Re: Frame Rate Converter in UN50H6350AF

OK, here's the latest. A little over a week ago I opened the TV and tried some remedies. I tried to clean the LVDS cable and re-seat the connectors.

Thanks for this forum. It looks like there are a variety of things here, including information I have already found to answer some repair questions. I'm an electrical engineer by profession, but have had some background in the past repairing some tech, just occasionally. From the days of vacuum tubes to 4K LED TVs.
