Well I got a decent price on an LG 60" 3D PLASMA. 7 years of warranty I wonder if changing the caps would fix the line issues on these stupid samsungs. Meh its for sale now.
As in the ribbons you took pictures of that had the little pokes in them? I did take apart the entire LCD including those little long black screws. However as far as ribbons that can disconnect from the LCD all I found were the tcon to lcd ribbons. Sorry semi n00b at this Thanks for the help though.
Yes my problem is a solid vertical line which is greenish around 6" width running down the right side of the LCD. Picture below......
UGH! Ripped the whole thing apart. Inspected tab bonds all look okay...took the tcon/lcd cables off cleaned male/female ends with rubbing alcohol and compressed air. Put the 1000 screws back together and still the same result.
Next step I will try will be to rip the whole thing apart again and with the lcd plugged in try pressing on the LCD/tcon cables and see if something is just wrong there and replacing the caps on the power supply when they arrive. I want to give up but I don't
By 'reseating' the cables going into the tcon board this can sometimes fix this problem. My screen did this and reseating the cables fixed it sort of. What I was left with is a solid 6" vertical line but the rest of the tv pictue is fine. And afterwards I repaced the main board + tcon board which did not solve the 6" vertical line issue.
Well thanks for the replies! I guess I will start ripping this thing apart to and inspect the bonds. Should be interesting Let me know how you make out tibimakai.
UPDATE! Okay so blew $200 on a new tcon/main board/all cables. Changed it all out and THE LINE IS STILL THERE. AHHH!! Is it time to throw TV off the balcony or does anyone else have any suggestions?? Any help extremely appreciated.
Hey guys, re-seated the cables already still did not fix the solid vertical line. I got my eyes on a new tcon/main board for an okay price but will this fix the problem. Any info extremely apprecaited!
