Smart TV screen showing lines

4.5

Vertical or horizontal lines appear across the television screen.

Symptoms
  • Thin vertical lines
  • Thick horizontal bands
  • Colored lines
Possible Causes
  • Loose LVDS cable
  • T-Con board failure
  • Panel damage

Step-by-Step Fix

1

The Tap Test

Gently tap the back of the TV near the ports. If the lines flicker, a cable is loose.

2

Check Different Inputs

If lines appear on the menu, the panel or T-Con is faulty.

3

Power Cycle

Unplug for 10 minutes to discharge the T-Con board.

When to See a Technician

Vertical lines that don't change are usually a sign of "tab bonding" failure in the panel, which is often unrepairable.
