Hello all ~
I picked up a Samsung 46" LCD the other day. Its exact Model #is Samsung LN46A650A1FXZA. Version SQ01.
After it warms up for about 10 to 12 minutes, the picture instantaneously becomes perfect and will run indefinitely without issue.
BUT .... before the warm-up kicks in, it's a real mess.
First off, there are 3 pronounced horizontal lines (white in color) that go across the entire screen and cut the image into 4 distinct sections of equal size and measure. Then, even more disturbing, is that there is a double (maybe even triple) image that appears wherein the secondary image is not the same size or shape as the first. If you look closely at the pictures I've posted, and particularly the text on the screen, you'll see what I mean.
I have viewed the following YouTube video showing how a simple piece of clear tape on the LVDS cable(s). This approach appears to have helped many fix their sets based on the comments found there on YouTube below the video. Here is the link:

What I would like to gain insight into from this Badcaps forum before I open it up is whether or not others here have had a similar problem and have fixed it with the LVDS cable address or if there is likely another culprit(s), including the TCON Board, capacitors, or anything else that would cause this rather unusual circumstance of it being very troublesome for the first 10 - 12 minutes and then INSTANTANEOUSLY clearing itself up.
What's to blame for this particular circumstance?
p.s ~ I tried to use a hair dryer through the vented slots on the back in order to speed up the warm-up process but it had no effect whatsoever. It still takes the full 10-12 minutes to become clear whether I utilize the hair dryer or not.
Thanks in advance for the assitance.
Please ignore the "upside-down" nature of the images below. That's just the way the images uploaded into the Badcaps site this morning, and my reversing the saved images did not change the end result.
