TCL 75S425 lines

[idigg]

Hello Bad Caps. My two year old TCL TV all of a sudden has some crazy colors with vertical lines, and a single horizontal line. No damage to the TV, it just freaked out and did this. Powers on, but can't see any menu.

Any ideas how I could fix this? Much appreciated

Thats a bad panel or connection from tcon to buffer boards. Try unplugging either side of the tcon board (there are two ribbon cables on the tcon). See which side is causing the problem. May be able to fix with tape. Here's a link to a video where the guy has the same problem (almost) and fixes with tape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfrRhw7-ZII
