    LG OLED 55EC930V Horizontal flashing lines problems

    Thank you for your gorgeous forum.

    I have a LG OLED 55EC930V, that worked perfectly hanged on the wall for more than 5 years, now, after a initial screen dim for 30 seconds, I cycled power it, and now I have this strange problem that was filmed on this short youtube video.

    https://youtu.be/vgF_kTjzEe8

    Since the TV in background works, it respond to the remote normally, audio works, and after reading similar posts on this forum I understand it can be the TCON board (please help me to understand if it is a defective panel instead) I found two part numbers for this TV, one, the oldest version (6/2014) have a FPGA chip, the second one (11/2014) seems to have a custom chip instead.

    Original part number: 6870C-0555A
    Possible improved (?) compatible part number: 6870C-0477C

    With your kind help, I just want to understand:
    - If behavior in the video is a panel issue
    - If the problem caused, can be addressed by replacing the TCON, and if the "improved" TCON can be a better solution if compatible. (less heat)

    Thank you very much for your time and your help!
    1. "improved" replacement found on ebay
    2. same model replacement fount on ebay
    3. original part
    4. back sticker

        Can you get the menu up?? If you can, turn off the Dynamic Contrast- Picture- Picture Mode Settings -Expert Control- Dynamic Contrast.

          Unfortunately, even if the flashing lines are currently part of the full image, is not possible to glimpse the menues options. But I'm almost certain I already disabled the dynamic contrast years ago. The lower part of the screen is ok for about 5cm, the rest is black with random noise lines, but them never appears in the same place.

            Ok, when you are trying to get the menu are all accessories hdmi rca etc unplugged so just the tv power cord is only thing hooked to tv?

              There's an adjustment that can be made from the service menu but the service menu can be tricky to access.

                yes, the power cord is the only thing connected
                I made a IR - wav cable in the past to disable the screen dimming during calibration, so I could eventually try to access the service menu.

                  Most don't have a service remote, there's an andriod app that can get in, if you can get in go to OLED>TCP Enable set it to 0 and exit.

                      thank you, if TCP = ASBL (so it means the display auto dim after 60 sec of inactivity right?) it was already turned off years ago during a calibration session.

                        As far as I Know, TCP has to be disabled in the service menu, is that where you disabled it from?

                          Yes, I disabled it using a IR led connected to a 2.5mm jack, then played a special wav sound with a laptop with the TV off, and the Service Menu appeared. Then disabled the TCP, I'm sure I archived a picture of the screen somewhere.... trying to find it.

                            Ok, looks good, must be some other issue. Don't know unless a factory reset or firmware update may have reset it??

                              Good point, I'll try to enter the Service menu again, but I'm not sure I can blindly reach this option with the screen in these conditions.

                                    Maybe try the disconnect one or two ribbon cables from the tcon to panel test, one side at a time and see if you get half a proper display(always disconnect and reconnect cables with tv unplugged from power)

                                      OLED tvs seem to have lots of panel problems, seems like the technology as it progresses is getting more unreliable. What I see, CRT tv very reliable but not the greatest picture quality, then going downhill in order lcd not too bad, led constant backlight problems mostly, oled great picture quality but panel and constant picture issues banding artifacting etc. Left out plasmas, the first plasmas I came across had 3 or 4 very noisy fans so never was interested in owning one.

                                        you mean this one?
                                        https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...hlight=lg+oled

                                        - since the last pictures in my opinion is not a picture of the panel, I glimpse something at the bottom like a metal frame
                                        - moreover, the lines are moving fast on my set, and they are part of the current picture, so strange behavior

                                          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...

                                          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...

                                          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,

                                          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...

                                          I just acquired this 3D LED yesterday and it has horizontal lines on a little more than half of the screen. When I first turn it on it has thin black lines going across that makes the image look serrated, and then shortly after patterns of thicker red lines fade in. If I turn it off and right back on it will reset to just the black lines and the red will again fade onto the screen.

                                          I initially thought tab bonds, but flexing the bezel makes no difference, and the fact the image sort of resets after cycling power is different. I haven't opened it up yet to actually test applying...
