Samsung un50h6201 - solarized

[Electron4444]

I recently picked up a Samsung un50h6201 LCD TV. All works except the part of the screen is solarized. The left ½ is fine. From the center going right for about ¾ of the way the screen is bad and then for the rest, it is fine again.

I think I know what the problem is but only tinkering with TVs is a hobby, I thought you guys with a lot more experience could help me out.

My question is, can a TCON board cause this kind of problems or is it a bad panel

Attached is a picture of the screen. I thought I had the flash turned off but obviously not.

Thanks chrismurphy, I was thinking that it might be a tab bond problem.

I thought a good check would be to swap the cables between the TCON and the panel.

Since the cables are not long enough, This brings up two questions.

- Can you power up with only one cable connected?

- Can you power up without the TCON being mounted? Again cable length problem.

Thanks
