I have a 3 year old SAMSUNG 40" LCD TV (LN40D610M4FXZA).
Last week, observed 75% of screen with horizontal while lines and 25% with good picture. I thought that cleaning the LVDS cable edge would solve the problem.
After Cleaning the LVDS cable, There is no picture at all. I see back light is on, SOUND is OK. Can play video files using USB source(no video just the sound is audible).
I thought of seeking a technician and called SEARS home services, technician over the phone suggested me that 100% is chance of BAD PANEL and not worth fixing it. I asked him to visit and diagnose the problem. He diagnosed and told that it is possible T-CON board. He ordered OEM T-CON board ($87) and couple of days later when he replaced the T-CON Board, the problem is still out there. He told me that it is a BAD PANEL and refunded the amount for T-CON board.
I still believe the TV can be restored to its working state.
Please suggest and share your expertise to troubleshoot the problem.
