First of all, I want to start with a big thank you.Our TV, Nu7400, had the same problem. At first, there was an atmosphere of excitement and panic in the house.Then with a little internet searching we came across this helpful video of yours.We have repaired our television by doing the steps you have shown. I'm really thankful that the problem was with the pins.I give a 10 for this helpful video. Good luck in your life.Greetings from Türkiye
We have exactly the same model of tv which had developed the same fault. Opening it without the tool was a bit tricky, but we found that a cutlery knife did the trick ( made sure power was off for safety!!). We put a bit of thin sellotape at around the 10th/11th pin in from the edge on the same area as was shown to be successful in this video. Works perfectly!! I'm unable to see any type of deteriation in overall picture quality, no dead lines or faded areas etc. Your video has done the trick, thanks for posting this video. 👍👍👍
After viewing your video I knew this was my problem also, but I was kind of afraid to fix it myself so I figured I would let a repair shop do the fixing. I explained to him everything and I told him that I know the exact problem and its repair solution. But that POS THIEF wanted to charge me $175,00 dollars. He told me all kinds off bullshit lies. Anyway I decided to try it myself, so low and behold, I fixed it just as you explained it on this video. So I truly and humbly thank you. May God always keep you and family in his blessed care and love. Stay safe, stay strong, good luck and Godspeed always to one and all
Thank you! I fixed my TCL tv that had that problem. The picture was jumping and factory reset did not work. Who would think I could fix my TV with a piece of tape. I am very grateful for you sharing your knowledge. Update - it stayed fixed for about 10 days. Then the problem recurred.
A big Thank You for providing this extremely informative video that has helped so many people solve this issue. I just encountered it two days ago on a Samsung UN50NU6500B TV. I tried every fix I could find posted on TH-cam. Eventually, after giving up, I went to bed, and as I was dozing off, I saw a link to your video. That gave me the motivation to try again the next day. I followed your instructions exactly, and now my TV is working OK again. It's not perfect. There is a slight tinge of blue-green at the upper and lower left corners of the screen but it is very small, and only noticeable when certain colors are in the foreground. I was preparing to fork out 340 dollars for a replacement, (my MIL can't live without her daily dose of crime serials!), but, thanks to your very accurate guidance, all it took was quite literally a tiny sliver of tape 6mm wide and about 2 cm long, exactly where your video indicated.
I just learned the hard way: when opening the case, if you place the prising tool incorrectly, you can break the screen. There is a metal surface inside you need to rest the tool on. The clips are held about 40 to 50mm in from the edge. It's possible to stick the tool down under this metal sheet to the screen and break it easily.
Thankyou so much, was about to give the tv away if anyone wanted to try and fix it then came across the video. It worked!!! And it took me longer to get the back off than it did to fix 😆 saved me a few hundred pound buying a new one!
Great video and explained so well. Can't believe this trick worked. Mine was the other half of the screen but like he said, trial and error. Took me about 20 mins to find the sweet spot. 🙂
Hello, thank you sooo much!! This video saved my Tv ! I was going to change the tv but then I saw your video. PS. a TV technician in Italy couldn't fix it!! 😂 Thanx again for the video! This could help a lot of people!
Ciao, ma in sostanza cosa c è da fare? Mettere un pezzettino di scotch sul connettore e vedere spostandolo se la posizione è giusta per fare smettere lo sfarfallio?
Grazie per questo video! Improvvisamente il televisore ha sfarfallato dopo circa 4 anni senza motivo. Abbiamo seguiti le tue indicazioni e ha perfettamente funzionato, l'immagine è perfetta. Stavamo per buttarla ma poi abbiamo provato a seguire i tuoi consigli. Grazie grazie grazie!!!!!!!!! Sei fantastico
I have the UE50RU7400 which is basically the same tv, only the release year and tv leg differ. This worked great for me and I am very thankful. I could not have come up with this.
This worked for me, thank you so much!! It took a bit of trial and error and I ended up covering some pins on the lower ribbon. It’s been a few hours and no more jumping!❤
After watching your video I shall give mine a try.. I think the problem is that manufacturers design things with a shorter life. I remember the earlier CRT TVs going for 20 years plus, although you did get fading as the phosphorus dot became older
Wow, i can't believe this worked. My TV has been on for 10 minutes now with no jumping picture. The pins I taped we're the opposite to the ones in this video; mine were the bottom ribbon cable, bottom portion. Thanks a million, you've saved me from having to get a new TV for now 😊
@@grantwebster4547 everyday cello tape. Nothing fancy. I found that I didn't need to be that accurate when taping it to the pins, unless I just got lucky. It did take a few attempts to find the affected pins though. The width of the cello tape was about 10 pins long, so about half a cm. (I think). Best trying to get a setup like this guy in the video. I pulled an extension cord that had a switch on it over to the sofa where I had the TV. You'll have it on and off a few times no doubt. I also found that my power cable clicked in, so was quite difficult to remove. In fact I near pulled the board off the TV when trying to remove it. So when removing the power cable, push down on the board to avoid that. Just to confirm, the TV has been on for a total of about 10 hours since I did this, and still no flickering.
@@grantwebster4547 I don't know the whole story, but I'm assuming that the signal coming from those pins is conflicting with something else (perhaps it's out of sync) and causing the flickering. I believe the ribbon cable is only going to the screen, so it's only responsible for picture, but I might be wrong. You'll see that if you cover certain portions of pins, different parts of the screen go black. There's another thread on the Samsung site discussing this problem, and people are finding that certain chips are becoming overheated and they're trying to remove and replace them without much luck. I assume this is a way to disable the signal from those chips without having to remove them. I noticed as well that my TV runs alot cooler now. Before, it was quite warm to touch, especially along the bottom. Whatever this has done, it now runs cooler too. It's worth giving it a go. I was going to end up replacing it soon because of this problem anyway. So I'm looking at it like I've saved myself the cost of a new TV.
😂 just want to give a BIG THANKS. Have a 85in Qled that "had" the same flickering problem. Sure enough the tape fix worked in the same pin position.😊😊😊
Thankyou so much for this, you saved my Samsung TV that had the very same problem from the scrap heap! I tried your method and it works!!!Thank you!!!!
Hello could you tell me how do i fix it exactly, do i just put the tape on the pins i find bad? And when i do that do i put the pins back into place with the tape on? Im 16 years old by the way so i dont know what im doing 😅😅
HI wish to say thank you for the video which is very clear. I have a Samsung TV model no. QE50Q60TAUXXU with the same problem. I tried to cover some pins of the flat cable on the right panel and now it turns on with audio and backlighting on but the screen remains black. when I tried to disconnect just the right side panel cable, the TV turned on but unlike your video, the left side couldn't be seen anyway. What can I do? Grazie Sergio
hi had the same fault sorted it and blocked the pins etc , and about 1 hour later the screen started to jump slightly ?? why would it does this even when the pins are still blocked ?? thanks for yor help
Hi my tv the right of the my tv black. I got this Facebook's market place, the guy seid it left of and rarely used. Then he went to use and only left side came on and the wright side black. Would be led that i need to replace?
No niewiarygodne. Szukam bo mam podobny problem tylko od góry a tu polski serwis :). Spróbuję dziś po pracy to ogarnąć. Ciekawe ile zaoszczędzę jeśli się uda?
Hi, I have the exact tv. My issue was a the reboot every 5 sec. I've covered the pin number 2 from the top ribbon. The issue now is that ther eis no picture on the screen( there is sound and backlight). I would really appreciate if you could please tell me how to fix it. 😊
I tried all you explained in the video, but my screen is still blank, I can see it is turning on as the screen it is turning in dark blue but no image, when i pres menu button on the controler I can hear some audio. I suspect aT con problem, as I read on internet, but I can not find this T con board, could you please guide me where to look for it? Or it may not have a t-con and I just need to change the connection strips? Thank you
is it a case of moving around the cellotape to work out which part of the TV is faulty and block that part out? I have tried a few ways and getting half a TV etc but then cant seem to stop the flickering. please can someone advise?
Leaving comment in hopes someone else has same problem, as I did not try this (little to complicated for me), resolution change & factory reset did not work. I have a screen fast jump (or flicker) up just a small amount, it does it about every 3 seconds, it starts after the Toshiba TV is warmed up. I am using TV as a monitor, and the strange thing is that while in window explorer the top TABS do not jump or move??? If anyone else is having the same problem and finds a fix for it, please leave a reply comment.
I try on 55NU8000, if i disconnect one cable (up or down) full black screen , if i isolate lower connector i see half screen , if i isolate upper connector : no change full screen: Possible not the same connector pinout on 55NU8000??? thx
does anyone know if standard cellotape works for this please? I have been messing around with where to put the cellotape on my pins but seem to be struggling to get it right
I have this TV Sambsung RU7400 under 4 years old and the flickering and jumping starts when it gets warm, about 80 90 minutes. With so many of us saving this problem it must be a bad design fault. I will think again about buying another Samsung.
The problem with this fix is that it is, by definition temporary. It only works because there is "redundancy" in the affected lines between the two sides. If one side goes, the other will most likely follow a few months later. Offload the set on some other poor mug once you've "fixed" it would be my suggestion - and never buy a Samsung set second-hand!

First step fixed a 50’ Samsung tv I found outside my house thank you so much 💕💕💕it works perfect now so glad I found this video🎉
I didnt even count the pins. Just random plonk of tape and worked instantly. Thanks
Your trick fixed my 55" Samsung TV, Thank you!

Just bought a series 7/8 50" for £20 and fixed it using this tutorial. Amazing video bro thank you so much!

Does any tape works
@@Bornilene2 Esatto, io l'ho messo proprio in cima il pezzettino di scotch ed ha funzionato subito. La tv non ha avuto più problemi !
Does it work until now?

I never comment a video on yt, but you saved my tv with this video. Thanks A LOT
This didn’t work for me but for anyone that sees this what DID fix it for me is I switched the two ribbon cables and it works perfectly now.
How much did the ribbons cost?
A big thank you for saving me money. Had the exact problem and fixed within 5 min after watching your video ❤
This worked for mine a few months ago, then it started again. Tried again and it's doing it every time now. New TV for me I guess!
I paid a technician to do this and in a month doing it again. Called them back out and they worked on it for an hour but back again in a couple weeks.
@@davidmadison1087 appreciate the reply. I almost got to the point of paying someone too but I think it's time for a new TV

Thank you very much. It was the same problem with the same solution. 10 pins to cover after the first 15... thank you again😅

@@peagee4625 thanks
Thank you! How did anyone ever think to try that? I was measuring voltages, thermal imaging, spraying cryo, reapplying thermal paste...
Thanks, Worked perfectly, same pins as in your vid.
Greetings from South Africa
I owe u big time mister! This worked for me
Awesome fix my man! Hopefully it stays fixed.
I hope so too
Thanks for this. I have absolutely no idea how this works but it did for me, like many others. Not sure how long it will last but ok for now.

Amazing, thank you! I have another Samsung that is dimmer on the bottom half of the screen than the top. Any fixes?
Amazing you are A genius man 😊

Excellent video, many thanks
Nice job my friend 👍

A lot of thank you in the comments but no one mentioned how long their fixed tv lasted.
Grazie x il tuo video, ho fatto esattamente come hai fatto tu, ed il mio Samsung e tornato perfetto. Ciao.
you welcome
I see your tape is yellow does it matter? Can I use clear tape sorry for dumb question
Thanks. I got it to work but the image quality seems a bit under 1080p now. Can I just change the ribbons entirely?

What kind of tape needs to be used?
Does this work for a single vertical line on my samsung ?...
Thanks. It help me
What tape did you use to cover the pins. And does it matters?
Cello tape worked fine
I believe he is using Kapton tape
Thanks for the video, but why this happens? And how to avoid it ?
Samsung should be called out for this kind of nonsense!!!
yes agree 100% they should take responsibilty for this.

How tf you removed this goddamn back cover?
But how do you know where to put the tape?
How many pins off?
Very common trouble in flat-screen tv
Thanks
I have only one cable in my TU8000. How to fix?
Where did u fix those tvs?
Ireland, co.wexford
I tried evry single pins, but nothing works is it important what tape and how much pins u cover?
@@ridas_ltu2294 most likely you screen is not possible to fix anymore, sometimes its just not fixable.
Problem flat sostitution
The problem with this fix is that it is, by definition temporary. It only works because there is "redundancy" in the affected lines between the two sides. If one side goes, the other will most likely follow a few months later.
Offload the set on some other poor mug once you've "fixed" it would be my suggestion - and never buy a Samsung set second-hand!
That's not the fix,there is no tape on the ribbon cables
