    Zenith Z50PG10 Red Horizontal line

    My television has been like this for one year, I am wondering what is going on with it. Here are some pictures.

    Possibly faulty upper buffer board

      Yes, I agree, bad top buffer.

        How can I check the buffer board. I know to look for bulging caps and discoloring around them.

          That would be the top y-buffer board.

            might want to pop the back off and put a photo of the boards in this. just did a search and get a couple oF LG variants, one of which is the notorious IPM boards of the 50PX5D era where the buffers have surface FETs that can blow.

            All you can do is check for shorted outputs at the buffer connectors to the panel. I don't know these boards well enough without researching a fair bit. Someone else should have a fair idea.

              There's nearly no point; this fault can only be caused by a bad buffer as far as I know. But, if you want, here is a test you can do:

                I'm with you , I'd just find another board if cheap enough and try it.

                  Samsung QN70Q6DTA Ghost or horizontal lines after tape fix horizontal line
                  by Ihandyrepair
                  Hi guys

                  I just started fixing 4k TV few months ago. so I am still learning a lot
                  I got this tv from friend complaint is ghosting or horizontal lines on image.

                  never saw the original symptom but I took the tv back home. the funny part is that after bringing to home, the tv worked fine no issue for 3 weeks.
                  then it started to show the ghosting white image.
                  I started using the tape method, but this tv does not have a T con board and it has only 1 ribbon cable from main board to the tv panel.
                  it has 3 thin small boards at the bottom of the...

                  Problem

                  This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                  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...

                  Hi guys I have this tv and in one side of the pannel it shows some line i also cleaned the camble notting, although I found an smd capacitor on the pcb (there's no tcon on this model) but I can't find the same model thanks
