What is the probable cause of a "plaid" screen? Set is exactly 2 yrs old. When we turn the set on it has half black screen but clears up in about 10 minutes. Until now. Now it appears to have a "plaid" screen that isn't going away. Sound is good, tho.

It sounds as though it could be any of three problems. Firstly, it could be a faulty screen - in which case it's a lost cause since replacement screens can cost more than new TVs. It could be your main (video) board which you could replace if you can find a matching one on eBay. Finally it could be your T-con board, which again can be replaced by finding the same part number on eBay. A plaid screen is not a problem I am familiar with per se, but those are the three reasons why one might have a faulty display. Hope that helps.
There are some components that have gone bad in the board. It could also be due to moisture inside. Please do not continue to use it and refer it to a qualified service technician.
Hi nailah4200, if your LCD screen is plaid , please call the lenovo support hotline 1-877-4-536686. They will check the manufacturer's warranty and if it is active, they will send that pc for depot.
Hope this helps...
Depending where you got it It's probably still under warranty.I know Bestbuy usually offers 1 year free.My tv had red lines running through it and they said it was something to do with a climate part that they did not have so I was sent to pick out a new Tv.Good luck
This may be a screen problem. In order to narrow it down, plug in an external monitor. If the monitor works correctly, then it's a problem with your screen. Somethings that you can try are: With the external monitor, go in and unistall the monitor drivers, disconnect the external, and restart the laptop. Check the connections no the screen. If it's not the driver or connections, then it will be the screen and will need replacing.
You are absolutely correct, When anyone complains of vertical lines or bars, the next step is to see if it happens on only digital inputs ( digital board ) , only analog inputs ( analog board ) , or both ( DMD board ) .
I think what you are describing is a form of line paring which is caused by a defective IC in the video circuit those inputs are feeding. Post a email link ad I will send a pic of a screen that has this problem and you can let me know if thats what your experiencing.
