FIX Your TV with a TOOTHBRUSH | Fixing Vertical Lines

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!

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.

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.

[@Kodane]

did you ever figure it out? Im having the same issue

[@JoeMuc2008]

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.

[@Stonehound503]

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.

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?

[@CarltonDodd]

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)?

[@FrugalRepair]

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.

[@craigosterberg5045]

Thanks for information

[@teksgeroi]

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?

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 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...?

[@gregcuprak8186]

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?

[@FrugalRepair]

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.

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)

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?

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.

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.

@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

[@MartinPaoloni]

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.

[@andrew_koala2974]

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

[@CM-xr9oq]

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.)

[@zs1dfr]

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!

[@FrugalRepair]

Heat might be helpful with the adhesive but it’s the corrosion underneath that is the issue.

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?

[@FrugalRepair]

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.

[@andrew_koala2974]

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

[@DasAntiNaziBroetchen]

@@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.

[@RetroRepair]

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

[@dhairya8238]

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.

I have a friend who is a repair man and he shared one time he felt like especially lcd/led TV are designed to have a problem for past a year because how easily the way it was easy to loosen or degrade something inside them and add to the fact that most thing he repairs are LCD/LED TV the ones that has average or lower prices. He says its better to pay expensive led/lcd TV because those things will last longer and the money and time you spent for repair for non-expensive lcd/led are just better spent on expensive lcd/led tv.

[@FrugalRepair]

In general you might get what you pay for. But even the big brand names have had strings of problems. Samsung and Sony had years of their TVs having significant issues. Vizio sometimes has a bad reputation but a lot of their TVs were made by LG.

[@brettsuhayda2297]

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?

[@FrugalRepair]

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.

[@bradleyramsay6826]

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

[@FrugalRepair]

Yes, it would be basically the same since it’s lcd

[@lornelorne5727]

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?

[@FrugalRepair]

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.

[@rgx4306]

How about if the screen looks like it leaked ink and has a crack point but doesn’t actually on the surface. The backlight works though.

[@FrugalRepair]

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

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

[@FrugalRepair]

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.
