Samsung UE50ES5505 double image

[PowerAmpFreak]

Samsung LED model UE50ES5505 goes suddenly into double image mode.
it appears there is some failure around T-CON / ribbon wiring to panel. Please advice.
When both panel ribbons are seated double image begin.
When the left ribbon is unmounted, the right part of the picture is nice and stable.
But not other way around.
bad T-con? bad ribbons? bad panel?

Do you mean the 2 ribbons between T-con and panel?

Why does the screen be Ok when remove one of them? (half screen OK and no double image) ?

I try to find two new ribbons for this one.
Did not have any luck with the tape trick.

Try taking the original strips and clean them then use a cotton swab soaked with WD-40 and moisten the fingers. Refit and see if that helps. I had a similar problem and in desperation tried this trick and it worked. The 'dry joint' syndrome.

Remove the strips one at a time and work out which side the fault originates on. Clean the strip (white rubber) and the contacts on the boards (folded white paper run like sand paper on the contacts). Blow out any fibers, try it again.

If the problem persists, I have had luck with removing some contacts points curing this (heaven knows why this works). This is what they are doing in the videos. You are stopping one or two cables working between the tcon and the panel. Use a small bit of tape covering about two pins and try this, working your way along the ribbon from the outside edge in starting about 3 pins in from the outer edge. Put it in, turn it on, look to see if there is a change. If not turn off, move it along a pin and try again. Seems to work somewhere in the first half of the panel ribbon cable.

Thanks ammarben.
I had a double image on a Samsung LA40D550 and your link fixed the TV.
I had doubts if it would work. I'm not sure why it works.
I posted a pic of what I did.
Is it possible that part of the ribbon cable is panel feedback and gives the T-Con board wrong info.
