    LG 50PG20 plasma thin line going across screen

    I have a LG 50PG20 tv, I just replaced the power supply board and got tv to turn on, but now there is a very thin (about 1/16") going across tv screen. Any ideas on what this is and how to fix it?

    Did you happen to take the ribbon cables off the buffer boards? Maybe try reseating the offending cable.
    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

      yes I removed all ribbon cables from power supply board. That could have an issue with one thin line across tv???

        No I meant the ribbons that go into the panel directly. They are copper colored. On the far left.
        Did I leave the soldering iron on?

            Is the line going from left to right or top to bottom?

                It could be a bad plasma panel. There is a small chance it is a Y-buffer fault but that is very rare.

                      Most likely it will not be fixable.

                          LG 50PG20-ua Plasma TV repair help
                          by Ted29946
                          I'm new to this so I hope I'm doing it right So....I picked up a LG 50PG20-ua Plasma TV (Someone's throwaway pickup) First power up no picture or sound

                          Found power board to be bad and I repaired it. (Bad caps) Now all power volt readings are good. Still no picture or sound. I plugged in power cord, no click and the standby light on the on/off button comes on blue as soon as it is plugged in and does not turn off when button is push. I then pulled the main board off to look at it better and the initial inspection (front and back) I cannot see anything bad. Before I put the board back

                          2014 LG 60" Plasma shut down just clicking unless I disconnect 17V line to main CPU

                          LG 60PB66550 NOV 2014
                          PSU: EAY63168603
                          PCB: EAX65359531 2013.11.01 Rev:1.0

                          Main board: EAX65399305(1.0) 13.11.27 PU42A/PA42A/PD42A

                          Symptom:
                          While watching, just went black and started clicking relay every few seconds.

                          Initial diagnosis:
                          Removing JUST the main CPU/Input PCB from circuit stops the clicking. No problems with any other boards/drivers. (Removing all other boards and only putting Main back in is all it takes to start clicking again)

                          Deeper diagnosis:
                          Pulling pins #1/#2 (Blue/Grey) from the connector housing...

                          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...

                          LG 50PG10 Plasma Vertical Line
                          by canadaboy25
                          Hey guys, I'm being offered an LG 50PG10 plasma with a vertical line running down the screen.

                          Apparently, if you give the TV a good smack on the frame above the line, it will go away for a while.

                          Does this sound like a bad solder joint or loose ribbon cable? Or a bad panel? If it's not likely to be a bad panel I will likely pick it up.

                          What do you guys think?

                          Thanks...

                          Vizio E701i-A3 fixed but now has red vertical line
                          by otaku_nut
                          Hi all, I tried searching the site for answers but I'm a bit over my head understanding some of what might apply and what doesn't, so please be patient with me. I used Freakaftr8's fix to remove the left driver board to restore picture to a black screen with sound Vizio E701i-A3. After doing so, I now have a large red vertical stripe down the center of the screen. The fix did require getting another t-con board from online, I ordered it before I knew about the mosfit fix for the old t-con board. I have tried cleaning the cable connections to the t-con board. I swapped the cables going from...
