    Samsung PS51E550 vertical lines

    I need some expert thoughts as to whether the panel in this Plasma is a write-off or worth going further in fault finding? I cleaned up the ribbon cables and connectors going to the vertical buffer boards. No change.
    Have read quite a lot on the net about this problem. Some people seem to recommend changing out the vertical buffer boards. Others go to this expense without any success.

      That's not a Panasonic

      Personally I think once you have vertical lines like that the COF has failed or is failing and it's toast.

      I have not read or seen many success stories of replacing thos lower buffers and winning. I've even had a panasonic with a line or two and swapped everything out of another and it was the panel.

          Thanks for your advice Gerard. I'll strip out the good boards and junk it.

              Colorful LCD Vertical Lines on Samsung ue55es8090
              by Falki
              Hello there, ive recently found an older 55inch Samsung SmartTV.
              Sadly it has vertical lines at the left and one line in the middle-right.

              I have already tested out the connections and have looked at the soldered ribbons of the LCD panel to see if some contacts got loose by pushing them a bit but with no success.
              I have factory resetted the TV as well but also with no luck.

              I am afraid that it is indeed a LCD Panel issue but there are NO scratches or any impact-marks..

              A similar issue has been posted as well but also with no actual response ...

              Screen Display Vertical Multicolor Lines
              by Stanley1843
              Hello, I have a screen in where sometimes when I open it pop-up vertical multicolor lines (I would say the most of them are green). If I tun off and turn on the screen the lines dissapear or if I leave open the screen after approximately five minutes the lines gone. I measured the below voltages on the main PCB and on the T-CON board and the voltages are the same when it doesn’t display the vertical lines and when it displays the vertical lines. Also, I cleaned all the connectors very good with IPA. I moved back and forth the connectors and the COF tabs but the vertical lines didn't displayed...

              TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
              by howardc64
              All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
              • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
              • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

              LG 49uf695v vertical coloured lines
              by pni
              Hi guys…I need your help. My cousin ask me to fix her tv. The tv when I went to pick up showed 3 horizontal black line. So I know it was a bad panel issue but I could try to fix with the tape method so I said her I could fix easy. When I come back to home, I turned on the tv and now the tv show vertical line colored….and the problem is that I unplug the ldvs cable, first the right side then the left side I still have the lines. The lines never disappear. When the right side is plug in I don’t have nothing on the screen only this vertical lines, when the right side is unplugged I have picture...

              Samsung UN46C8000XFXZA vertical bars/horizontal lines
              by x_orange90_x
              I posted about this previously but didn't get any response, and I have some troubleshooted a bit so I have more info.

              The screen is full of horizontal "gaps" or lines that distort the picture badly, and after about 10 seconds of powering it on the screen starts to fill with red vertical bars that take on the horizontal pattern. After the screen filled with the red bars, they instantly vanished and then slowly started to reappear. I initially thought it was tab bonding failure, but after getting down to them and pressing each one I find zero change in the picture. I went...
