LG tv problem.

Hello, Dave here. New boy. I'm hoping someone can help with the following question
LG 42LV355U 42” led tv 4 yr old

While watching TV a vertical white band about 6 inches wide suddenly appeared and the rest of the screen lost brightness. Blues and purple affected the picture. I tried switching HDMI cables but no luck as it still showed on my Playstation reception. I spilt some liquid on the screen about an hour before this problem started though only a small amount.
Is this a problem anyone has experienced or offer any suggestions. appreciate your thoughts.

Hi Everyone,

This site is great, I've used a few posts to successfully repair a Dell 3008WFP and a few other TVs .

This would be the "required" new member unlock post for me.

I've been fixing stuff for 50+ years. I'm also a man of few words.

Well I am Jeff and in the process of trying to fix my 50" Sanyo I've stumble on a few of these forums and decided to sign up and throw my hat in the mix and hopefully solve my problems and assist with others where I can. Thanks

Hi

From NewZealand I'm a guy, 26, I build jetboats, motorbikes and other big boys toys

Recently I decided that paying people for things I can learn how to do myself is foolish, SO im learning all I can whenever I can and this seems to be the place to be for electronic gizmos and knowhow. So HELLO!

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?

And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread \"clean\" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast

So I'll start things off :

My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops: I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.. I need to feed my learning addiction.. :!:

Now just a bit about me.. I'm a fairly secretive guy in terms of privacy on the net.. especially when the things you write are visable to anyone with a net connection. But I love to share the info and knowledge I have, so that's why I'm here, to share and learn.

my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said \"w00t.. they have a forum\"..

and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..

G'day everyone, I'm not an electronics whiz, just trying to get some info when I need it so I can fix stuff myself
.
