Re: Toshiba Regza 42ZV650U Bad picture.

Hey tom66,

Thanks for replying.

Do you think there could be another source for this problem like mainboard or the TCON?
When I first started to get problems, it was just 1 black line across the screen (1 pixel thick). When you have that, does that suggest main board?

Hi Badcaps forum,

I have a Toshiba Regza 42ZV650U LCD TV. Manufactured in May 2009 so it's 4.5 years old. My problem started when I saw a black horizontal line across the top eighth of the screen. It was hard to notice unless you had an image that had a light background. I turned off the TV and unplugged the unit. I replugged it and the line as gone! But the next day, watching TV, the
black line came back and it got worse! Much worse! The screen below the line became black.

Attached are the pics.

Anything below the line is dark and then becomes...

Hi, I'm handy with electronics. Fixed my vcr remote back in the day. (It was extra solder that spilled over a contact.) Hoping to learn how to fix the TV with the forum's help.
