    another QUICK QUESTION! LG 55UH615A - Is this panel damage?

    im still waiting to hear back from the guy whos tv i posted a similar question about earlier. so i havent tried the tape cut off method on that tv yet, or any tv for that matter.

    in the meantime, i bought this tv off of a guy who didnt want to pay me to fix it. i got it for 10$ i told him it was possible i could fix it with some tape but maybe he didnt believe me...or just didnt want to bother. anyway its mine now, to hopefully fix and sell!

    could this be a similar problem? i think it would be a cool idea to have a database of different examples of panel damage videos and what the problem was found to be. please have a look and tell me what you think the problem is. again, thanks for playing!

      turns out the tape method really has legs. i blocked a few lines on the right side of the tcon cable for the left half of the panel and the glitching went away. at first i just tried blocking one line at a time, and i could get it almost perfect but it was still doing this rhythmic 'ticking' every few seconds where instead of the image glitching like it was, the brightness, or color changed slightly. would have been super annoying. so i went with a piece of plastic a few pins wide, around the same spot, to the left or right a pin or 2 until i found "the sweet spot" where the panel looks damn near perfect now. amazing! i had to guess and check because i couldnt easily tell which lines were the clock lines. whats a good way to know that so i dont have to waste so much time groping around in the dark?

        LG 75UN8570AUD panel issue fixed with tape.
        by triplefour
        I've been seeing a lot of the new TVs (samsung and LG only i think) maybe 1-2 years old suffering from sudden panel death and have been over 50% successful bringing them at least most of the way back to functionality if not all the way, with the tape masking of the LVDS pins method.
        add this one to the list. the issue was on the left side of the panel and i ended up blocking just 3 pins on the connector that joins the two panel boards that make up the left side of the panel (it has 4 boards total) i didnt get the picture back to 100% perfect. i spent hours fiddling with which pins to block...

        Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel

        Failure Symptom



        No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

        Where is the short?

        Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



        Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...

        A1312 (27” iMac 2009-2011) A1407 (Thunderbolt Display) A1316 (Cinema Display) Display Black Screen Repair

        Problem

        This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

        Samsung UE70TU7020K Which lines to tape on a bad panel
        by learnmore
        Hello Community,

        I'm working on a Samsung UE70TU7020K.

        It looks like a bad panel. There is only 1 FPC cable from the Tcon (built into mainboard) to the panel.

        I'm using a piece of tap a few mils (covers about 8-10 pins), at different locations and have had varying results but nothing that is remotely watchable (multiple lines across all the screen, half screen and total black out on screen). The buffer board is divided into 3 boards. I've disconnected the end board one at a time but each time the screen was totally black. I presume it's because the potential...

        LG 49UJ6500 LCD panel lighter band that goes away
        by howardc64
        49UJ6500 LCD panel has a lighter band on top when first powered on. Goes away (or gets much fainter) after TV on for a few min. After powered off for awhile and power back on, same band appears. If powered on immediately after powering off, no or much fainter band. Running the latest firmware.

        Disassembled the TV and lifted the LCD panel during testing. Band is on the LCD panel (can see the band on the panel as I lift it slightly) Backlight is perfectly even at the top edge. Double checked LCD panel alignment in the frame and is perfect but since band moved with the panel, its on...
