SOS...!
Hoping some1 can spare some expertise on this problem... I have a LG 55LW6500-TA and was watching TV last week. All of a sudden the picture turned into pink thin moving horizontal lines across the entire screen. (Unless there's an external reset button I'm not aware of ) I'm unable to reset the tv as I can't see the menu. On the weekend I took the back off and had a look at the boards - couldn't see anything 'burnt' or any domed capacitors.There was what appeared to look like a 'clot' on one of the ribbons leading from the T-con board to the panel (bottom of the Tv) so I softly rubbed it before turning the tv back on. It now starts with the pink lines for a few seconds but then changes to green / white flickering lines on a black background. As it warms up it tries to display a picture but doesn't quite get there so ends up looking like white flickering abstract images on the screen. I read a comment indicating that horizontal lines usually indicates a bad panel however was holding onto hope given the panel responded to this last action. Any suggestions to pinpoint the issue would be greatly appreciated. The tv's around 4.5-5 yrs old but I've only had it for 6 months and can't afford a replacement. I have recorded it if that'll help. Apologies for the length of this post & thank you in advance!
