Ribbon connector(s) on screen inside may be loose...
Make sure its off and been off for a few minutes in case there is high voltage present!

Hi,

Uh-Oh....Vertical lines, NO PICTURE. That is NOT good.

Did your TV get hit or fall over?

The LCD panel is actually broken.

If you had a picture on it, it would still be a bad LCD panel, but when you get lines and no picture, it means the row/column bus has been severed somewhere.

The downside is the LCD panel will cost the same or more than the TV set.

I wish i could have a better solution.

Let em know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

My 3-year old 52-inch Toshiba flat panel TV (Model # 52RV53U, Serial # AM409000295) developed a display problem (purchased Aug. 2008, manufactured July 2008). Vertical multicolored lines appeared on the screen just left of center. The band of thin vertical bars is 5.5 inches wide. The lines are about 1/16-inch wide. They are stationary, always exactly in same place. They over-ride any other picture on the screen (no transparency). They are there all time even with no video inputs to the TV after the unit is turned on. See picture #1. The TV works well in every other respect, but, obviously, it is annoying to watch the picture with the color band blocking about 1/6 of the picture.

I already swapped out the TCON board with no improvement and replugged the TCON board cables with no improvement.

Most likely it is the flat panel tab bond failure (panel made by Samsung). Further resolution updates will be on my Facebook page.

I noticed a bright horizonal line about 1/4 in.wide centered in the middle running from side to side. Audio is fine. This just all of a sudden happened it was not gradual. it is due to vertical section failure. please minimise bright to protect crt. solution. solution 1 check supply to vertical section. 2 check for ic failure in vertical section 3 check vertical output section parts. Is it fixable or dumpable?? Please HELP!!!! yes it is fixable it is common problem not major one. good luck.
