Hello everyone,
I need some help with my TV.
I only recently bought it and used it for a couple of hours, and clearly has an issue.
I cannot return it, however I figured I can fix it.
The TV itself is a Samsung pn60e550d1f
Works perfectly when you turn it on, for about 30 minutes up to 1 hour.
After that, towards the left side, there are 3 fat (1") white verticle lines going from top to bottom.
They are white but somewhat transparent to color and some movement.
If I keep watching TV, they sometimes go away on their own, but come back after 20 minutes.
I already opened the TV when I first got the issue, unhooked all ribbons (I didn't clean anything as I didn't have any proper cleaning solution or high enough % alcohol)
I rehooked all cables, turned the TV back on and thought I fixed it... then the issue came back after an hour.
I will be doing it again, this time clean everything with Circuit board cleaner.
However, I have a feeling I may just need to buy and replace, what I think is the T-Con Board (According to research)
Ill have to open the TV again to get the accurate part number and hope I can find it for under 100$
My questions are the following.
Am I on the right track? Can anyone confirm that my issue is the tcon board?
Is the Tcon Board the main board that have all of the inputs? (HDMI's Components...)
Does anyone have any suggestions I can try?
Is it a common issue with this specific Samsung model?
Thank you for the help.
