Samsung 32" LE32C450E1W TV unusual Fault

[Sean D]

Hi< I have the above TV and it has an unusual fault, It runs perfectly normal until I use any of the menus, shortly after the menu is displayed a vertical red line appears near the left hand side, if I leave the menu up the line gets deeper in colour and spreads across the screen, any help would be appreciated, I have done a factory reset and cleaned the LCD ribbon
Thanks in advance

Could you take some pictures please, it sounds like a bad lcd panel.

I will put some on soon as my camera battery is flat, forgot to mention that if the Tv is turned off and on its fine again until I enter the menus

Sounds like a bad panel, what is the panel used in this tv ?

Weird. What if you try sending it a test pattern that looks similar to the menu?

This is after 20 seconds of the menu being pressed


This is about a minute later


I found that once the menu is off the red line fades away after about 2 minutes

Hook it up to a computer and display a similar image or such, perhaps?

Weird that it only shows up with the menu and goes away after... At first guess that would make me think something is wrong with the logic board, but then perhaps a bad panel\driver etc might be responding to that specific kind of picture.
