GalaxyMan Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've had this TV just over 2 years and a couple of weeks ago it started showing a vertical bar, now it's 3 bars. Any idea what it is, if it's reparable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that was about whitening around the edges. I remember it, a week or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Dietz Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Did you clean it with fluids? if they leak inside the bottom it can corrode the connectors. Usually not really repairable, and replacement (with a better and bigger model) probably cheaper and definitely more satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like a whole line of pixels just died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmen Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Reset your settings back to default. If that fails there are smart 55 inch tvs with 4 K UHD SMART tvs on lazada for 10 k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... not that one though. I also found this topic that might be worth a read too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiSoLowSoNoSo Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 My LG 55 lasted 4 years, got 5 big white round areas in the center of the screen. Got a Samsung now, hopefully it will last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyMan Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 I only paid 20,000 baht for it, but I can't comprehend a television only working for 2 years. How the world has devolved...Pisses me off to have to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, avoid LG, Samsung much better quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williet98248 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 This happened to my TV as well. It is a problem with the ribbon connector to the screen. You can find out all the information about this by googling "vertical lines in my TV". Sometimes can be repaired by cleaning the connector pins with a gum eraser. If not...new TV time.

lopburi3 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Actually the only units I have had issues with were Samsung (2) of them. No issue with LG/TCL or other Thai made model. On one Samsung had double image appear and cured that with work on the screen connectors. Believe this may also cause the white lines (two connections - one for each side - with many connectors and if signal loss an image loss) - that TV still working several years later. Another Samsung got need to replace screen from service center at greater cost than unit so discarded. TCL's have worked for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 @GalaxyMan The bloke in the shop on the ringroad near Soi 7 maenam might be able to fix that. He's on the landward side. Look for all the fans, washing machines etc outside. I had a similar problem with a Samsung TV and he fixed it for a fraction of what Samsung had quoted locally.
