    LG 32LN530B Picture Issues

    Hi everyone - new member here with an LG 32LN530B that's acting up. Last week I noticed a vertical line down the middle of the screen and the left side of the picture looked worse than the right. Still had sound and remote works. Over the course of an hour the picture gradually went away, to a gray screen with backlight and sound.

    Reading the trouble shooting guide, I thought that sounded like the tcon board. I ordered a replacement from shopjimmy.com and put it in. Now, when first powered on, the screen flashes with white/gray (line still in the middle) and then after about a minute I get a somewhat clear picture there is still a line down the middle and the left side of the screen still looks bad (see pic).

    I've tried different hdmi inputs and sources - no change. After reading through the trouble shooting guide here I'm wondering if the logic board isn't giving the tcon 5v but I'm hesitant to throw any more money at the tv. The tv is only 13 months old (one month out of warranty). Any suggestions on how to proceed? I don't know how to check voltages - but do have a multi-meter.

    Thanks!

    Looks like the left side of the screen is scanning every other line, hence the difference in brightness. Could be tab bond or panel issue - replacing the tcon may have tussled ribbons enough to mess with the picture.

    Try running the panel with only one ribbon each plugged into the top of the tcon (I assume there is only two?) And report back your results.

      Thanks for the info, the tcon only has one ribbon (pic attached) and a cable connection on top. If I unplug either one of them I have no picture.

        VIZIO E70-E3 Half picture with half TCON
        by Fly_Among_Stars
        Hi,
        I have a VIZIO E70-E3.
        Symptoms: Black screen, no picture, but LED backlights are working.
        I probed the power board and voltages are as listed on the board.
        Main board appears fine, too.
        I believe the problem is either a bad T-CON board, or connection to LCD, or bad LCD.
        There are two separate ribbon cables feeding the LCD.
        If both are connected, the screen is black.

        If only the ribbon cable that feeds the right side of the screen (when viewed from the front) is disconnected, the left side of the screen shows picture and...

        LG 55sk8000 plb ..snow in the middle of screen but can see that picture exists there
        by burbutsalos
        Hello everyone.

        I have this TV set which has this issue. It shows a vertical bar im the middle of the screen.
        The panel has 12 cofs and the problem seems to be on the territory of the first cof on the right side.
        The tv fires up and you can see a good picture exept that vertical part where multicoloured pixels exist.
        The strange thing there is that you can see behind that snow that it shows picture but as if there are these pixels in front so you cannot see clearly.

        The effect is there even on a completely black screen.

        The screen...

        TCL 50S535 bad tcon or panel issue?
        by x_orange90_x
        Just bought this for 10 bucks yesterday hoping to fix it. The guy said water dropped inside from a dehumidifier hose and it started showing black and white vertical bars then went blank. When I got it home and turned it on it came on fine and displayed correctly but I was noticing faint vertical bars in the image. After a little bit I turned it off and back on and it was a black screen again. I opened it up to check for water damage and corrosion but didn't find anything of the sort. I cleaned the ribbons anyway and reconnected them but still got a blank screen. If I disconnect the right side...

        SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
        by JJAAMM
        This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

        Problem
        TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

        Sony trinitron Wega KV-HR36 picture issues
        by homerging
        Hello,
        could anyone please tell me what is likely to be causing the CRT picture quality issues as shown in the attachments and what it'd take to fix it if that is possible?

        The picture has a greenish tinge, colour scan lines are separated and there can be shimmering and the bottom can be missing at first. It has slowly gotten worse over time.

        It is worst when first turned on and slowly improves but not resolves over a period of approximately 90 minutes. Warmer room temperatures possibly have a positive influence....
