Re: Help with Samsung LCD with multi colored lines?

Very good info to know. I guess I will hold out for a bit before I make a move with a new TV. Is this more common with LCD's? Or is this something that could maybe happen with LED and Plasma's as well?

I attached a pic that shows a couple shots of my TV with the lines.
(Big line on the left, little one to the right.)

Who knows maybe it will help someone in the future who has the same issue.

Thanks again for the help!

Re: Help with Samsung LCD with multi colored lines?

Thanks for the quick response!

Just so I understand better would that mean if I replaced the panel which I don't plan on doing it could happen again if the controller or drive signals are bad?

Hopefully that is not a dumb question i am just a noob with TV's.

I would also be curious to know what symptoms you look for when troubleshooting these type of issues? Like what would you look for to point you in the direction of replacing the t-con card vs. replacing the LCD panel?

This is a great forum which I have used in the past to help me fix a capacitor issue with this same TV. I had to replace a couple of them to fix the power up issue that is so common with these 4-5 year old Samsung LCD's.

It has been working fine since my first fix but recently it has developed a couple funky lines. One that is about 5 pixels wide and goes up from the bottom left side to about the middle of the screen and the other is 1 pixel wide right next to it.

I am trying to narrow down what it could be? It sounds like based on others with the same issue it's...
