My tv has five coloured lines which go straight down the screen what is the problem?

sounds like the Tcon board is causing the lines which is very common issue when the Tcon fails. You can get the replacement Tcon form www.tvrepairworld.com

Nice joke. "The Passionate Eye", eh? Funny. But its only a few days to April Fools Day. Why not start early and have a little extra fun"?

You now have a 55" parts unit !!! A replacement 55" panel will most llikely cost as much as a new set !

Either your T-con is going out, or panel. More than likely your T-con.

if the lines extend top to bottom and are thin, then the LCD panel is most likely defective.

its lickey that the pixel are not bieng activated and not working,sorry but theirs not much one can do

If the coloured lines are in the edges, then there is absolutely no problem and it should not be visible from a viewing range of 1.5 meters and further. If the lines are in the middle of the screen, then your phosphor coating (the screen) is burnt. you need to buy a new one, since burnt screens are not repairable.

Scuse me
you can't do anything for this because if you have a defective anode or cathode on your cluster screen you will have what we call a dead-line (anode = Oriental , cathode = vertical)

but if your warrantied is not finish go for it it's your last chance

bye and sorry

If the lines across the screen are made up of coloured blocks, then the problem is likely to be a weak signal.

Digital channels are broadcast in groups called multiplexes. Sometimes one multiplex may have a weaker signal than others, and so you experience problems with up to 6 channels when all others are ok.

If it is only one or a few channels then just wait and see what happens, because it may be transmitter works.

If you have problems with all channels it could be a connection or antenna problem.



If the lines are just straight lines, then try resetting the TV as follows:

Switch on the TV

Press and hold the menu button on the side of the set. The settings menu will appear. Hold until the menu disappears again.

When you release the button, the TV will take up to about 90 seconds and then reset.

The TV will then show the original screen when the TV was new.

Press ok when shown.

Set language and country settings.

Move down the list and press ok to re-install all channels.

If the picture is ok otherwise then only thing that probably needs to be done is a vertical height adjustment. That is if the lines never changes position from cold to hot.
