    LG 42LV5500 - horizontal line (got picture and sound after CPU reflow)

    Hello badcappers,
    This is my first thread here. Sorry if it's not in the right section.

    I got a LG 42V5500 TV for free. The indicator lit blue, when turned on, but no picture and sound. The guy who gave it to me said that it was repaired and stopped working after 1 week.

    I disassembled the TV and start troubleshooting.
    All the voltages seemed fine. I've read in an old topic here that those LG's have a problem with the CPU on the motherboard. I removed the board and the heatsink and it was clear that someone tried to reflow it.

    I have a hot air station, but never have reflowed anything. I just put some thermal tape on the SMDs below and around the CPU (LGE35230) and heated it for few minutes at 280C, then let it cool down and voila - there was picture and sound. Now the TV is working for 20 hours straight. I wonder if I should by the CPU (it's 10$ on Aliexpress) and get it rebolted professionally (I got an offer for about $30).

    BUT there is another problem. There is a green horizontal line on the left part on the screen, not visible on black picture. I've cleaned the ribbon cables with a rubber and a brush, but that didn't fix the problem. One of the ends of the ribbon cable has few lines (i don't know if this is the correct term) looking kind of strange but appear to be making contact with the boards.
    I would appreciate your suggestions on how to get rid of the line and If I should order a new CPU and have it rebolted or rely on my fix.

          Doesn't look too good, I've seen some trim off a little and make it work, never had to try it myself tho.

                TV Philips 43PUS8505/12 - horizontal line and picture jumping
                by betmen
                TV is Philips 43PUS8505/12, bought in 12/2020, so the two-year warranty has expired about 5 mounth ago...
                Problem is that 15 minutes after TV is turned on, the horizontal lines appear and picture start jumping up and down.

                I suspect that T-CON is faulty when wormed up...

                I separated all the cables from the T-CON and cleaned them but there is no change.
                Eco mode is disabled, software is up to date, I make factory reset and reinstal TV from TV menu...no change, problem is stil here.

                Anibody have some thoughts?...

                Samsung QN70Q6DTA Ghost or horizontal lines after tape fix horizontal line
                by Ihandyrepair
                Hi guys

                I just started fixing 4k TV few months ago. so I am still learning a lot
                I got this tv from friend complaint is ghosting or horizontal lines on image.

                never saw the original symptom but I took the tv back home. the funny part is that after bringing to home, the tv worked fine no issue for 3 weeks.
                then it started to show the ghosting white image.
                I started using the tape method, but this tv does not have a T con board and it has only 1 ribbon cable from main board to the tv panel.
                it has 3 thin small boards at the bottom of the...

                Samsung UN50TU8000FXZC shows thin horizontal green line when warm
                by cubytus
                Hi to all,

                I was given this TV, an entry-level 4K 50" set. Some have criticized its lack of contrast and relatively poor colour rendering, but for my needs, it's very decent.

                I reset everything to factory settings, but this line keeps on fading in and out when watching a streaming channel from the Tizen firmware. Interestingly, it only happens when TV is warm, after about 1h45 of it being turned on.

                Watching a movie from an external source doesn't trigger the line as easily (needs 2 hours), and from a normal viewing distance, is hardly noticeable. It...

                Samsung UE58TU7100K - no picture, vertical line
                by mrsith
                Hi.

                Got UE58TU7100K with no picture - backlight comes on though. Figured out that's a perfect candidate for cut tape method.

                This model has just one LVDS tape coming off main board - and two panel boards underneath the LCD screen are connected to each other via small tape. Like curved screens. I've tried to disconnect half of the screen (5he side without LVDS connector on it, obviously), no joy.

                Disconnected the tape (main board side). Applied a small piece of tape, covering first ~4-5 pins. Powered the TV on - got picture. In negative, but that's...

                Samsung UN65KU6500FXZA horizontal line in top of picture
                by nwelec
                First let me say I can not get the picture to stay on long enough to take all of the pictures I want but in the one picture you can see a horizontal line in the top of the picture. It will run for about 20 seconds then the whole picture will turn purple and get large horizontal lines in video and reboot. It gets faster at this the longer it is left on. I know it is a panel issue, I am just interested if anyone has had any success repairing the problem. twisting the screen or any pressing on bottom tabs makes no difference....
