- The orientation of lines on your LCD matter when trying to diagnose the problem. I've heard from a lot of you that you want some help with vertical lines (because I have other videos about horizontal lines) so I hope this video helps you understand more about how screens work and helps you with some ideas on how to get them working again.

Just wanted to let you know that your channel inspired me to repair my patio tv instead of buying a new one. Ended up being the led driver board. I’m pretty handy but electronics intimidated me until I came across your channel. Thanks for what you do!
Wow, that's so encouraging to hear! Thanks for letting me know. And congrats on your repair!
I like that you showed off this TV repair even though you were unable to get it 100% working.
If I can figure out a way to fix that tab bond, I’ll definitely show it. I’ve had some minor success by cutting into the cable at an angle and then dragging a soldering iron (with solder) across it.
@@FrugalRepair please Show it🙂
Through your knowledge I've been able to fix my telly and to be truthful you're one hell of a guy thank you ever so much for your information more power to your brother
I'm a new subscriber from Canada. I've been watching your videos and I couldn't thank you enough for the insights and skills I've learned. People like you who share their skills and knowledge for free so others can benefit will forever remembered. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching and your encouraging words!
Glad I discovered this video. Also happy you mentioned the horizontal lines even in passing but i wish to see it discussed in further detail hopefully in another video.
did you ever figure it out? Im having the same issue
I just got a 75 inch vizio off the curb. Black lines ugh. I followed your directions and cleaned contacts..... works like new! Thank you for the video. Definitely thumbs up.
That's great to hear! Congrats.
wow! after watching your video i was able to fix the vertical lines on my 12yr old workout room TV. i was about to replace it. ty so much for taking the time to share the knowledge.
edit: i stuck tape almost exactly where you did. pressure was needed.
Excellent video! Much thanks to you for making it. You are a great instructor!
Thanks for your encouragement!
I'm a new subscriber from Trinidad and Tobago. Your video with tape help me alot, just wanna say thank you!
Thanks for subscribing! Great to hear it helped.
In many cases you can successfully reattach the bond contacts by using a hot bar. Besides the contact surfaces being a little bit sticky themselves, there's adhesive between the contact surfaces which is activating when heated to safely keep the ribbon in place. There are temperature-regulated soldering irons that have large bar-shaped tips to put heat onto a large surface. That would be the best-controlled approach but also the most expensive. The edge of a laundry iron might also do the job as you don't need excessive heat, only around 180°C or so. If you are really careful you can even do this reattachment while the LCD is being powered so you can immediately see the success.
Love that you share this
Great video !!! Very Helpful
They say you’re supposed to learn something new every day and you, sir, have been my Sifu! I’m gonna get started right now. I’m checking those connection issues. Thanks again.
Ps TH-cam what the hell are you doing? These are the people that should get all the influencer money!! People teaching you how to fix things and intern, save money get with the program TH-cam, you’re broadcasting it😅🤦🏻😅
Excellent service
Thanks so much the video and information where very helpful.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for information
Very informative video. Have a similar issue, when watching the TV for 2-4 hours, a entire column 2" wide will draw itself top to bottom. I am assuming it is due to a heat related issue. This is an ancient TV, one of the original Hatachi 42 HD plasma tv's. 2006. Turn it off, let it cool down and its fine again for another 2 to 4 hours. Had it apart to replace the power board a few years back.
My 65" Vizio TV Model M65 D0 has a 2 to 3 inch solid vertical line. I changed the T-Con board, but the issue remains the same. Vizio technical service was not helpful either. I did try to push the ribbon cables, as you show in the video, that didn't show any change to that vertical bar (thick vertical line). Any other suggestion to fix the issue?
I have a 50inch webos powered rca, I was having horrible distorted image and lines.i unplugged the right ribbon cable, and a had half a screen white and the other with 90 mostly clear image. I did the tape method on ribbon cable and the distortion went away along with most of the lines. No matter how I taped the cables the lines were there. I replaced the tcon board and the lines a lot less visible (95%) repaired now. I wonder if my problem is more the ribbon cable/connection?
Good luck sir 🎉
Amazing..thank you..i will try repair my monitor after this..
How about warming the ribbon connection with a heat gun and applying pressure as it cools (one half, then the other, to avoid dislodging)? Might that soften the adhesive enough to re-establish the connection (even for solder)?
Great idea. The main issue I see is dealing with the corrosion effects around that area and heat unfortunately, wouldn’t help clean it up.
Bravo that very smart thank you bro
Hey! I’m having vertical lines on my LG monitor too. Mine are thicker and are bands of multicolor lines though. Any tips on what I should look into? I bought it off eBay and the ad mentioned it was “rasterized” thanks in advance
A big thank you! My 2017 LG TV recently developed horizontal lines across the bottom third with some parts of the image from the top third repeated at the bottom. I isolated the side that had the issue and taped the first 8 pins and the picture was perfect. I left it as such and I can't tell any difference. Should I leave it or try to reduce the lines blocked? Also this TV seems to have the t-con built into the main board. I don't mind replacing the board if that will make for a better fix. Thanks again. Your content is very useful.
If you like the picture, then I wouldn’t change anything. The issue is not on the tcon but on the lcd assembly (which you cant get a replacement)
@@FrugalRepair oh ok. Good to know. The picture as I see it now is basically flawless so no more changes then. Thanks for the quick response. Subbed too.
Thanks for that!
in that case, we have been paying thousands of taka to the service providers, and you sir bring the solution as an angel. thank you sir
Thanks..... Very useful video.... 👍
Thank-you for your TV repair videos. It allowed me to mostly fix my 75" QLED Samsung. TV was cycling from on to off. Replaced the power board. But still have a single multicolor vertical line. Have cleaned several times the the T-con ribbon cable connectors plus done resets, made sure software was updated and line appears on all inputs. So I am thinking the Main/T-con board got damaged when the power board faulted. Does that make sense?
Thanks! Congrats on the repair. Did you watch my video on vertical lines? It’s likely from a bad panel or tcon board. Hopefully it’s the tcon.
Hi, i like ur video, very detailed. I have 65 inches 2021 Oled LG Tv. I moved location and I received the tv after about 4weeks later and i turned it on, it comes on once and went off and never came up again
But the res light xomes yo when its plugged. Then there arw horizontal lines at the extreme right of the tv. Pleaae what do you advice. Thank you
You sir are a great teacher I will learn and save diy on most repairs thank you all I will recommend your channel to everyone!!! May God bless you all families 😊

@FrugalRepair Do you have any idea why OEM place those connectors at the bottom of the LCD panel instead of top?
Is this to "design failure mode" anytime something spills on the panel?
If those connectors would be at the top, gravity would be not helping OEMs
I don’t think there’s much significance to it because sometimes the tabs are at the top.
hi! The picture your friend sent you in this video, I have that same tv and that same issue with mine. How would you go about fixing this problem?
❤ from Burundi 🇧🇮
Can you also use electrical contact spray to clean up the connections of corrosion?
I've got vertical lines too and looks like there was some liquid ingress right where those ribbons enter the LCD itself. I don't see how I can clean there but I'm sure it's what's caused the lines as the ingress is right around where the lines are
if alcohol doesnt work, try wd40 and a paint brush instead. it has softer bristles and will will easily go in tight spaces. DO NOT GET WD40 ON THE ACTUAL SCREEN, IT WILL CHEW INTO THE ADHESIVES AND RUIN THE PANEL. a drop or 2 on the driverboard on the rusty spot will be just fine.
What if the lines are the exact same way but horizontal. Would I be able to use the same methods that you just used in this video to fix the horizontal line issue on my screen ??
Watch my videos on fixing with tape for horizontal lines. It’s easier to correct than vertical lines.
Great Video. Start getting me watching repairing video. I bought a Pioneer TV (PN43951-22C) a year ago. But it won't start again now. Trying to look up some TV repairing videos online. Wondering would you have any idea what could help me. Thanks!
Hope you can get it fixed. I hopefully have enough videos on the topic (plus the free e-book) to get you started. You might want to start with the video on what to do if your tv experiences a power surge.
This is exactly what happened to my Samsung Smart TV. A single vertical line on the screen which I think was caused due to spraying glass cleaner on the screen. Now I have to open it up and figure out a way to fix it :). Thanks for the video
Thank you, thank you
Supper bro......
Hello, I watched your video and am hoping that my broken RCA tv has a similar issue to what you posted. If I email you a picture of the tv, could you please give me an idea that is similar to not?
Might a hot air gun at a bit of a distance not repair the poor connection in that ribbon cable if the pencil eraser trick seems temporarily successful? Thank you for the useful video!
Heat might be helpful with the adhesive but it’s the corrosion underneath that is the issue.
Curious if you might have a spare Vizio 91.74Y10.002G mainboard? I can't find one anywhere. 🤔
What model is that from?
Great
I have large grey bars. Do you think this would help with that? If not whats the name for the big grey bars because I can't find people having the same issue
you are very good.
On my new oled tv there are few quite vague vertical lines on some certain static background colors that disappear (and appear) when you move your head. I guess this is a problem with the panel itself?
Why don't you try the GamBoy LCD fix with a soldering iron? It will pretty much work in the long run. I did this already on a TFT years ago.
Simplicity at next level 🤝🏻👌🏻
I have the same issue as the friend that sent you a picture, what is the cause of this? It came out of nowhere and the tv is only about a year old. Im really confused as to why it happened
I have a 50 inch kodak smart tv. The tv screen get lines all over screen sometimes and when i turn of and on it goes away. Any clues boss?
Excellent video! Thanks for all the information! I do have an idea though. Have you tried dragging the soldering iron on the flex cable connection to the board? That's actually how you fix vertical lines on a Game Boy screen. If you do it for short periods of time, the flex should be able to handle the heat.
It is also recommended when using this method
to overlay some PRINTER paper between the
polymer flex ribbon cable and the iron.
This reduces the RISK of damaging the cable.
Uf one has or can obtain some thin TEFLON
sheet - that would be even better -
It has worked well for me - and the BAR attachment
I use is made from BRASS
ANY ENGINEERING WORKSHOP CAN EASILY MAKE ONE
have you ever tried it? It's really easy to melt the ribbon plastic if your heat isn't perfect. (pre-heath the board, if you're going to attempt this.)
Could the original short have caused some of the problems in the form of heating?
Hello.
I have like vertical lines, but only in the bottom of the TV. There is like a 5cm stripe with vertical lines. Any idea what the problem might be, and how to fix if there is a way to fix.
Thank you.
Would using vinegar on the strip maybe dissolve the corrosion, or would that dissolve the bond between the ribbon? Also could hot air or a heat gun maybe rebond it? Or would that melt the ribbon?
I don't know what vinegar would do to the adhesive or the ribbon. I don't think you would want to put something acidic on a pcb anyway. Good thought on heat, I've not had success applying heat to these tv tab bonds so it's possible it could work. I would try to use something more like a soldering iron than a heat gun.
VINEGAR is Acetic Acid - and is corrosive.
There is a paste available - most often used by
Jewelers and watchmakers to remove corrosion
from watches - that have been water damaged.
One can imagine the intricate mechanical parts
in an expensive watch - and removing corrosion
requires special techniques.
The paste is not exactly low cost - BUT one does
not need to use much and not very often -
so a small container won't break the BANK.
I don't have it in front of me right now so I cannot
recall what it is called.
I would recommend watching some Watch repair
videos - and soon enough you will discover what
the paste is called.
Once the corrosion is removed with the paste -
the area can be washed /cleansed with a little
amount of IPA
@@FrugalRepair The vertical line issue presented here is very similar to an issue that occurs on game boy screens. The fix there is to apply heat onto the ribbon using a soldering iron.
Have you seen horizontal lines, on an LG 65" OLED? The lines are on the left (roughly 1/4 of the screen) but they are dancing? Sort of going on and off or acting like a changing graph line. Can you open the back, inspect the T-Con boards, swap the connections to see if the problem changes?
Liked & subbed.. some great info here!
Please!! NOTE!! there IS a big difference between 70% Isopropyl alcohol and 93 to 99% IPA.. ONLY use 93% (or higher) on electronics. 70% is... 30% water!!! This type WILL damage electronics!
I've schooled, worked with and owned an electronic / computer sales / service company (50+ yrs.. ) I'm not crowing, just pointing out & agreeing with your choice of 93% IPA & pointing out something that might have escaped some viewers.
Is vertical lines the same we horizontal lines. Aask is the same way to repear?.
It usually means something else. Watch my tape fixing videos for the explanation
Good Morning to you guys... Please i have a hisense curve 60inch screen that have some vertical lines , How can it be resolved... i am opened to more knowledge.
Is there a way to fix a cracked TV screen? I was looking for replacement screens & couldn't find one. After stumbling across your chanel I started to wonder if it was actually possible to fix it without a replacement.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way. You can replace the screen but finding a replacement really isn't possible unless you steal a panel from another tv that uses the same panel type.
Hello, what you mean on my tv screen have line when on screen have some text. Try your test method disconnected one of two back line cable but didn't work because screen image missing
Big fan sir
Love your work
I have this 55 inch Samsung led
That has what its seems to be horizontal line
I have a short video
If i may share it with you
Can you help me out
Thanks in advance
i thought it was on the chip that causes it to make a vline. is it posible to put heatsink and fan to that mobo?
It’s possible any issue could happen if you are talking about cracked or lifting solder connections under a chip. Those usually would be found on the cpu on the main board. I tried to cover the typical reasons for vertical lines in the video.
30 minutes ago my 47lg70ug just went fuzzy. The menu screens seem completely clear, but no matter what input i change it to, ps4, antenna, xbox the picture was bad. I just swapped TV's for now but I'm going to try this in the next 3 weeks i have off of work. Thanks
Excuse me, could you please advise me? I have a TV screen problem. It seemed to break into a single line in the center of the screen. Can I use this method to fix it? Or where can I send a clip or screenshot of the problem? Please help me.
it was my mistake. At first, it just had a frequent restart, otherwise normal. So I unpacked tv for sure that it's cause of the backlight was really broken or not. then I will order to replace. But after finished assembling and open tv. it is show many colors and a line like a crack in the center of the screen, the restart symptom is still be same Today,I try to open it and take a picture, it becomes black screen, with a bright cracked line in the center of screen.
Definitely saw some corrosion and evidence of substance along the bottom of a big 65inch Samsung but gave up after thinking its the screen, after watching your video today i feel like giving it another go!
Hope the repair goes well!
How did it go?
I think it's a new screen on this one🙁 haven't tried a tcon board or like on some videos changing some dud chips along the LCD strip, but I had luck on a Philips 50inch. It was a different issue no picture at all just wide white strip down the screen, I took out both ribbons and cleaned then put back and hey presto, so far it's come back once and I didn't fancy opening again so I just unplugged for a while and woo hoo it's working so I've stuck it on my bedroom wall, now don't know what to do with the 65inch Samsung. Anyone have a screen for sale haha might have to buy a working one to swap parts and see if it's the LCD, have a great day thanks for asking I nearly forgot about that TV set
@@FrugalRepair
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊❤🎉 Well I did see somebody that he smashed into the TV in the TV was broke
Do you have repair videos for LG OLED TVs? I have a LG 55EC9300 with broken HDMI ports. I got a used main board & had it installed by a TV repair guy. The used board was bad & TV didn’t turn on. The original board was put back in but picture has 2 wide snow bars & 2 wide black bars. TV guy pushed on back panel & they went away but a minute later came back stay on all the time. Any suggestions? ShooJimmy doesn’t have the board. LG wants $310 for new board & $332 for refurbished one.
I have this exact same TV but it's the 42" version and if I leave it turned off for any length of time, when I turn it back on, only the top inch or two of the display will show a proper image, the rest of the display will be blank, after leaving it on for 10-15 minutes, I can turn the TV off and back on and it will start working again... I keep expecting the TV to die but it has worked in this state for a few years now... Any idea what could be happening...?
I wish I could read the comments but the lines go through them lmao
This could be a minie side hustle job to get into on the side. many people at least here IN Aus are giving their TV's away for free, just because of lines, go get TV's fix them then sell them for a couple hundred or what ever:)
Agreed, it could be.
Hello, i have a Sony Bravia KDL40R470B and it is giving 6 red blinks, it was giving 4 blinks i replaced the Tcon board and now i am getting 6 blinks any thoughts as to what i can do. Thanks
I have a tv where half the tv from the top to the middle if there is to much white the screen like flickers and its a perfect rectangle of half the screen doing that in to bright images and some days its fine or maybe if it warmed up fully it wont do that anymore, but im not sure if i have an lcd or plasma.
I noticed we have the same wallpaper border!
You mentioned lines going away when the tv warms up. What if you have the opposite problem where the thick bands show up once the tv has been on for about 15 seconds?
You mean you have a good picture and in 15 seconds or so, the problems show up? That still sounds like a heat related issue and hopefully you can fix it with some non-conductive material under the metal bracket to put some gentle pressure on that tab bond. You can try turning down the LED brightness to something like 10% and see if the tv lasts longer (less heat in the tv). Or you can put a fan on the tv with the cover off and see if it lasts longer to isolate the problem as a heat issue.
You mentioned that the orientation of the lines matters. But what if I've had *both* horizontal and vertical lines? My display developed horizontal lines over the image, as shown in your earlier videos where you tackled the timing sync. But then the next day the display suddenly turned into coloured vertical lines/bands with the proper image being completely gone making the display unusable. So right now, it just has vertical bands, but I know there were horizontal lines yesterday. What kind of problem would this indicate?
If you have done the isolation technique I showed in the tape video then I would suspect a bad panel or tcon board. There is a possibility also, that you have a short to ground on your driver board that's causing the weirdness.
I have the exact same problem like your friend at 1:14. What did he do to fix this problem?
They ended up giving me the tv and I haven't worked on it yet. My guess is the tape trick will work since it seems like a row signaling issue. Have you seen the videos about the tape trick?
i have, i will try that soon@@FrugalRepair
I have wide yellow bands that started after I plugged in a Firestick. It never worked and now I have these yellow bands that start narrow on the right side of the screen when I turn it on, then get wider and eventually the whole screen is like looking through a yellow screen. Of course I removed the fire stick and restarted the tv, etc… nothing fixed it.
If it was the fire stick then I would tend to think the issue is related to the hdmi port. I’d try other non-hdmi ports to see if the issue still persists.
I have that flex cable broken, any solution ? the lines are so tiny
Hi! How to fix end to end horizontal line on a Philips 23 inch led tv? Pls let me know
If one of my yellow connectors/wire is damaged. Is it possible to repair or do I need a new screen?
If you mean the yellow wires that have the tab bond on the driver board then no, you realistically can’t fix that, unfortunately.
Hi, I’ve been searching for solution to my MiTV 4S 55” left side is in full 4K colors but right side display in black & white. There’s nothing on the net about this issue. Done factory reset, hard reset, recovery it’s still the same. Have you encounter this before and is there any solution to that? Thanks
What causes "light electric shocks" you feel when you touch the screen frame ?
If you feel a light tingle when brushing across the frame you likely have a bad earth connection.
Plz Sir, is it possible to repair Qled Tcl broken screen TV?
Does this apply to a Sony a80j? I have a single blue line that goes away or get brighter when I move/ put pressure on it
Yes, it would be basically the same since it’s lcd
Can i apply pressure to the gold tabs while my tv is switched on? Ive got lines an black blobs an white blobs really cant afford to get it fixed so gonna try n do it myself
If you think it’s a vertical line issue then you probably don’t have much to loose.
I have had a Toshiba 50ul2163DB but we have the bottom third of the tv is like pixilated . What can be wrong
What about dancing colors.
My Vizio TV works fine for a while but everything just turns into dancing colors (depends on what image signal is) after awhile. Then in need to turn my TV off and on again. Then it works for a while with good picture until a few minutes later when it bleeds out to dancing colors again.
My tv is on the fritz can you help I can se d a video I.just want to know if I could fix it myself
What is the case to happen this
Hi i just turned on my tv and noticed a 3 inch vortical green line on the right hand side of my tv rest of the tv looks fine is this fixable
Hello my 70” vizio tv has half white and half black screen. Any suggestions how to fix it? This happen after replacing the LED strip lights
My guess is that the tcon cables are not seated correctly. Hopefully an easy fix and not significant damage done to the panel when it was removed to get to the backlights.
I have both my screen it not cracked. It dropped of of the stand what can I do to fix it
hello sir i hade same prob with my lg led, i watch your video and try to remove lines,but there no picture , please please tell me how can i solve
I have a UE50TU8072UXXH samsung TV. Not used for almost three years.
We began to use it recently and suddenly it can't start up.
1-The standby red light keeps going on and off.
2- The back lights keep going on and off within seconds.
3- The output voltages that go from the power supply to the main board are 27 volts instead of 13 volts.(I don't know why).
My questions are:
1-If I replace the power supply ( NB4401054E), will the issue be fixed?
2- Is it possible that the panel is damaged?
Please note that If I disconnect the ribbon that goes to the panel the back lights turn on permanently.
Thank you in advance for your kind response.

I TS ALWAYS THE SAME PROBLEM. ON LG....SAMSUNG
My TV fell today and landed on the corner of the TV stand now about a quarter of the screen doesn't work is there a cheap way I can fix it
You *might* be able to do something if the lcd screen isn’t cracked. You can try reseating connections to the lcd panel, again if it’s not cracked.
Can you help me either my LG 44 inch I knew better not to use windex but I’ve used it before and nothing happened! Well I think I over sprayed my tv screen so now the picture won’t show but it’s still working far as talking but the picture has gone and I don’t know that some fluid may be leaked down somewhere or something. It was dusty so I tried to clean the dust off, but I use Windex probably like three times when I was spraying and wiping it and then all of a sudden my screen went kind of wet lines in it and it hasn’t popped back on yet it’s been like five days can you help me with that or should I just get another TV? Also I don’t think regular viewers are equipped to do all this on the back of the TV that’s a lot especially when we don’t what we’re doing 😂
Sorry to hear. All I would know to say is try to open it up and see what may be going on (like in the video)
Can you repair if the vertical lines are caused by a crack ?
If the LCD is cracked, then you will not be able to fix it. Only replacing the LCD is the option (but they are near impossible to get).
