    I am in the same boat as you with a 55EF9500 model. In my case, it would display vertical lines across the screen that would sparkle/shimmer. They would go away and come back randomly it seemed. I just replaced the T-CON with what seems to be an identical replacement as far as model, version, and other numbers on the board. It showed image retention from its previous TV home, but setting the compensation interval to 0 and turning off the TV cleared that up pretty well. Now I'm getting wide vertical bands... but the rest of the picture looks great.

    I don't know if this TV is worth all this effort of buying a programmer, etc, but it still interests me. Depending on what you find, I might dive in for the heck of it. Is it possible to read the eMMC while it's on the board?

    What I found, is the new TCON and the old TCON eMMC contains almost same data, comparison was not easy, but data on the original is shifted up, it means the memory controller inside the eMMC is the real problem, it allocates memory in a bad way. So is IMHO impossible to recover original panel compensation and copy it, because part of the data are outside visible range coz badly allocated by the eMMC. Is clearly a Micron eMMC problem due to a bad chip sorting during production. What is "funny" is that piece costs only 4$ but makes a 2.5K TV unusable. So the only way is to replace completely the TCON but since the TCONs we found on ebay, are taken from shorted/broken panel TVs, the FPGA chip can be also partially faulty, this is why we get large vertical bands. The only way in my opinion is to resolder OLD TCON to the new TCON board. But we never get back the original calibration, we will always see halos somewhere. If we can access the eMMC memory maybe LG stored somewhere during production, it will be easier, but I don't really think it will be possible.

      Hi , I m in the same problem, OLED55C9 T-CON switch OFF tv between 30-1m30sec so I bought new T-con and the problem is that I got vertical bands

      Did you find in the end a way to copy data from old eMMC memory and write to new one?

      Thank you

        unfortunately the original eMMC is readable, but data corrupted, so it's impossible to copy between them, I checked both with HEX editor, and the data is organized in a different way, so is not the memory itself, is memory controller that is addressing data in a wrong way, the original one data seems to be shifted up. Since I got the vertical bands too, I wanted to try the latest version of that TCON, see picture attached:

        new version
        6870C-0477C LG550LUD-LGP2-X31 DESIGNED 2014 NOV 8TH

        the one I have now is (OLD)
        6870C-0555A LC550LUD-LGP1-831 DESIGNED 2015 JUN 10TH

        I hope someone already tried this solution.
        Thank you!

          Seems like these OLED issues are never as simple as I had hoped. I have read/lurked alot here and was hoping swapping in a T-con board could help my TV.

          I have yet to multimeter test the T-con board, and I am somewhat unsure of how to do it, so I considered just finding one on ebay and swapping it. You are so knowledgeable here.

          Was a $2000 Tv so very sad that it just died outside of warranty. I am new member so apologies for adding to old thread.

            Re: LG OLED 55EC930V Horizontal flashing lines problems

            good afternoon, I have a problem with the same TV, when I turn it on, the lg symbol lights up in white in front for 4 seconds and turns off again, the on command appears but the drive command does not, I have already turned off the power to the tcon board but it remains the same, replaces the main board but it didn't solve it, it doesn't give an error code, I put a resistance of 100 omios between the on command and the drive command (1 and 2 of p201) and the right part of the screen doesn't light up, I don't know if I should incriminate the display, help would be appreciated

              I don't think oled was or is ready for prime time, witness all the problems in this thread alone. Just a little comparison without going into great detail: OLED vs QLED tv: Oled-better blacks: Qled-higher color purity, can get much brighter, big plus for me hate dingy whites, cost less, longer life span, more reliable imo, I'm satisfied with their blacks, clear winner Qled.

                So I choose full array Qled tvs over oled, skip the edge lit.

                  TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
                  by howardc64
                  All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
                  • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
                  • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

                  Flashing Horizontal Lines on TCL LED55p65US in the Jungle
                  by Villiager
                  I am in the jungle visiting family and I always try to fix all their electronics while I am here

                  A few years ago I gave a family a TCL LED55P65US tv, and now i am back and it is having some issues.

                  There are constant, shifting horrizontal lines across the screen and the screen flashes every 1.5 seconds or so, as seen in the attached gif.

                  Ive been through a few troubleshooting steps and no luck so far.

                  Does this seem like a possible T-Con board issue or does this seem unrepairable? The tv has been in a high heat and high humidity area, and the...

                  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...

                  Sony XBR-65X750D Horizontal lines bottom of screen
                  by ggil44
                  Hi, I have a Sony XBR-65X750D that has horizontal lines at the bottom 6 inches of the screen. These lines appear to be every other line because the picture is still quite visible behind those lines. The lines appear all the time with a few other lines above and below the 6 inch level blinking on and off at about 2 second intervals. I'm not sure if this is a panel issue or power supply/main board problem. I did replace the T-Con board without any change in the problem. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

                  Sony XBR-85X950G Gray horizontal lines and vertical picture shift diagnosis?
                  by noisykid
                  5.5 year old 85 inch Sony Bravia X950G started showing gray horizontal lines across the bottom of the screen and the picture shifts slightly vertically when it happens. The lines sometimes get bigger/smaller vertically and bounce back. See the video for the problem. It seems to be happening after it warms up after an hour or so. Happens regardless of source. Right now there's nothing but power cable connected and it's happening. We did hook up a new Nintendo Switch to our HDMI switching receiver today, and played for a while with no issues, but this problem didn't occur til a few hours later while...
