samsung le46c755 2 vertical rows of dead red pixels

[platinumfin]

Hi! I have about 3yrs old 3d tv and suddenly there is 2 vertical lines 1 pixel wide of dead red pixels. Is it panel fault or something else? Blue and green colour are visible but no red on those lines...

Probably Tab-Bond failure....

you could try pressing down on the affected tab that goes into the panel can put a shim underneath the metal frame. However if this does fix the problem it will eventually get worse to the point where it's rendered useless for that whole array of pixels will be dead. It's unfortunate but just part of the game with LCD panels

Looks like tab bond failure, do they go away after the panel warms up or change colors?

Nope they wont go away. Are the bonds upper or lower side of screen?

And by the way i have le46c659 model too and i was wondering could it be any sense to switch panel from that to the other?
