As stated by the person I collected the TV from, it just stopped working overnight. However, I still gave it a go to try and repair it.
There is a thread on the same TV but with slightly different issues where they had to tape connection points on the ribbon cable, so I want to see if this is repairable by any chance.
After bringing it home and plugging it in, the TV turned on with its backlight working but had no picture. After removing the back cover, the first thing I tried is to unplug one of the ribbon cables and the situation is as follows.
Left ribbon unplugged: Lines on one-third of the screen (from bottom)
Right ribbon unplugged: Image is good and no lines across the screen
Both ribbons in: Full image but with horizontal lines across the bottom third of the screen.
Just to clarify when I first turned the TV on, there was no image at all. After unplugging the ribbons and plugging them back the image came up with the issues listed above.
I've seen similar issues and the most common root of the problem is a faulty screen but I'd be interested if someone had something similar and managed to fix it.
Could it be a ribbon cable or the T-con board or is the problem definitely related to the screen? What are the next steps I should take?
Thank you in advance.
