Sceptre X32BV-FullHD repeating columns

[EDlTOR]

So my Sceptre X32BV-FullHD started solarizing a year ago and I just got around to replacing the T-con board. The image is fixed but now some of the it is being repeated.

Is this problem caused by the new T-con board or something else?

The OSD is also affected by this.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Is replacement T-Con identical to original?

If you refit the original, does the picture take correct order of displayed items--even though it has other issues....?

As a tip--I wouldnt run the set without that metal frame on the screen--The COF Chips rely on it for a heatsink and on some panels run extremely hot, that could lead to destruction.

Yes, the T-con is identical to the original.

I threw the original back in and I am not getting a picture at all...

Oh, and I put the frame back on (I had no idea it functioned as a heatsink ).

I had such problem with Samsung panel in grundig tv set, try to remove the frame around panel and gently press the first, top test strip foil from the left side of panel, for me the pressure is solved duplication, I had duplicated video and menus.

I have tried tapping everything around the panel and I get no change in the picture at all. When I release the ribbon cable (the one I am holding down in the picture), the left side of the picture looses form and becomes a bunch of vertical lines. I have switched ribbon cables and nothing changes, so they aren't the problem.

Any other thoughts?

Hang on... You are holding down one of the tab bonds which then the image changes if you let go of it?

Re: Sceptre X32BV-FullHD repeating columns

Not the tabs. The ribbon that connects the T-con to the board that connects via tab to the lcd (I don't know what its called)(top right of the picture). While the image does change, it never corrects itself. When I hold down the ribbon and the connection is perfect, the images is doubled. This makes me believe the problem is pre ribbon cable.
