distance, is hardly noticeable. It...

                            Problem

                            This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                            Kogan - KALED65XU9220STB - Blue Vertical Line
                            by TrueSword88
                            Hi all.

                            I have a Kogan 65' LCD Panel with a thin blue vertical line (top to bottom) on left hand side of panel.
                            The line just happens to coincide with the end of COF and start of the next COF (attached).

                            The line is permanent no matter what I've tried. I've tried pressure testing the panel (top to bottom) and all over, I didn't notice any difference with the line, either temporary or semi-permanent.

                            Also tried unplugging all flex cables, cleaned with isopropyl then re-inserting to no avail - line remains.


                            Hoping to fix...

                            Running Line Voltage and Integrating LED Pods - Automotive
                            by FALKLAN
                            Howdy everyone! I hope all is well where ever you are!

                            I'm attempting to integrate a couple of LED pods into an automotive reverse lamp circuit. The problem being, while the vehicle is running there is a 8.5v current present on the reverse lamp power wire. Needless to say is that all LED pods and lights dimly illuminate while the 8.5v is present, so the LEDs are always powered on while the vehicle is running. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the voltage changes to 12 volts.

                            I am uncertain how to convert this line into a switched 12v output line for the LED pods....

                            by mindoverflow
                            hello,

                            there is an asus gtx1650 which displays fine in windows but if i run a benchmark test it displays artifacts and the driver crashes after a second or two.

                            I changed pads and thermal paste.

                            I run mats test but it is reporting 0 errors.

                            I then tried to run the mods version 400.271_1650 test, it first ran and stopped with a 'breakpoints limit reached after 5 retries' error and the fans went full speed.

                            After a reboot, I tried to run the test again, but now the test fails and says "ERROR: Couldn't clear GPU's interrupt...
