Big vertical tinted stripe on screen

perform a soft reset. Turn off the TV, unplug the connector from the socket, and wait 2 minutes. ...

Vertical colored stripes on your V555-G1 TV can be caused by a few different things. The first thing you should check is the cable that connects your TV to the input source.

Make sure that the cable is firmly connected to both the TV and the input source. If the cable is firmly connected and you're still seeing vertical stripes, the next thing to check is the settings on your TV.

Make sure that the resolution is set to 1080p and that the refresh rate is set to 60Hz. If you're still seeing vertical stripes, try changing the HDMI input that your TV is connected to.

If you're still seeing vertical stripes after trying all of the above, it's possible that there is a problem with your TV. You can try resetting the TV to see if that fixes the problem.

If the problem persists, you may need to contact customer support for further assistance.
Will replacing the T-con board help?
The short answer is: maybe.
The longer answer is that it depends on what is causing the problem in the first place. If the problem is with the T-con board, then replacing it may well fix the issue.

However, if the problem is with something else - like the LCD panel itself - then replacing the T-con board is not going to help.

Line, faults & possible causes to LCD screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent.

Depends on exact model number; if a WD-52525 or something very similar pitch it---they are falling apart and have all kinds of troubles.

Google the full model number with "problems" to see what issues the set has like a hundred bad surface mounted caps etc.

Good Day, poandflo;
After removing the power from TV remove the back of the TV (bottom only): Repair: Re-insert PDM connector on both Main Digital module and Drive PWB.
Good Luck, big IRISH. ps. remove cables one at a time and plug back in ensuring that they are seat properly.

deight, your set is going into total vertical collapse, either the vertical IC is failing or some support component to the vertical circuit is failing, should not be an expensive repair, hope this helps, BMW Rider

The screen is purple with wiggly vertical lines. I'm going on a trip tomorrow. Help!

ADAM,

YOU NEED TO ADJUST THE SCREEN VOLTAGES TO BALANCE IT OUT. YOU CAN DO IT YOUSELF. HERE IS A WEBSITE. PLEASE READ THROUGH IT ALL. ITS FOR RED TINT OR LINES, BUT ITS USE IS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND COLORS. HOPFULLY, ON A LITTLE ADJUSTMENT IS ALL IT NEEDS.
