How to Fix #LCD #TV #Horizontal Screen Lines

Actually, not every damage in #LCD screen requires screen replacement.
There are repairable damage categories, and there are the irreparable ones.
For example, a broken LCD screen cannot be repaired. This kind of damage requires us to replace the LCD screen because obviously we cannot fix a broken glass screen.
For horizontal lines damage such as this, we still have hope to restore the image back to normal.

I myself tried it twice before I finally succeeded in turning on this LG TV back to normal.
As you can see for yourselves, only by using scotch tape, we can repair the TV with striped screen damage back to normal.
This method has been proven by many people who follow my YouTube channel. You can try and prove it for yourselves.

I tried exactly what you’ve instructed and it works, ....dude you are awesome, ... I’ll give you a 10 thumbs up, ...Thank you.

OMG THANK YOU.
My monitor started with flickering lines like a month ago and i was going to buy a new one until a saw this video. I put tape carefully in the ribbon cable as you show in the video and it just worked like a charm.

Can vouch for this. My TV showed this problem in the afternoon, and tried this in the evening. Typing this as soon as my TV started working back.

The thing to understand here is that only a very small segment must be getting duplicated, so it's wise to start with a thin strip of cellophane tape. Start at the edges, and keep checking after applying each strip. It's more of a trial and error procedure, keep patience, and keep taping different areas and looking for the result, until it works.

Thanks a lot for this video, it's a gem.

I have the same exact problem with my LG smart TV but i'm afraid to do stuff like this like it could turn out worse.
EDIT: It worked! I was so shocked it actually worked. Thank you so much but there were little lines that are a bit visible but pretty much unnoticeable and a slight discoloration on the right side of the screen though it doesn't matter really because it is very watchable now.

If anyone is wondering how it's possible that a piece of tape can fix problems of the panel here is what's going on:
There can be 2 types of ICs that are needed to drive the panel sections: COFs (Chip On Film), you can see them on the panel edges or COGs (Chip On Glass), you can't see them because they are inside the panel glass. The image is being composed using multiple signals, with age and especially heat (they produce a lot of heat), this chips go on short or break and the result is a shorted signals and the consequence will be lines on screen or picture problems. By adding a piece of tape inside the LVDS connector, you are going to insulate the shorted signal and fix the problem. But how it's possible that the image is still good after insulating the short? it appears to be the same but in reality there is a little quality decrease because it's missing one of the signals. So by applying this method you need to insulate as less pins as possible (only the shorted ones) to avoid more quality decrease.

I dont know why I stumbled on this video (prob youtube random suggestion) but this is what Im exactly looking for a long time. Now I can try to fix our tv. Thank you

Great fix great job!!! Lg service center was asking me to pay 300$ … tape and magnifying glass.. 0.1cent fix!!! GOOD JOB!!!!

[jaid]

The authorized LG servicing agent told me to change the display. Followed this video and the issue was fixed. The trick is to find the exact spot on the strip...took me couple of tries before hitting the right spot. Thank you.

[sullicura]

Thanks so much, i never comment on videos but you just made my night, my tv started working again saving me 400$, its easy yet effective method, dont care about the consequnces coz it was about to be junk anyway

[liquidsleep]

I just did this on a TV : philips 49puh6001/88 and it worked !
Thank you very much from France 🙏

[thulanisibanda]

Managed to fix my TV today. Thank you so much!

[DominicGichane]

I have used this method many times and it works. But it leaves a reddish tint on the side you put the tape on. A majority of the TV's I fixed this way got even more lines after a few weeks. So this is just a temporary solution for the customer until the new screen arrives.

[aji_ajigaming]

Sheyt! It worked for me. I fixed my LG TV. Thanks so much! 😁

[speed-hunter]

How exactly do you place/install those tapes?

[TUBELESSAN]

Worked fine on a Philips TV with LG panel! Thank you so much. Great!

[JCRandall]

It'll be great if you can tell us how to fix vertical line damage

[thebigchinbc]

Between this vid and another one I watched, I fixed my TV with this tape technique. Thanks a tonne!
