    Samsung LN32A330 dark ring around screen

    So I fixed the tcon board on this tv i found off craigslist, and now notice a dark ring around the screen.

    Im posting a pic of what it looks like. Its not bad, on white screen, but noticeable on darker screens. Is this an image burn-in, or a ccfl light getting ready to go? AKA is this going to get worse anytime soon, or just stay like this for a while?

    Also if it is an image burn-in problem, would running one of those burn-in screen fixing videos work?

    Or is this an inverter problem? Or is this even reparable?

    Thanks in advanced.

      Looks to be something to do with the diffuser....

          How would one go about changing one of those?
          Is that a replaceable part?

              It's a part of the LCD panel itself. Replaceable yes, but a huge pain in the rear.

              A working TV? How boring!

                  I have a 26 inch Sony with this problem, it's barely noticeable but of course I spotted it on dark scene and now see it easily. In all other respects the picture is perfect, and the effect is hard to see if you are in direct line of sight. I've concluded a diffuser problem as well. But where can you obtain these other than from a scrap panel?

                  By the way the panel in my Sony is manufactured by AU Optronics, I wonder if this is a common problem, I know Samsung (and others) use various panels in small to medium screen models.

                  I'm reluctant to strip mine down on this occasion since it's really not that bad.

                      Dang....ok so next question. Is this going to get worse until i have no picture at all, or is this the extent of it?

                          I can't see the damn thing! However it may be that the diffuser has come loose from whatever means they use to secure itin place and is scattering light unevenly. My guess would be you could just resecure it but getting to the thing is the hardest part of course.

                              Oh I see it now - around the edge of the panel. I'm sure if you tore it down you would see what was causing it. Good luck.

                                  Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
                                  I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

                                  Hi , I've recently replaced the screen in my Samsung galaxy ao2s, at first it wouldn't even turn on, it had the charging symbol on the screen when plugged in but the green circle wasn't going around to show it charging....
                                  Ive eventually managed to get it on and working but it's very temperamental...

                                  The battery icon always reads as 50% , when the phone goes into lock screen mode i sometimes can't get the screen back on unless I plug the charger in to get it to light up, also it keeps putting the camera app on.. u think it could be something to do with the side buttons. ...

                                  Samsung LH82QENELGC/EN Help needed - Static line on screen
                                  by Kiberge
                                  HI guys!

                                  I've got a Samsung LH82QENELGC/EN with a problem and need some advice and I hope this is the forum to use?
                                  I'm from Norway so I'd like to apology in advance if my description of the fault is kind of simple or the names on the components are way off. 😊

                                  the TV is powering up, working as normally and picture is all good, except a 1.5-inch-wide vertical line of snow/static across the screen.


                                  This TV is a Signage Display/Public Display version and it's been used at my work for 4-5 years showing commercials 24/7. The fault occurred when...

                                  Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
                                  by Ryan.man
                                  Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                                  My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                                  This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                                  Samsung UN50NU7400 - No Picture (but boot screen and screensaver)
                                  by arbitarytwist
                                  Have a Samsung UN50NU7400 which shows a boot screen and a screen saver if left on long enough but no picture ?

                                  Would a moving screen saver confirm that the panel is ok or it could still be a panel issue ?
