Wow, never expected it can be repaired by taping the contacts. So contraintuitive, but worked as a charm =) Thank you from end of 2023!!
Thanks for the video Dave! Hubby watched and followed your instructions exactly. Took him about 20 minutes from disassemble to reassemble. So far picture looks good as new. So glad we don't have to buy a new tv. Thanks again!
Absolutely worked a treat. We have the 46" model, and the problem was the horizontal 'shadow lines' and also a few rows of dead black pixels. When playing with the ribbons, I found that unplugging the left ribbon (right when repairing) resolved the issue on the other side of the screen. I tested with a 2mm wide piece of tape moving over different pins, and found that some of the pins about 2/3rds the way along solved the issue completely. Can't thank you enough!
I just fixed my TV! Thank you, you are great! Never thought this method could work, it seems so random until it works...
Just had to do this to my TV. Thank you so much for posting this video. 5 years later and it’s still helping people.
Thank you for this video found a 55' Samsung from 2010 on the side of the road. It had this problem, got the image almost perfect and now I got myself a bigger and better tv for free :)
Mr Dave, please receive my deep respect and gratitude for your advice!! I, the weakest technician from the world i just fix it my Samsung LCD 32 inch TV!! I've just take it back today from an expert that told me that the panel is gone and I must to replace it... Many, many THANKS!!! Your rock!!
+Bogdan Nadolu YOU ROCK!!
brilliant, just fixed a tv with this video, picture is now looking perfect after a bit of trial and error with the tape, i taped about 5mm wide close to left edge but still had some contacts showing. What i don't understand is how this works, i would have thought taping over contacts would make the picture worse, so a bit baffling how taping over contacts makes it better, but hey it worked!
Cannot believe that this fixed our double-picture problem!! Thank you so much.
Well, I was very sceptical when I saw the video that a small piece of tape could fix the double image on my LG tv. I just gave it a try and it worked right away. Thank you very much.
Just checked this video out, having ghosting problems on my LG 3D smart tv. I have to say im impressed because it worked. My TV model 42LM640T-ZA. Great video.
holy shit..it took the second try but holy shit..I've been having it like this for 5+ years now...the top half of the screen had a double image and pictures would look weird....and its just an immense breath of fresh air...its so clear..thank you so much...I really appreciate this....
Thanx very much for this video. Just bought a Samsung LE40A558 model lcd tv on the flea market here in the UK for 40 pounds that had bad vertical and horizontal lines and double image. I guess you can imagine the picture what it looked like.
Using your method loosening up the left side ribbon (facing the screen) and just re-seating it fixed it. I didn't use the tape, but just undid the clip holding the ribbon, pulled it out and while watching the screen started to play with and voila, the screen became clear and line and double image free. Good Job. Hope it'll help others as well.
ALRIGHT John Benak that's what I'm talking! Thank you for posting.
BRO YOU MY HERO !!! lol if u ever come to montreal the beer is on me for the whole week lol :P thanx again !!!
haha
It worked!! I am so amazed. We contacted several TV repair people and it was not looking good. Thank you for your easy instructions.
This video is a lifesaver!! My screen was sporting horizontal lines and garbeld image. Put a piece of tape on the same ribbon cable and fixed it completely! Thanks man!!
Thank you! This is what I love the internet for, thank you for the time and extra-work to make this video! 👍💚
After an hour I got it aswell, but for me it was the right cable and I needed to place three layers of three millimeters wide pieces of office tape underneath and not on top, I pushed it down and lifted it and realized it must be the contacts on the most left or most right, the and connectors are mirrored. Thanks again 👍
I just want to thank you your video saved my TV TODAY !!!
Thanks alot Dave for the video. My TCL TV had an issue with double pictures. Your video helped me diagnose the problem and fix it myself, saving me $800 for purchasing a new TV. Thanks a million.
Dude!!!! That’s some JFM stuff right there! Tried it on my Bravia which has that issue, thinking this is way too good to be true... I’ll tell you this, it works like a boss! It was a bit of a schlep finding the affected pins and width of tape, but it was absolutely worth it!
Thank you so much! We tried this diy repair and it worked! Super easy too, just took some patience and a gentle touch like you said. 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you found this video helpful.
OMG THANK YOU!!! It worked for me!! I had to move the piece of tape around till i found the right spot. I still cant believe this worked. THANK YOU!! SUSCRIBED!!!
Sounds like you have a bad T-CONN board
Thank you! Our TV had double vision but only on the bottom half of the screen. Slightly different process for our 2018 Q7 but essentially the same and for whatever reason, that tiny bit of tape fixed it - amazing!
Tried it , patience is the key , follow the instructions and you have your TV . Your are the best. Will be now testing this
Hey Dave :-) I just wanted to thank you for this video. I did it today! It worked like a dream! Only 2 tape adjustments and pic is perfect! You are a blessing. Thank you again. V
Amazing :-)
Thankss for your video!I was fix the problem on my tv with model ua40d5000
THANK YOU! i did it with an LG that had a line issue with a bit of flickering and it worked! thank you very much
Thank you for posting this vid. I have the same problem couple of days ago and now my tv is fix.
Thank you, I fixed my tv.
Woooow... So I found this Samsung TV in the dumpster at my apartment and it had the double image problem. As an electronics hardware technician I have no idea how covering up contacts will fix the image... But sure as shit it does, first try too!! Thanks man!!
Me tooooooooooooooo
Correct me if im wrong but.... there are resistors that go bad "or do something" short maybe ? on the board that the t-con feeds into and the pins your covering up are basically the "bad" resistors
@@Abels-Adventures I saw video's where the connector lines on the board were cut with a sharp knife and it solved the double image aswell, other use solder to bridge connector on the board 4 of them and that works too. th-cam.com/video/LKCb7K1jrOA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video, I've had the horizontal line problem for a last few weeks and decided try this fix. Like you said, it did take a little time to get the size of the tape right and in the correct location but it worked like a charm. Still can't figure out how covering a small portion of the pins/contacts on the ribbon cable could be a fix, but it sure does the trick. Your video was nicely done and very easy to follow.
YOU ARE A GENIUS! Thank you sooo much for this smart tutorial!
I fixed a my Samsung at the 2nd trial! It took me 10 minutes!
Brilliant!
thanks, with your help i’ve fixed my tv.
only small suggestion put the tape a bit after the beginning of the connector.
i love my samsung tv and thanks again for the awesome video
Can you show me for taping the terminals and how many terminals will be taped ?Thank you
man you are aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome !!!! it worked for me exactly the same
thank you for the lovely explanation
This absolutely worked on my 55" LED TV. It took a lot of patience and 8 or 9 pieces of tape and I finally got it right. Thank you so much for posting this video!
What do you think of this guy's technic? Which one is better to fix double image on my Samsung 2011 UN40C6300SFXZA ? th-cam.com/video/iHQoMqRA4CA/w-d-xo.html
Dave, you are not only a genius, but also a gentleman, a scholar, and a huge dollar saver. I walked into my house tonight after a long week at work, and my wife says "Not good, something is wrong with the TV". And it was the dreaded double screen that I had never heard of before. After following your video, it is working great. I could not get the UN40D6000 to power on during the repair, and rolled the dice with a comment about covering 16 pins with the tape. Put her all back together, and she is working great. Just in time for Ole Miss football tomorrow. Many many thanks.
+jivemaster55 Im very glad you found this video useful. Thank you so much for watching.
wow i fixed my TV SAMSUNG UE50ES5000 following this video.. i had horizontal lines at the bottom with some ghosting...did exactly the same with the tape on the ribbon cable etc... THANKS
I found people who cut some lines near the connector on the board itself so it doesn't make connection. I am planning to try to solve the problem on my Samsung UE40D6200, Samsung has become rubbish.
It worked for me! Can you explain why this works? Its crazy covering up contacts actually remedies the problem. Thumbs up to all your videos! You saved so many people lots of money. Thanks a huge amount!
Zilnich Productions thank you. I'm glad you found this helpful. I don't know exactly why it works. Some people have posted that static electricity builds up on the connections and causes the double image, and by applying the tape it acts as a insulator preventing the static electricity to build up.
Wow. The thing that makes me wonder is, I actually replaced my t-con board, the ribbon cables and the power supply. None of that worked. The little piece of tape worked though. It almost seems the problem is elsewhere and for some reason this remedies it. Where did you find out about this anyway?
I found another video from Brazil and followed along the best I could as I don't speak the language. It took me a very long time to find it so I decided to do one in English with updated tags so more people could find it. The guy in the video is probably saying exactly how this works lol.
Cool thanks.
@@DoItWithDave Nice job, Dave! You took your time to do it yourself, and share it later with us!!!! Excellent job! So proud of folks like you!
Fantastic!! I didn't even need the tape. I just had to wiggle the connectors a bit and it was fixed! You the man!! Thank you so much.

Thank you for watching!
Hey Dave, Great video. My 55 inch Samsung started showing a double image the other night, from what I read the panel was bad. Then I found your video and followed your instructions. It worked, saved me from putting it at the side of the road. Can't thank you enough
Thanks to Dave for posting this fix. Very detailed and clear enough to follow. Unfortunately, when I tried it on my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV made in 2009, it did NOT solve the problem. My set failed exactly 1 month after the extended warranty expired in late 2013. I lived with it as it got worse for about 9 months then bought another TV. Apparently, this horizontal line problem is endemic to many Samsung TVs and pervades ribbon connections in their other appliances as well and it's been going on for YEARS. There really should be a mass recall and repair/replacement since this has effected MILLIONS of buyers. A $1200 TV should last more than 4 years. I will NEVER BUY SAMSUNG again.
Unfortunately, "they're" all in with the Planned obsolescence (search YT for the video). MJ sang it best "They don't care about us".Even when some class action suits hit them in the wallet. It's just too small a percentage for them to care. But thanks to people like Dave, I got rid of the double image but not able to fix the lines. At least my $1200 TV is somewhat watchable for now. I'll keep praying that maybe just maybe the lines will go away at some point.
A customer of mine gave me their 40'' with this double image after I helped them set up a new one. I was considering taking it in for repair but I have other larger TV's and didn't want to spend the money so I said whatever if I break it who cares, no loss. This totally worked and took me under an hour to do. Great vid. I'm curious if you know why covering these pins with the scotch tape has this effect, do you know the tech science behind it? Either way, thanks!
for the double image did u used the both tapes or just one thanks
Thanks Dave!!!!!! It worked!!!!!..saved me money I don't have right now. Thanks again for the great info.
I have a 2 year old SEIKI LC-46G68. It experienced the same double image problem described for the Samsung. After watching the Samsung Double Image, Black Lines video I attempted the repair on my SEIKI. Access to the ribbon cables was much simpler than for the Samsung and the repair was completed. Now I once again have a perfect picture instead of having to replace the TV. Thank you for posting this video and I hope other SEIKI owners will be able to repair their's as well.
Sir, Thank you so much.
Really it is very helpful! I figured out the similar issue on my samsung led TV -- Horizontal black lines + double image on screen-- by applying your instructions step by step. This WA saved the day. It took around 30 minutes from A to Z.
You deserve a Big Very Thank You:
Thanks a lot sir it worked for me I am from hyderabad telangana state India I'm really proud of u sir my sony led worked fine but one question sir it could damage more components or how its worked how its possible pls mention sir.but 3d stopped working
From what you posted it sounds like you have a 3D tv, and the 3D isn't working after following the steps in this video? If so unfortunately I don't know if this is a direct issue from following the steps, however it seems like it would. Also I haven't seen any posts addressing this type of issue. I hope I understood your question, if not just reply. I hope this helps.
It worked!!! Fiddled with it from 9:30pm til 11:40pm ....almost gave up but it worked! Thank you!!!
I want to give you a huge THANKYOU! I followed your instruction video and the problem is totally solved now! No more annoying horizontal stripes anymore! I’m as proud as a peacock 😁
Sincerely, Hetty
I don't know for a fact. Companies make products based on supply and demand. If a product sells well and everone is buying than the demand is up. However once everyone buys one the and has no need the buy another one of that product than the demand goes down. If a company wants to keep the demand high to sell more products then people will need to keep buying those products. If a device is purchased more than once by a consumer before the life expectancy of that product than the company makes more revenue then if a consumer only 'needs' to buy the product one time. In my opinion I wouldn't put it past a company to design a device to fail at a certain point so that same device would be purchased again before it become obsolete.
My guess: this is why Samsung uses horribly cheap capacitors. I've had lots of Samsung LCD's with busted capacitors after two years. Not-so-coincidentally that's the same length of time as the typical manufacturer's warranty!
+Do It With Dave They call this "cyclical consumption" =]
Dave does it matter if the tape over laps the gold strip? or does the tape need to be in the middle or just touching the gold strip?
I put the tape covering the gold strip.
I believe the term they used in college is "planned obsolescence" look it up = )
why does this work ? what is the tape doing ?
my question exactly
What the tape does is to give the ribbon some tightness in order for stability. There is better connectivity when the tape is inserted. After a while the ribbon cable gets a little worn and so a little servicing becomes necessary. Hope this gives you some sort of clarity.
In this video the tape seems to be covering some of the electrical contacts on the ribbon cable. How is that not preventing electrical connections between those contacts and the socket? The video leads me to believe that not all of those connections are necessary for the tv to work.
The only logical thing I can see about this FIX method is the capacitance effect of the tape. It is doing the job of some bad SMD ceramic capacitors on the LCD boards.
I belive this works because the connections are redundant. I also think the connections which are disconnected by the tape were faulty due to the solder connecting the connector to the pc board breaking loose.
Wow! Don't know what I did or why but it worked. This happened today and it took me less than 30 minutes. The wife and kids think I'm so cool right now. Thank you
Works on Vizio 4k flat panels too! My 5-6 year old panel was glitching with multiple images doubling. I had to tape the other cable than what you worked on but it did the trick! You saved me $400 to get a new TV!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
this is a samsung issue. happens in 3 years. same issue here. tsk tsk
Very shitty TV Samsung...I have same problem on 46 "...I'll never buy Samsung TV !
Awesome - Thank you very much. I just fixed my TV - had the same issue. Took me about 2 hours to get it right.
Incredible! fixed my tv in 5 min! Thank you for sharing!!!
never buy samsung tv after this
They're all the same, I have this same stupid issue on my 3yr old Sony, I was about to go buy new tv but I'll give this a try before.
@@dejo095 The old TVs were way better than these new junk ones. Spending $$$$s and after 2+ years to having to deal with new TVs, is just a rip off. Lawsuit to Sony, Samsung,... but need more folks with these issues!
@@r9p0m7p8 well, its a business, imagine they produced tvs that last forever, that would mean they would sell to a point in time and then sales would decrease severely. No money from sales, no money for technological advances.. meaning if we went that road we would probably still watch black&white boxy tvs. So 3yrs yeah I can live with that.
Thanks so much! This happened to me, finding this video was such a relief! The fine lines are still there, played with it for over an hour...
Perfect instructions and most importantly: it worked! Thanks a lot!
This worked well. One thing that was odd - when adjusting the ribbon to get rid of the light vertical lines, sometimes the entire screen would go black, and we'd have to start again. Still, the entire fix, from taking it down off the mounting bracket, to making the repair, and reconnecting it back to the mounting bracket was an hour. And scotch tape is a lot less expensive than a new TV! Thanks for posting!
many thanks! replaced a tcon in a sony 40 inch and thought that will do the trick. then i got the double image showing up. luckily i could fix it whit this trick. worked like a charm.
Dear Dave, Thanks so much for your video, it really worked for me and I can't thank you enough! A month ago a neighbour had put a Samsung LA40550K7M out for rubbish collection. I took it home, plugged it in and only found that it had two thin horizontal lines around the middle of the screen, everything else was working fine. I looked for a couple of days on the net and couldn't anything that was helpful apart from buying a new or second hand T Con card and hoping for the best. In my heart I knew this was something of a connector issue but couldn't put my finger on it. One day i pulled the tv apart and had tried to to reinsert the ribbon cables and the like but to no avail. It was only after i put it back together and actually left the screen on for an hour and saw what the neighbour had seen to throw it out. The top half of the screen developed a double image after warming up making it virtually impossible to watch anything and thats how I found your youtube clip. At first i tried the left hand side(from the back of the screen) and found no improvement, only made it worse after mucking around with differing widths and positions of the tape, but when I pulled out the cable from the right hand side and half the picture went, the problem horizontal lines went too. I then knew that this side had the fault. I started on the left hand side of the cable but it was only until i got the the right hand end that i made the breakthrough. My sticky tape piece covered only about 8 segments and from about 2/3rds from the left hand side of the right ribbon and with a little experimentation the issue is now completely solved. Got myself a nice free LCD screen now.Cheers :)
Wow! You probably saved me a huge amount of time and money!
I'll try it first thing in the morning! Thanks!!
WORKED!!! I still have a few horizontal lines at the bottom of the screen, but they are fainter now. The double image issue is fixed. A replacement T-CON board for my TV was like $10 so I ordered one anyway. Better than spending $350 on a new 32" TV.
Man, this is such a good video. I wasn´t able to find the T Con in my tv , BUT I got the explanation from this vid, very clear and simple and I now know what the problem is for sure. Thank you so much for sharing this information.
That video just made me save a lot of money ! Thank you so much man !!!
Cheers from Brazil
Wow... It worked!!! I had problems on both sides, but fixing a single side seemed to clear the problem completely. I even sliced about 1/6th through one of the ribbon cables & almost gave up, but somehow the slice didn't mess anything up. Thank you so much for posting this, I've been looking at this "broken" tv in my room for 2 years, wishing it was working. Now I don't have to wish anymore :)
I have never wrote any comment on every video except this!
I had repaired my LG TV 49 uh7700 with the amazing tape!!!!!!!!!!
Its unbelievable that i had watched this video.
Trus me, its really 100000000000% works
So crazyyyyyyttttt
DUDE!!! You're a genius!!! works perfectly on my Samsung UHD 43inch tv! you just have to be patient on the size of the tape! Thanks a lot! you got your self a new subscriber!
I had the same problem with My 40" Samsung LCD. I watched the video and it really worked. My Samsung Service Personnel asked to replace the LCD panel which was quite shocking. How companies are cheating there customers. As the LCD was out of warranty, I gave a try before going for replacement. This video really worked in the first attempt. Dear Dave you were a great help. Thanks a lot and keep on posting such interesting videos
Thank you very much Sunny P. I'm glad you found this video helpful.
Thanks "Do It With Dave" for this video. Fixed a television that was down for almost a year. For others attempting this just be careful. I put the left cable on crooked while "playing" with it and burned one of the tracks. Thank goodness it still works.
Mystic Sadist Thank you for sharing your experience about working on your tv. All the information we can get really helps everyone to better understand how to work on the issue their tv is having. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for this video I have a Samsung Q7 that had this issue and I'm glad I saw this. Took care of my problem.
amazing one of the best tutorial i have seen in a while
Awesome man! The picture looked like crap but now my TV is like new again.
Thanks Dave. Very simple solution. Saved big $'s by fixing double image on 55" Samsung LED TV. Very fade lines still on right side of TV but unnoticeable if you don't look closely.
Fixed my vizio tv this was insanely helpful seriously thought some wires had short circuited, had no clue what I was doing contemplated wether it was the inside issue or lcd screen but after various videos figured it was something else ,, all other videos required buying tools or changing tcon or completely getting screen repaired, but this videos was straight to the point so easy to do and got it right the first attempt ,thankfully didn’t have to keep adjusting , thanks so much as right now is not the best time to buy a new one , will see how long this repair last hopefully a good while again this video was extremely useful thanks for uploading !saved us 400-600$
Thank you. I don‘t know how you found this fix, but it worked. Just 1 hour, saved me 600 Euro.
When you did this procedure, did you face the horizontal lines? If yes, how did you fix it?
Thank you bro!!!! You the hero!!! Without you it would have cost me 16k. !!! Thanx a lot!!!😍😍😍😘😘😘😘
I didn't have the double image but I did have the weird horizontal lines. Your fix worked for me. Thanks man, you just added some life back to my tv.
Thank You for posting this video. My 6-old-tv stopped working a week ago with the exact problem of double-image on the screen and this has fixed it. I hope things are going well for you as karma for posting this.
christschin thank you so much! I'm glad you found this video helpful.
Haha.. u r the man Dave!! Worked for me after 2 hrs of trial and error with the tape.. started with left end and went towards right.. found the right spot around 3/4th to the right and the double inage was gone.. still one side was a little darker but then narrowed down the tape and tadaaa..got the perfect picture :) .. million thanks to u!!
I was hesitant at first but I did it with Dave and I have absolutely zero regrets! THANK YOU
I'm so glad you found this video helpful. Bty your the first person to ever reply with my channel name in a comment and it's absolutely awesome!
Thank you! The double picture happened to my boyfriend's tv while he wasn't home, I was so upset! Of course the warranty expired 11/15!! finding this video was a relief! We followed your video to the letter, the dbl pic is gone, can't get the fine lines to go away on the one side, no matter how much I wiggle it... but its way better than it was :)
I honestly don't understand why this worked, but it did. Extremely frustrating for someone like me with very little patience but it's fixed and that's all that matters. Thanks man.
I know the struggle is real! I'm glad you found this video helpful.
Thanks for the help, I'm going to give it a try!
Just bought a new one because of this problem. now i see this video.. Thank you, i'll test if i can fix it myself. Great video.
You are my savior! Much love from Peru
Its superb..Able to fix my TV..Thanks a lot.
This happened to my 55" SAMSUNG LED last saturday and was too afraid to open up the back and do this so I instead took it to 2 different tv repair companies which they BOTH said my panel went bad. Both said it's cheaper to buy a new TV than to replace the panel. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO.... after buying a new TV and looking at the 5 year old Samsung that supposedly had a bad panel, I decided to go ahead and try your fix.... AND IT WORKED!!!!! Got the screen back to the way it originally came.
THANK YOU AGAIN - who would have thought that a piece of tape would do the trick and it wasn't THAT scary to do it myself. (with the help of my hubby)
You Rock Angela! I'm glad you found this video helpful. Thank you for watching.
Today I found one Samsung 40" at dumpster, upon powering up shows double image vertically. Tomorrow I'm going to try fixing it using your method. It doesn't make sense why it works but obviously many people have given positive testimony. Thanks for your video brother. My confidence is overflowing.
Samsung led TVs full hd 32 inch fald video ok sound ok midle horizontal line mor thik
Thank you! The double picture happened to my boyfriend's tv while he wasn't home, I was so upset! Of course the warranty expired 11/15!! finding this video was a relief! We followed your video to the letter, the dbl pic is gone, can't get the fine lines to go away on the one side, no matter how much I wiggle it... but its way better than it was
I want to say thank you very much. I already fix my tv follow your steps. Thanks again.
Dude. You are the freaking Man!!! Saved me ALOT of money. I had to put my tape on the right controller and not at the very end, but a bit more inwards. Maybe skipping 24 pins or so on the end before i put my tape on.
But this video gave me the know how to troubleshoot and find out which controller it was, and after the first few attempts at tape on the end didn't work, i moved more inwards and BAM! Perfect picture.
Thanks so much for this instructive, informative video. Just brought a Samsung 40 inch back into the realm of completely usable. After eliminating all horizontal lines, I'm left with some vertical line artifacts, but, not enough to ruin the party of bagging a monster like this off the street and totally re-animating it. Thanks again, Dave.
PS: I think it's worth repeating the line about patience; had to experiment multiple times to find the exact sweet spot that would eliminate both problems faced trying to use the TV initially. When I don't need this one anymore, I'll figure it all out (lol!).
Hi Dave, I have a Samsung LED 40inch (UE32C5700) and all of a sudden this problem started 3 days ago. I called in the Samsung engineer and was given a hefty quote to replace the screen + service charges. The technician himself recommended me to buy a new one which will be cheaper than the repair cost.
I looked up TH-cam and found your video. To be frank, initially I was a little skeptic on how sticking a tape would work. But, I am no electronics guy and thought to give it a try. I followed your video religiously (right to the being gentle part and delicate fingers :-)) and was able to fix the issue in the first try. Thanks a ton for your easily understandable step-by-step procedure, I did not even feel that I was repairing a costly electronic product.
The only issue is that I am now seeing a line between the 2 halves of the screen, it is very light but noticeable in channels/programs where the lighting is bright and has enough contrast and colors. I gather from comments that I need to play around with the width of the tape and the positioning of it. Is that correct? If so, I will try it some other Sunday and try to get this fully right.
Thanks again, and anyone else having the problem and reading this, don't doubt or hesitate - go ahead and try it out with this video. It is super easy - you just need to be patient, methodical and delicate as Dave instructs multiple times.
Siva R thank you so much, yeah people have posted they adjusted the cable a bit. If you do just be careful as the tape can peel off a layer of the cable when removed.
Can't thank you enough for this! My screen on my 50" Samsung (UA50F6300AM) went in a similar manner. In my case, the bottom left corner went white too and the panel was really hot in that corner.
Getting to the ribbon cable in mine was very simple though. Just removed the back panel and that's it. Selotape applied to the left cable and it worked first time! Didn't need to fiddle with anything. So a bit lucky in that respect :) so many thanks, again!
I Can't believe it, Bloody brilliant fix! I have a Samsung UE40D6530 purchased in 2011 with ghosting issues.
Your fix worked a treat, I was quite dubious at first after watching the video, I didn't understand, how you decided which ribbon to adjust or how the tape affected the picture (I still don't understand how the tape stops the Ghosting?) I did some research on LED TV's and LVDS cables and after reading all the comments to your video I was convinced it would work.
Hint; If you have my model TV, you do need to reconnect the surround panel to operate the buttons at the back or the remote control to test your picture, be careful and take your time, all in all it took me and my retired electrician neighbour 1 1/2 hours.
Thanks Dave for a brilliant fix.
Thank you so much for watching and posting. I am glad you found this video helpful.
Wow still can't believe it worked, did it this morning only took me about 30mins, on my qled Q7 Samsung curved screen. My t.v is a bigger so took longer to take apart the T.V!!! Thank you very much man! You saved me alot of money!😘
Thank you very much! like others I wish I had taken before and after pictures. I had horizontal lines throughout the whole screen. Was reviewing what tv to buy when I thought let's check the internet to see if there is a fix. Boy am I glad that I found this video.
Thanks so much Dave i have a tv with those evenly spaced horizontal lines and i tried your method and it's worked!!! You are right about the size of the tape. However, I put it on different ribbon and corner. For those that didn't get it to work just try out all possible combinations! Good luck everyone!
What are all the possible combinations?
