All,
I got this TV from my brother and I plan to use it in my Man Cave as it has a wide selection of inputs which I will utilize with different equipment.
Anyways the unit was stored in a basement for a about a year, prior to my acquisition of the set, but had issues prior. Its been in the garage for about 3-4 months now.
So I pulled it out of the garage and put it on my test stand and upon plugging it in and powering on I experience what I take as a delayed start. Meaning when I pushed the power button it took a while to get any kind of screen. I am basically outside in this image as the garage door is opened and letting a lot of light in the garage...a lot of light...it was bright and sunny.
As I am not familiar with the TV I left it be and after 5-10 seconds I saw this unusual screen (vertical lines etc).
So I left it be ran and did some errands in town and returned to the second screen (normal). I was gone at least a hour and half.
I hooked up a BluRay player and watched a 2 hour movie without any issue.
The unit was unplugged and it sat over night. I plugged it in today and I received the first screen (vertical lines) again. I did not get the delayed power on as I did before so I am thinking that may have been my mistake.
I am currently letting it sit on as I did before but as of now there has not been a change...its been about 40 minutes...I will let you all know if it changes.
Not much on BadCaps forum about this TV but I have read online there is commonly a problem with the cables attaching the panel screen to the TCON board.
Any ideas of suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
