Re: Samsung TV (LNS3251DX/XAA) Display Blurry with Motion

Thank you for making that clear for me. Understanding the Terminology and application is the one thing that often becomes unique among the various products and engineering disciplines. Each support group develops their own set of terms which get taken for granted by the professionals in that field, but must be understood by those who enter or try to be productive in that field.
This reminds me of the first (original) LCD (dot matrix) that I worked with in the early '80 was made of glass with the electrical interface...

Then making the better contact is an electrical enhancement?...

Re: Samsung TV (LNS3251DX/XAA) Display Blurry with Motion

Thanks for the suggestions. From what I understand about this "tab bond repair" is really just getting the heat removed from the components by conduction to the LCD metal mounting frame. While this may be generally required, I see the problem before any heat has built up.
I also just noticed that the static picture is very dark even with brightness turned up.
Switching from one static picture to another is seems the picture shows "On" fast but when next picture is selected the old one leaves...

Thanks for the quick reply from Tom66 and Ajshoe and now I will have to do some research as to what "tab bonds" and "bumper" are. Is this
'play with tab bonds' activity spelled out somewhere? Working on LCD TV is one of the very few electronics products that I have very little experiance with, but the solution sounds like there is hope.

I have an interesting problem that I will attempt to describe and hope someone can guide me in the right direction to troubleshoot and repair.
All input sources display the same issue in which the video is blurred like the TV is on LSD, as the moving picture is a rainbow of swirling colors. A static picture looks perfect. When another static picture is loaded the old one slowly fades away (10 sec.) as the new one becomes visible.
I have background in electronics repair and design so I also have high hopes that this can be repaired and with a little help it could be a short time...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi guys, my name is Thom and I live in Southern California and have worked with a broad variety of electronics all of my life. Having worked with software and hardware integrated systems for nearly 40 years, I still love designing and building prototypes most of all. I read the posts on this forum and see a lot of talent here and know I am in the right place to find help to repair my Samsung TV (LN-S3251D). It just might be a bad cap, the picture looks like it is on LSD as the disply takes about 10 seconds to update a still frame...
