lines on screen Manta LED4201

[andyfitz48]

Hi
Picked up the above tv today and initially the picture came on but appeared washed out, lacking greens.
Suspected the Tcon so reseated all connections and much jiggling later all the screen displays is a screen full of multicolour vertical lines. Sound is fine.
Im having probs uploading fotos from my tablet but does this sound like a tcon fault before I try to track down a replacement or a bad panel? Cheers

Hi
Still unable to upload fotos from my tablet but think it is a faulty tcon.
Having no luck tracking down a replacement. Not even ebay has them, its an e8844194v.
Does anyone know where I could pick one up or even somewhere which can fix them.
Much appreciated

Sounds more like Mb to me tbh Andy. Would need images though to get a better idea sorry.

I would likely say panel failure on that tbh bud.

Re: lines on screen Manta LED4201

Thanks for the suggestion though I still think I'll try a new tcon - if I can find one.
Scoured ebay and they seem to be rarer than hens teeth so can anyone suggest where else I can try? Also tried flattvparts, spares2repair etc.
Cheers

Are you getting steady 12VDC at the T-CON fuse? and standby Voltage is steady and not low? I have seen this symptom before due to border line standby Voltage or the switched 5V.

Yes, I was when I 1st opened it up and the picture was displayed though washed out.
Didnt test it after id jiggled with the ribbon cable and the screen went to just vertical lines.

Still trying to find a tcon for the Manta TV. The con is a c6870 0328a v0.6.
There is 1 of these on ebay but does the replacement need to be not only the same part number but from the same TV or will any c6870 0328 v0.6 work in my set? Thanks
