Do you have more questions about how LCDs work?
I'm from Indonesian your video is very good but I don't understand English. Please translate it into Indonesian.thanks
@@yusakchannel6473 I wish I knew how my friend. I am sorry. Let me know if you know a way I can translate it. Maybe you can find an english speaking friend to help you.
@@FrugalRepair ok thanks my friend.
@@FrugalRepair Is there anyway to direct message you? I'm having a unique issue with an lcd tv that I'd really love your help with. I've searched for weeks to find a right direction to go in and your tape methos seems like it could help my my problem is a little unique from what I can gather.
@@FrugalRepair my issue is from top to bottom on the right hand side of the screen, about 5 inches wide. Every so often it'll flicker black and white horizontal lines. The TCon board is built into the mainboard. Ive tried 4 new boards and 2 new PSU. If I change the ribbon cables the issue will switch from the left to the right side of the screen. 1 long and 1 short cable the problem will be on both sides. 2 short cables it only happens on the right. Its very intermittent.
I can’t believe it. I fixed it. You saved me hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a new tv. I had barely had this one for more than a year. I’m so relieved.
Is your TV still working
You saved me from being deceived by reformers, I live in Jordan, and no one understands these things well, and you have to pay a lot of money. Thank you
Glad to hear it helped!

I have lines that are almost transparent and move do you know how to fix this lg phone screen problem
Thank you for figuring this out. You are a great person. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you for the encouragement!
Extraordinaria forma de explicar una solución y, al mismo tiempo enseñar como funcionan las pantallas lcd. eres un buen ser humano. Muchas gracias God bless you
I bought an LG cinema 3d TV for $50 at a thrift store. It was made in 2013. It was brought in because, although it worked OK, it had some fine horizontal lines on the left of the screen. Before purchasing it, I remembered something about the problem from a You Tube video I saw a while back (Your one!). I took a chance, brought it home, reviewed your video again, used the trial and error technique to identify the problem lines, taped 'em up and BAM, the lines are now gone! The picture is now perfect. I can enjoy my 3d movies again. Thank you so much!
Wow, that’s so great to hear! Congratulations!
Thanks for such a great explanation I have never seen someone explain about this problem so well and organized
Glad it was helpful!
Hi am so happy to meet someone like u on TH-cam that knows so much and explain stuff well. I have some problems with electronics.
Thanks so much for making these videos! I looked around for repair insights like this back in march, but glad I kept the broken TV "just in case".
Also, your continuity test "swipe" at around 5:25 was really reassuring, as I would've worried I could short something else out by just probing those tiny traces at random. Thanks especially for that!
Thanks! I hope you can get your TV repaired.
@@FrugalRepair Hey bud, my TCL qled panel got damaged , my son threw a hanger at the screen, there was a crack and white vertical lines about 2 inches in that region, after a month of r&d the tcl person gave me a about 200$ quote, now my question is how can i figure out whether he has fit a qled panel or a UHD panel
@@ktolwal If TCL quoted a price lower than new purchase price of an entire similar TV, there must be a misunderstanding. LCD panels always cost more than a new TV especially considering shipping and installation. To answer the question, There is only one specific panel for a given TV, no substitutions.
Thanks commentor you can be frank too
Its refreshing to hear a clear spoken video, not 50 oks n yeas...your a breath of fresh air.... thanks I look forward to watching your videos.... this Bob
Thanks for watching!
so far this is the most detailed tv repair tips and explainations, thank you sir.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for describing the relationship between the transistor and capacitor and the vertical and horizontal exchange of data and frequency band
You saved tons plastic + e-waste, some smart guys definitely be using this trick.
Thank you very much for sharing the engineering behind the TV signal. This is really very good. I learn so much from such a short video. Awesome!
Thanks for watching!
DUDE, YOU JUST SAVED MY TV! It was working only 2 years and lines apeared 1 month after warranty end. I tried to fix it, but diagnosed its faulty matrix and was about to throw it out. Today i tried using tape on random pins, and it works like new! THANKS A LOT FOR THIS VIDEO
That’s so great to hear! Congratulations on the fix.
@@FrugalRepair Sir I have a 55 inch vu led tv which hai horizontal lines in it and tried to fix it with tape but I believe I cannot find where to put the tape. Also when I remove one of the strip from t-con board the other part of the screen didn't go black like yours did. So is this normal or there is some problem with the panel ?
Amazing video man! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. I spent way too many hours on this when you summed it up in mins. Other videos wouldn't go down to the details that you did, leaving for an incomplete understanding. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers from Brazil. I took me 3-4 hours cutting tapes stripes and checking results, but I’m the end it was fixed 100%. I checked your video about the LCD patent also. Amazing video - the best I find out. Very very good! Thank you again… my SONY 4K 65 inches is back on track! Great!
Great to hear! Congratulations.
You’re explaining this more in depth!!!! Thanks!!! But I would really really want to repair the clock signal...I love too much my TV and want to learn more about replacement components.
Thanks! My guess is that the problem is somewhere embedded in the panel. Maybe with the right tools you could get in there without damaging the panel. It would be tricky though. I would like to have a full schematic of the panel, that might help to pinpoint where the issue is.
@@FrugalRepair I saw some guys on YT repaired it by cutting the connection on the board it self instead of using tape. I have a Samsung I got for free a 42'' inch or so, bought a Panasonic for 60 euro's a good one and 12 euro's for the remote. I have the feeling older tv's lasted much longer than the flatscreen do, they are just a throw it away. My mom bought in the 80's a Schneider that had an ITT tube, worked for 17,5 years constantly on, many people told us, it was trash, well known brands were gone sooner than our tv set.
I can’t thank you enough! So awesome! Found the rows, cut the tape and the tv works perfect!
Awesome! Congratulations and thanks for coming back to let us all know.
hi. which area need to put a tape
I've watched a few videos about using the tape trick, but have always been mystified how it works. Thanks for explaining.
You are such a nice guy for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks a million from Perth Western Australia!
Thanks! I want to help as many as I can to be inspired to tackle projects themselves and repair things rather than throw them away.
Looking forward to trying this with my Samsung 65”. Thanks for all your knowledge. Stay safe.
Hope it works! Let me know how it goes.
Took me a while to decipher the signals but managed to figure it out. Really good video 👍
Congratulations! That’s great to hear.
Well done. Your intense and thorough studies paid off. I looked at so many fake rubbish videos I almost gave up. Thanks for the real answer.
Thank you for your kind words.
Thanks so much for this video,I found it yesterday,and it helped me fix the flickering of my Toshiba 3D 40inch that I have packed and dump since January this year 2020 and was trying to sell it off for less than $50 dollars still no one was willing to buy which I am now so grateful no one bought it😀😀 now my 4yrs old daughter is so happy she got her own TV now😍😍.thank you thank you thank you.
Amazing!!! Really..I have a two year old IFFALCON LED TV 55inch. All of a sudden it started having horizontal moving lines. As usual I called the customer care and a service tech visited my home. He said the panel is gone.Replacing it will cost about 85% of new tv cost. That's when I found your video and thought will give a try. I don't understand electronics or anything. I couldn't read whatever is written on the board.I tried the try and error and VOILA!! My tv is now working. There are few black lines in bottom left. But I don't mind those few lines in such a big tv.Even 4k looks good only. So thankyou sooooo much.
Great job!
Really great information. I love technology and love fixing electronics. I will be watching more of your videos, thanks for making and sharing them!
Thanks. That’s great that you like fixing electronics! What have you been working on lately?
@@FrugalRepair My Vizio SmartTV has horizontal, fuzzy lines but it has a vertical roll as well. So this may not do the trick but I thought I'd try your trick with the tape (maybe need to block some of the Vertical connections as well?)..... I would take apart Halloween and Christmas decorations as a kid to get the motion sensor or lights to work again. Most of the time just taking connections apart and putting back together did the trick. And I fix cell phones here and there. But I love taking apart electronics to diagnose and fix them. I never knew how the pixels in an LCD worked, so cool to have someone explain it other than, "It's magic" (What my electronics engineering teacher told me about how radio signals work). Needless to say, I did not care for that teacher. Thanks again
Fascinating! So well explained, I loved it and explained it to my wife after I'd fixed our TV with tape. Thsnk you!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for showing us the easiest way of repairing tv. God bless you.
this is very useful especially to those people with a tight budget.
Thank you very much for this video. My LG 42UB820V developed the same fault as described in your video. I located which side was causing the issue and identified the clock pins (there was 8 from pin 3 to pin 10 on the ribbon). Small piece of sticky tape over the 8 pins and all back to normal. What an incredible fix, sheer genius!!
Hey, how did you locate the faulty pins?
Brilliant video. Perfect way to get technology translated into a understandable &
simple way. Excellent indeed !!
Thank you for your kind words!
This is the most detailed video on how modern led TVs work. pixel level detail. awesome. please make more videos
Thanks! I plan to! Let me know if you have any suggestions. Next video is about my diy solar install.
I repaired my Samsung KS8000 with that method , The TV was turning on and off all the time then input a tape : trial and error with the help a Spanish video . I glad that you explained what I did in English .
Great to hear! Congrats on the repair.
Awesome, i just discovered your channel yesterday and now I'm wondering what do you do with all of these repaired TV's?
I hope you’ve enjoyed the videos! Haha, I have lots of TVs. But some are friends that I fix for them, some I might give away, some we keep, some I might sell.
Really enjoying your premiere plan face cam, production quality at it's best.
Dude! Thanks for the explanation!
Picked up a free Samsung smart TV and watch two videos showing to use tape but they didn't show the fault finding process, now I'm off to give it a try.
Thank you for making this video with clear explanations. I used to work in lcd panel factory in Taiwan as a HR, but the factory R&D never taught me such a useful tip, even though I may not be able to open the cover, test the voltage, and fix it by myself. Still thanks anyway.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Rhys.. I have a question.. When you do a continuity test on the signal lines, cant that damage the sub pixels ? I am not sure what the average multimeter puts out for a continuity test or what voltage the sub pixels are running at so could the meter output cause secondary damage ?.
I love your videos! I'm glad you're putting this information out there. Now I just need to find a broken LCD TV!
Thanks! Hopefully you can get one soon to work on. People seem to throw out or give away repairable TVs all the time.
Just make sure the lcd isn’t cracked and you should have a really good chance of fixing it.
@@FrugalRepair I have a toshiba that was perfect until it was carried upstairs. Now there are horizontal lines all over the screen. Do you have any tip for this?
heavy amount of info, pristine job my friend pristine. Excellent
Man !!!
You are legend !
Ive been banging my head with lvd ribbon cable, even swapped tcon board but couldn't figure out whats going on.
Your explanation answered my question..and ur method worked 100%.
For me (Samsung 50" smart) it was the last set of 7 lines in right ribbon cable (if looking from rear of TV)
I did like 20-25 hit and trials of 7 lines wide tape and finally hit the exact set of lines !
Thank you so much brother, you earned some prayers from me :)
That’s so great to hear! Thanks for sharing and congratulations.
Fantastic video.
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
Thanks!
Reese!! You are awesome!! Quick, lots of info and you speaka my language!! Even your intro is short and to the point!! Thanks
😀
Thanks for watching!
I tried this method with my LG 75UH6550, There was marking on the board itself that said which pins were clock pins, so I taped them off and it worked!! The tape was about the same width and at the same place as in the video. Thank you for making this video, it saved my Superbowl Sunday!
Congratulations on the fix! And just in time for the Super Bowl!
FINALLY the Louis Rossmann of LCD TVs!! Your last video troubleshot a TCL LCD, I just had a 43" 4k TCL flicker then the backlight seemed to fade out on the right side. I see the image across the entire screen however it gradually gets darker the further to the right. Any troubleshooting suggestions or can you perhaps create a video on how to repair / troubleshoot backlighting on LCD panel? Big thanks, thumbs up and sharing your channel.
I feel honored being compared to Louis Rossman. Thanks for the comment and share! Did you get my pdf? I have a led backlight suggestion in there. Sounds like you need to replace some of the LED modules. I’ll create a video sometime, I’ve got a pile of free TV’s people have given me.
@@FrugalRepair Joined the email list but have not received the pdf.
Let me know if you haven’t received it. It takes a few minutes to send out after someone subscribes.
@@FrugalRepair I received the link, thank you! I've tried dimming the brightness as suggested but the dimmed side is dropping in brightness as well. I would expect the bright side to match the dark side when decreasing the brightness at some point IF a backlight LED was out. When the startup screen appears after a hard restart the entire screen is PERFECT for 2 seconds, then the dimmed area appears. Possible power/short issue I wonder? Any suggestions would be awesome, thank you.
Good to hear you got the link. What you are describing sounds like there is at least one shorted LED module on the darker side. The reason you get full brightness at boot up is that the power supply ramps up the voltage all the way and then the short circuit happens to take it out some others LEDs (maybe it's localized to one of the LED strips).
+FrugalRepair Thank you for the explanation. I had seen people using tape, but they did not explain WHY. I have an electrionics degree, struggling to understand why blocking signal fixed a screen issue. You have shown the theory behind the repair. Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
Been looking for a fix for my tv for a while. Was about to give up and replace it. Good as new now. Thanks a lot!
Congratulations! That’s great to hear.
Videos are getting better each time Rhys! Great job!
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it.
Hey bro how can I tell if it's the screen have a problem
You're a legend! thanks for sharing your knowledge. Question: can you change a broken LCD panel from a different brand or model? Is that possible?
Thanks! Yes you can replace an LCD on the TV, but the issue is that it has to match what the timing control board is outputting. That is, all of the signals must match on both sides.
Yes you can, you need to check that vcc is the same, also, if the screen has an lvds cable or ribbon cable you need to check if they are the same kind, for example there are screens that are milimetrical so they have only one ribbon cable to the tcon this cable had like 50 lvds line or more, also you need to check if the screen had the same ratio, you cant replace a 60hz screen with a 120hz screen unless you have a converter, also they need to be same size, inches are not standar for every screen, you can have two 42" screens but one can be 2 or 3 milimiter bigger. Sony is compatible with samsung and lg is with any chinese screen
Good job!Looking forward to a video, where you talk also about vertical lines issues and possible fixes.
Thanks! I do have a TV that has vertical lines so maybe I will make a video sometime. Great suggestion. The jerry rig solution many times for that is to put non-conductive material on top of one of the electrical connections and force it down by screwing the frame down on it to create pressure on it.
@@FrugalRepair i have a vertical lines can you please make a video??
Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully this will work out and I get my screen back. Wish me luck. I will update with the outcome.
I've glad to know that someone explained this issue I thought the screen was built with problem defect after a few years however I still would like for you to explain how to deal with those TV that does not have t con on board and the lvds cable is connect directly to the screen with buffer board do you cut
This actually worked for me! Thank you!
I had a single pixel-length black horizontal line a third way down from the top of my Samsung TV, that faded as it went from left to right. After placing a mm of electrical tape on the 15th trace on the ribbon connected to the TCON board, it got rid of it. The only complication like you mentioned at 7:20, I have faint lines from top to bottom accross my TV, but they're barely noticeable unless I am standing 3 feet or closer.
Congrats! That's great.
Hey Cam. How did you narrow it down to the 15th trace?
@@therealeffingdeal A lot of trial and error. I just kept blocking 2 traces at a time until I noticed a difference on the screen.
@@camokid95 im working on a QLED with a single line across the screen. I don't want to block off half a dozen tracks and loose picture quality since I reason that is likely a single trace that's the issue.
How does your picture look with your fix? Do you see any diminished picture quality in the trouble area?
@@therealeffingdeal It appears diminished, but not that noticeable from a distance. You should only block the trace relevant to the line that's a showing the dead pixels.
When all you wanted was to fix a tv but you come out as a tv expert
Thank u so much. With this knowledge I was able to fix my JVC 48 inch TV. Highly appreciated. 👍
I just fixed a three-year-old Vizio M558-G1 by applying the opposite logic on the image vs control lines. Vertical lines dominated the picture, and removing the TCON cables revealed the problem to be on the left-hand side. From your video, wherein you pointed out image data is vertical and control/timing data is horizontal, that told me I had an image information issue. Before then, I had no idea which pins to cover. That data limited the shorted vertical image processor to one of six on the right and I inferred that meant six control lines. Covered them all, and the picture came back immediately with a shadow in the lower left corner. I then started working one at a time, starting with line 6, then 5, and *bingo*, the picture was back with no flutter. I put it back together and it has been running perfectly for about four hours now. You just saved me $1,600 I was getting ready to plunk down on an LG G2!! ❤️
Thanks for the insight, I managed to repair my LG TV, that I was just about to throw away, with just a little piece of tape! Awesome!!
Congrats!
Hi, I have been checking out your videos and thanks for sharing the quick diagnostic tips. I have an issue and still cannot locate the problem. My issue is the screen goes dark between 6-12 minutes with no noticeable lines on the screen and I have already tried swapping the t-con board. I went as far as outline the front screen off to check the LEDs and they function so I am starting to hit a wall and if you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them!
Sounds heat related to me. Did you try turning the brightness down to 10% and see if it lasts longer? Or even put a fan on the vents of the tv to keep it cool?
@@FrugalRepair I have not but this will be the next attempt, ty for the reply!
New subscriber. Long time listener. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
First I would like to thank you for the simple and excellent explanation.I have a Panasonic Fhd tv which started showing the horizontal lines. I opened it and found the t con board which was surprisingly an lg board ,identified that the left half was the reason for the horizontal lines and the tape actually fixed it.
I have a question though where actually is the problem,is it the led panel or the t con board ?
This is awesome! What if you wanted to actually fix the problem though? Is this issue caused by a bad resistor, cap or chip?
Could try opening the TV & replacing the T board & screen tape but it's probably cheaper & easier to get another TV
The man the myth the legend 🚫🧢
Not quite, but hope you enjoyed it!
Just come across your video, it has saved me. My tv was exactly this and a little bit of tape sorted it out. Thanks bud 👍
Awesome! Congratulations on the repair.
haven't done this yet but man this really help me understand how monitor and to troubleshoot this problems.
If you use trial and error again, like you did in another of your videos, could you find which exact line or lines were causing the malfunction? Therefore, wouldn't less tape blockage boost the signal by chance? Thanks again for your content! I'm trying to fix horizontal lines on a TV given to me.
Finding the exact cause can be tricky because it is likely something not visible (or accessible) inside the lcd assembly. So you need to do trial and error diagnostics from the outside (ie mess with the row signals) to try to narrow it down. The row signals are individual so there isn't a boost, per se. It's a bit complicated to explain but that's what I was hoping to do in this video, lol.
Hi Reese. Thanks for sharing such valuable insights with us! I have an issue with my LCD where I see horizontal waves. They're moving continuously from bottom to top and are particularly noticeable with dark backgrounds. Do you have an idea of what the issue might be?
I’d try the diagnosis in these videos. You’d want to isolate if the issue is in the lcd panel or on the tcon
In the Navy we called it jerry-rigging and it did the job. Thanks for the great video. It's saved as my tutorial for upcoming LCD surgery.
Such a great video. Not sure how I missed it. I may have to employ this technique on a 65" LG that has some screen issues.
Hope you can get yours repaired!
I definitely just started covering and uncovering lines on the board until i got a good picture and it worked lol 😂 thanks ! Merry Christmas!
Congratulations! Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you for making this wonderful video that plainly explain how a LCD monitor works. I enjoyed watching both parts.
I repaired a few monitors in the past simply by replacing components without fully understanding how the monitor performed the signal processing part. I guessed my luck ran out when I got a panel displayed everything in BGR instead of RGB while appeared to be intact. I have been stumped for awhile trying to look for known cases with similar issues, but I think I didn't even know how to ask the right questions. It's nice to finally know what to look for!
Thanks!
Hi Sir,
I am Rao from India.
I did as you described and solved the issue of horizontal lines.
Thank you 😊.
Thank you so much...my husband tried this and it works very well now.Thank you from Trinidad
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹👍👍👍🙌🙌👏👏
Wonderful!
should've watched this long time ago,one of my sisters always ahve a big flat screen with lines and they always just throw them or just leave it laying around unused
HI @FrugalRepair. Thank you for answering my question on your part 1 video. I have another :) How did you correlate the pcb labelling for the clock lines to what pins they are on the cable? Example, which pin is STVP? And then there is the rest of the CKV lines. The one I am looking at trying to fix I also see the labes printed on the circuit board but how does that tell me what pins they are on the connector? Hope I make sense. Thanks again
I’m not sure how to tell you exactly, but you should be able to see the traces grouped together, that’s a clue. Usually they are printed really close to the trace. You can also do a continuity test from a test point (if labeled) to the pin
Omg it worked i cant thank you enough i really wanted to buy a tv for my room but i spent my money on a pc i recently got a free lg 32" tv from adverts i spent 2 days troubleshooting and now it works you really inspire you i cant thankyou enough for your info i want to do electrical engineering or repair when im older and i have leared so much from your video keep up the incredible work
I’m so glad to hear you fixed the picture on the tv. Congratulations!
I should have watch this video years ago. Thank you very much for this very informative video. excellent!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I've fixed 4 different models of LCD tv's with one simple solution. Remove the back cover of the tv, take a good can of compressed air, and blow out as much of the dust as possible.
Make sure to concentrate around all the capacitors. And I'll guarantee you 80% of the time, this will fix your issue and the lines will disappear.
So try this fix before contacting a repair centre, or even replacing the tv.
Thanks
80% of the time it works every time. lol
Your kung Foo is strong 💪. My respect gladly 💯.
Thanks!
Thanks for the explanation. I “fixed” mine a number of years ago and couldn’t understand why it worked.
You used the blocking method on the row signals?
Great videos! I do have an issue with my LCD though. I lost picture but had backlight. So I replaced the T-Con board. Got my picture back and now I am dealing with horizontal lines. I was hoping this video would help unfortunately my T-Con board doesn't seem very easy to determine where any circuit are going to. When I change the volume though it shows up in the upper right hand corner (the current volume), well that is bleeding into the horizontal lines. Each time I move the volume I can see the line changing slightly in the same space. Would you happen so have any thoughts on what it could be? Perhaps one of the driver boards for the panel? Any help is greatly appreciated! Keep up the great content!
Thanks it’s really interesting , also got problems with T-con board the tv was turned black white. I replaced the all board bc the chip only wasn’t available ...
Anyway think the board is fixable, the LCD himself probably doesn’t have problems.
Thanks! I hope you can figure it out.
This is very interesting I always like messing around with electronics and things that are complicated to fix I have a nice Sony and I'm going to try this and I will let you know what happens thank you for sharing
I hope it goes well!
Thank you for the video! My Sony Bravia has a double image issue. The T-Con board has only one FFC cable. Thinking of blocking the lines with a tape, would it work? What are the possible long-term issues? Also, how long would this tape method work, can I have a decent picture for 3 months?
Anyone else have horizontal lines and vertical lines? 😭
I do
Expectation: 'How to fix a dead TV with a single piece of tape'
Reality: Most complicated video I've ever seen
jejeje. 10/10 video, will try when I have some time to kill
LOL, thanks!
Thank you for this information. I did fix my LG TV with this.
Thanks for the hack! This did fix an horizontal line I had on my 4k TV. Only issue is afterwards I get some faint horizontal lines across but not very noticeable.
For the tape I winged it and guessed right by trial and error and it seemed to do the trick!
Awesome! Congrats.
My lines are horizontal and they happened randomly I’m so scared
same thing happened to me what did you do ??
Dude... I majored in EET, and all I can say is well done! I'm digging into my old Vizio M50-C1 soon. Has a backlight but no image, yet hitting the input button shows something is changing on the screen. Need to play ribbon cable bingo here! XD
Wow, such a quick and very efficient fix.... I was playing around multiple different sections until the has fixed. I am just curious as to what is the downside on the quality? I am yet to find an issue!
Thanks so much!
hi man ive used the blocking technique before but didnt know how to get rid of the lines but your explanation is a big help. can you explain how to fix double image / flickering image please.thanks
The most logical explanation on why does tape "fix" TCom board problem! :)
The problem is actually on the LCD in most cases, not on the tcon.
@@FrugalRepair Thanks!!
Thanks for this video, it worked and was quite easy to do. You saved me a new TV at over €1000! One question though, I now have a horizontal single black line that pulses on and off for a few seconds at a time. Since its only one line I can live with it, no problem, but was wondering why and if it is repairable. Thanks again
Congratulations on the repair. Not sure about the line, likely it’s part of the internal lcd issue your screen is having. You might be able to minimize it with blocking a different row signal. But if you’ve tried all of the combinations then that may be the best you can get.
i have a 2017 Samsung TV (UN43MU6300F) that i was about to trash before i found this video. might as well open it up and give this a shot! thanks for making this.
Great Video, and great explanation. Is fix like this ppssible in oled tv's with horizontal Black lines. Thanks
Thank you so much!! You saved me a tv! And I learnt something new today. Thanks for your time and effort! ❤🎉
Glad to hear it was helpful!
I waited for 2 years to find a solution for my 55EX720 3D TV double image problem, and today I managed to fix the issue, as suggested by using a tiny strip of cellophane tape. Thank You.
Congrats on the repair!
This makes the odd line I see (in the same place) on my 50" TV. It only appears using the Roku function. None of my DVD/Blu-Rays/etc. are fine. But now I think I know. :) Thanks a bunch!
Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks.
Have a Samsung UN55NU7100FXZA Model that kept recycling on and off. The standby LED would blink twice before it recycles again. This method you describe also worked to resolve this issue...It was also the screen on this model that was causing this issue. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Good narration, with experimental, I like your video
