    Extra lines and missing lines in Samsung ln46c630; panel looks fine

    I have a Samsung smart TV, ln46c630 from 2011, with both vertical and horizontal lines corrupted. The panel looks physically fine, as does the rest of the tv housing. I got it from somebody who was putting it out for recycling pickup so I don't know the history, other than their comment that it WAS NOT dropped. Pictures attached of the issue and the boards inside. Yes, the board are abnormally dusty. But nothing obviously burnt or any bad caps.

    At the least it seems like the power supply is good since I'm getting a well lit picture and the set seems to work properly, what I can see of it.

    So what's the chances that it's the panel that's bad, vs the mainboard or tcon? Anything I can do to check? Or do I have to order parts from ebay blind and hope for success? Those parts are going for almost as much as a used smart tv of this size goes for on our local market.

    ps I read https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...light=ln46c630, and tried tapping all over the main board with no change to the lines whatsoever. I didn't try heating any components.

      The problem is very likely the panel, check for water/liquid damage on the board attached to the panel ribbons (located between t-con and panel)

        it's very hard to see said board, and it's not clear what parts (all of them?) I might need to remove in order to get to it. But there's no sign of water ingress anywhere around the bottom of the set, no rusty metal on stains.

        meanwhile, I think you are right about the panel being the issue. The T-con has two output ribbons cables so I tried unplugging each in turn. While the majority of the unplugged side was black/blank the horizontal lines did not completely disappear. I've not actually seen that as a diagnostic before, does it have any merit?

          ps the panel exhibits what I can only call spreading: if you draw some bright rectangles in one region the pixels near it will gradually gain in brightness too over the period of a few seconds, like the pixel "whiteness" is diffusing out to nearby pixels.

            Samsung QE50Q67TAU - horizontal lines
            by Rubenlily
            Hello,

            First of all I'm new here. While looking I found this amazing forum and I'm very happy I did. Now for my problem:

            I picked up a Samsung UHD QLED QE50Q67TAU from 2021 for $50 knowing it was defective. The seller said it had black lines and that it could get stuck in boot randomly.

            I've tried a new power cable, hard reset, opening up and jiggling all cables, pressing everywhere to see if I get a reaction but I've gotten nothing. I've tried the tape method but I've only managed to get the lines worse.

            I'm no expert but I've done the tape...

            Samsung QN50Q60t lines on screen
            by jeyoung12
            Hi all
            I have lines on the screen...which is an age old problem that can be remedied by watching Youtube videos and getting out the tape.
            My issue (after successfully fixing a different sammy tv with a separate tcon board and isolating the side of the panel...):

            This tv has an integrated tcon...so it is a bit more confusing when trying to isolate the clocks.
            It has a c ribbon and i have taken each end out to see if that will isolate the lines. instead, it makes it much worse ALL over the tv!

            So....i don't know what end of the C ribbon to work with...
