Samsung UE46F6500SDXZT - Lower half of screen moving purple lines.

[GobonTalBzar]

I have a Samsung UE46F6500 SDXZT with the bottom half of the screen showing purple lines and sort of a lower resolution. These lines appear and disappear in response to motion on any part of the screen. For example they will appear below any popups (no signal etc) and moves sideways to stay below the location of the popups. Screensh1.jpg and Screensh2.jpgshows the issue and Samsung_Problem.zip is a video of the issue as it happens.

I've tried replacing the TCON board but nothing changed. Wiggling the connections doesn't seem to affect anything on screen.

I've attached pictures of the boards in case they are of any use.

Anyone have some time to spare to help out with this? Thanks!

1) Can you feed the TV with video signal and show us the screen shot of what the whole screen look like?

2) What is the history of the TV?

3) Any one clean the screen by spraying the cleaning liquid on the screen?

Taken some pictures and a video in the attachments. The last pic of the car is a closeup of the screen at the point where the defect starts showing up - the pixels seem further apart than usual?

A relative gave me the TV after it broke so I don't know much about its history unfortunately. Apparently it developed a "line" at the middle of the screen which kept getting worse and worse over a few weeks/months to the point it's at now.

I wouldn't be too surprised if it was cleaned with liquids to be honest but I'd like to think they'd know better...

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply

Do you think this is a board issue or could the screen itself be screwed?
