LG - 42lf5000 weird image

[anna1980]

A friend of mine just sent me this picture of his tv.
It a 42lf5000 from LG

I havent seen it yet, since hes going to take it to me this weekend.
But by the looks of it, it doens't look like a panel problem.

I think it should be something like a tcon problem. Since these things could have something like the dreaded as15/as19 chip, could this be a case of malfunction chip ?

I saw it had the intersil i7868a chip. Can anybody confirm it is interchangable with an as19

Hi That looks like an AS15 fault iv had to sort loads of them over the years, remove the TCON and replcae the AS15 chip or if you cant swap it out search for an AS15 repair service on ebay

noledud you don't read well the posts, She said it has i7868a chip...
If She (or he?) is willing to try the chip swap.. IT IS ALWAYS THE BETTER WAY than replacing tcon with a SURELY used one that can fail shortly..
