Hi guys and gals, got a strange one here. When I start it up I get a flash of red across the entire screen and then it runs just fine except for a horizontal line across the screen. The person who brought it to me said it wouldn't power on but I didn't experience that.
I tore it down and checked for any obvious issues such as bulging caps or burnt components but all looks OK. I see that many of these have bad caps but I've never seen this particular video issue before.
The issue doesn't change when I tap or squeeze on the edges of the panel. Also I can only see the line from the top or bottom but not when directly viewing it if that makes any sense.
I uploaded a video so maybe one of you can have a look. Tempted to just buy some caps and see but maybe could be a tab issue? Doesn't look like anything I've seen before.
Thanks.
