Re: Samsung UN40D5500RFXZA - Black lines on top half of display

I'm not sure if this helps the diagnosis much or not, but i removed one of the ribbon cables connecting the t-con to the panel and this was my result. the first photo is from removing the left cable from the t-con, the second photo is from removing the ribbon cable on the right side of the t-con connecting to the panel. My next step is to get the bonds exposed but samsung decided to use very cheap screws to mount the protective metal frame around them, the heads on these things are very susceptible to stripping....

Re: Samsung UN40D5500RFXZA - Black lines on top half of display

For tab bound fault, am i able to test this by squeezing or twisting the bezel to see if the display changes at all? Thanks for your quick response

I acquired this TV from one of my customers. Black lines are static and non changing. I'm hoping it's a T-CON or Main Board issue, or maybe even a buffer problem. Any of you professionals out there have any insight?...
