Half my screen works

I have a RU42PZ61 and when looking at the TV the left hand side has different color vertical lines. When you first turn on TV all is well but after a few minutes it goes to half the screen again. Seems like alot of other problems posted include lines on the screen. Is this a manufactor defect?

I had this, and it was just a small connection that was loose.

I have a Insignia TV Model # E58KT2NKECBYNNG hALF THE SCREEN LIGHTS UP AND THE OTHER HALF HAS VARYING COLOR OF GRAYS VERTICAL i DO HAVE SOUND i WAS CONSIDERING REPLACING T-COM BOARD

Sounds like a bad panel board, meaning the panel is bad and that part isn't replaceable, you can try a tcon but I don't think it will fix it

My LCD TV has a vertical line on the right side of the screen. What causes that?

I hate to give you bad news but I believe this will be a panel issue and it's not going to be fixable. You can try a different tcon board but I don't think it will help

LG 37LE5300 HAS HALF BLACK SCREEN

THIS set uses 2 boards inside--one drives the left and the other the right side of the screen.

You have to id which is which (GOOGLE?) AND replace it-every brand has different names for these but it sounds like your problem

Some research (you or me) should give a board breakdown for this model---not looking for main or power board but another like sustain etc. and there will be 2 listed (for right and the left sides)

Screen is half picture and half black with vertical colored lines

I had the same issue. I could get the tv to work intermittantly by pressing on the boards while playing. This points to bad solder joint, so I resoldered every molex plug connector, and it nows works like a charm.

Left Half of the screen is not working

you have a problem with your "buffer" boards inside your tv. there are several different ( 4 or 5
) ones inside. it may also be your controller board, only a tv service technician will be able to answer this question after a look see
