Thank you for the kind comments. The older TV in this video had florescent backlights. Here's a second video showing where similar symptoms on a newer TV with LED backlights was caused by something completely different: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qMeZlr2iuZPVhqM.html Good luck. Thanks for commenting!

What model Samsung do you have?

Good luck with your repairs and thank you for your kind comments. They're very much appreciated.

@@davidwilcox8604 sir, you really hit it hard with a rolling pin and freakin' fixed the problem XD oh deymn XD haha

Did it work

@@Ragenbull23 no

There's a guy that fixed his by hitting it with a rolling pin. Short video but rather funny. Obviously loose cable but definitely a fix out of armageddon. "This is how we fix things in mother Russia" proceeds to beat the crap out of it.

Whatever works, unfortunately due to heat related expansion and contraction, nothing works for long.

If it's just dark, but not blurry, then you may have a TV where the T-Con board is located at the bottom of the display panel assembly. That design suffers when glass cleaner sprayed onto the screen. It drips behind the bezel and corrodes the connectors. If that's what happened to your TV, cables can be cleaned with a soft, pink pencil eraser. Connectors can be cleaned with apple cider vinegar.

@@LawrencePina Thank you

Mine too. Vizio. This is super helpful. I'm going to try fixing it tonight. Did it work for you?

@@spandella7721 did it work? I got a 55 Vizio doing the right side blur and dark

@@LawrencePina Exactly what happend to me. Cleaned my tv screen of with glass cleaner, not even 30 minutes later this happens 🙄

Need advice how to fix my tv which has sound and has picture some times but lately most of the time goes mostly black with bits of colour but no clear imageplease help me thanks

Ribbon cable connectors (female parts) are hinged at the top. Lift gently and they open same as the hood of an automobile. Once pressure has been released, some cables (male parts) are perfectly rectangular and will slide right out. Others are notched left and right so you have to lift slightly to get them above the notches before you can slide them out. Use your thumbnails and be gentle!

The LCD TV shown in this video is an older florescent back lit model. Similar symptoms on a much newer LCD/LED back lit TV would more likely be caused by unlit LED strips inside the display panel assembly. Please watch "Insignia NS-55D550NA15 LED/LCD TV Repair" for details. Observe that the two display failures look nearly the same, but the causes are very different. Assuming yours is an LCD/LED TV, the next step would be to check the backlights. With most brands, there's no fire damage and you can fix the TV by identifying and replacing the burned out LED strips. If there are none, then you've got an internal failure in the LCD. Fixing that is another story, so please check the LEDs first. Good luck, and thanks for asking!

@@LawrencePina thank you so much going to watch the insignia video. Again thanks bud.

You got to get a rubber mallot and hit it on top left corner it fixed mine, how I have no idea

Not in my experience!

You almost certainly have a bank of LED strips (maybe 4) out at the bottom of the display. The LG 60UJ6050-UA is a modern LCD/LED Smart TV (a $500 item) so the symptoms shown here on an older LCD/Florescent TV would not apply to it. The main thing to understand is that you describe a display panel problem, NOT a board problem. To fix it, you have disassemble the display, identify the strips (or just the individual LEDs) that have failed, read the part numbers off of them, order replacements from ShopJimmy or AliExpress, wait for them to come in, then install and reassemble. Watch the following LG TV repair videos for details: LG 50UH5500 UHD Smart TV Repair Secrets LG 42LN5700 - 47LN5400 LED TV Screen Repair Secrets Assuming you have the space to disassemble and spread out, and the patience and disposition it takes to accomplish this, you'll end up with a very nice TV for the cost of peanuts! And, if you replace entire strips (easiest way) you'll have spare parts (failed strips with many good individual LEDs) for next time. Good luck. Thanks for asking!

No. The older LCD TV in this video has florescent tube backlights. Your 65" 4K TV almost certainly has LED backlights so it's far more likley to have the problem shown in this episode kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qMeZlr2iuZPVhqM.html titled LCD/LED TV Repair Secrets - Half of Display is Barely Visible. Good luck! Thanks for commenting.

Similar symptoms on a much newer 85" (LCD/LED?) TV would more likely be caused by open backlight strips inside the display panel assembly. Please watch "Insignia NS-55D550NA15 LED/LCD TV Repair" for details. If after watching "Insignia NS-55D550NA15 LED/LCD TV Repair," you decide to take your 85" screen apart, you'll need a second person to help you with disassembly. And, you'd best fabricate a stretcher to support the fragile LCD before lifting it, otherwise, even with two people on the job, the screen may flex and crack on removal. Thank you for asking!

Me too. Same tv i have my open right now. Same problem. Left side dark center blurry... right side Normal. Its more simple. On sharp everything is in the center no. Extra panel. To take of after. U take ba k part off i switched the same. Parts. To opposite side. Kinda worked. Its. Evenly blurry now lol right side still good. Idk im stuck. On what yo do iv cleaned everything. Wiggeled. Just about everything... Hate to pit it back togethere. Its taken up my whole bed lol..

Most likely the backside of the LCD cracked at the point of impact and that's what's causing your problem. To verify, you'd have to remove the bezel and rotate the screen 90 degrees. At one time, manufactures placed a sheet of heavy Plexiglas beneath LCDs to prevent them from flexing inwards. Today, there's just a very thin diffuser beneath the LCD offering no flex protection whatsoever. What you have described is a very common problem with Samsung UN series TVs.

I have a samsung UN75MU8000, while moving it downstairs and turned it on, the left side of the screen is dark. If what you’re saying is true about replacing the components won’t matter and if something you said cracked, is the TV just effed?

How😣

Only the right side of the display is inverted, not the whole screen? I ask because inversion generally occurs when the TV is misdiagnosed and the main board is replaced. In some cases, it's necessary to toggle the inversion option in the service menu to reorient the display. Have you tried that? Regarding the dark and blurry problem, that's either the timing control board, the display panel assembly and/or the connections between them. As the Vizio M550NV uses LED back lights you might also have the problem shown here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psWckpV-3p2tgok.html.If visual inspection doesn't reveal any like that consider studying Kent Liew's screen panel repair eBook available from: www.lcdrepairguide.com. Good luck. Thanks for watching this video and thank you leaving a relevant comment.

@@LawrencePina Thanks for your reply. After doing a through visual inspection I discovered that I had somehow partially torn one of the ribbon cables that go from the led strip to the screen. When I press on the cable I get a very clear picture on the screen. I did some research and saw some videos where some guys used some silicone conductive compound thermal pads to fix the problem . This is only a project for me. I'm going to try the thermal pads and see what happens. What do you think?

DALLO NELSON anything beats a blank, I always say😊

Great work (except for catching things on fire)! For a flame proof example of the cut off method, please watch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eayhhtlkt9TPaGg.html LCD/LED TV Repair Secrets - Backlights and Sound, but No Video. Thanks for commenting. Please like and subscribe as it really helps the channel.

Visit www.LCDRepairGuide.com. For screen problems not covered in this video, study "LCD/LED Screen Panel Repair" by Kent Liew. Generally speaking, when the backlights come ON and there's sound but no video (on either side of the screen), suspect a shorted LCD. What to do next: disconnect the FPC cables one at a time. If disconnecting one or the other gets half of the display back, then the cut off modification (described starting on page 78) should help you to restore the other side. And for what it's worth, if you can narrow the problem down to just one line, consider notching that line out of the FPC cable. Kent's book is written in Chinese English, so you may have to go over the material several times to grasp what he's saying, but the effort is well worth it. Good luck and thanks for commenting!

The LCD TV in this video (manufactured prior to 2012) has florescent tube back lights. To view similar symptoms on a newer LCD/LED TV please watch "Insignia NS-55D550NA15 LED/LCD TV Repair" at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psWckpV-3p2tgok.html If yours is an LCD/LED TV, it's much more likely that's your problem.

LG 32LB580B-SA is an LCD/LED television. As it's backlit with LEDs, not fluorescent tubes, one or more LEDs may have caught fire causing an open circuit to the right side of the screen. To see what that looks like, watch the video titled "Insignia NS-55D550NA15 LED/LCD TV Repair." So, now you know two things that might be causing the problem. Whichever it is, someone will have to take your TV apart to find out. Boa sorte!

@@LawrencePina aw man, thanks anyways

T-Con board is not usually the cause of this problem. Wasn't that the whole point of the video?

@@LawrencePina actually tge tcon fixed my issue but now dark top half of screen

@@vinngrizzle What happens when you reinstall the original board? Do the original symptoms return? Do the new symptoms persist? Or, do you get a third set of symptoms? Assuming the replacement board is identical to the original, not an "also works in..." substitute, this should help you to figure out what's going on.

Thinking tcon was bad now need to check leds

If yours is an LED/LCD TV, then you may have the problem shown in "Insignia NS-55D550NA15 LED/LCD TV Repair." Hopefully, yours won't be that bad...

@@LawrencePina The issue with half screen being black for about 5 minutes after turning it on still remains, but it turns out it was only switching off cuz of a child lock. God only knows who activated that. I can deal with waiting 5 mins to get full picture, no problem.

When the timing control board is located at the bottom, its ribbon cables are also at the bottom, and the connectors are often quite corroded from spray cleaners that drip onto them. The problem shown in the video is much more common when the Tcon is at the bottom. The source driver board will be at the lowest point and that's where you're likely to discover corrosion.

@@LawrencePina thank you for the reply. I can't see corrosion, but I did see one of your other comments to clean with apple cider vinegar. I'm going to try that. I've played with all the ribbons A LOT and have gotten no results. Exactly the same problem as in your video. So I'm not giving up. I see no visible damages either so it's really stumping me. Just going to clean the connections

@@AntoniYOwned As long as you have the TV apart, try swapping the cables, left to right. See if anything changes. It's a long shot, but sometimes, when there's visible corrosion, that's all you have to do. As you don't notice any corrosion, I'm thinking you may have a different problem. Watch the video titled "Insignia NS-55D550NA15 LED/LCD TV Repair." The symptoms in that video are similar but the cause is very different. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

Could you please indicate the make and model of your TV?

@@LawrencePina r/whoosh

Ours had this problem when you first turned it on. We'd just smack the back of the TV and it would work great. For years! Then one day, no matter how much we slapped the TV, it wouldn't get rid of the black haze. So I'm really grateful for this video. We already bought a new TV, but if I can tinker with - and FIX - the old one, we'll have one for another room, which is great!

Leo, When the picture is light on one side and dark on the other but otherwise OK (not blurred or distorted and not an initial menu/setup/firmware problem) you can almost always correct it (permanently) by swapping the cables. Just reseating them may not be enough...

@@LawrencePina ok thank you i will try doing that like i say the tv showing the picture it just it show good on the left side and dart on the right side and when i tap on the right side of the out side of the frame of the tv the picture try to pop brite.

@@mrblack7606 bright?

@@LawrencePina Do you have any recommendations as to where I can purchase replacement ribbon cables?

Please indicate the make and model of your TV. If it's an edge-lit LCD/LED TV, not an LED TV with old-style florescent back lights (like the one shown here), and if it looks like the screen has been cut exactly in half (right down the middle), then most likely one of the two LED strips failed. Otherwise, you might have the problem shown in this video: Insignia NS-55D550NA15 LED/LCD TV Repair which you can watch at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psWckpV-3p2tgok.html Good luck and thanks for asking!

I doubt the plastic wedge would have survived reassembly and transport. It almost certainly would have fallen out. Best to attempt a more permanent fix. Good luck, and thanks for commenting!

@@LawrencePina ahh yea you are right it probably wouldn’t stay put. Very smart trick to troubleshoot tho thanks for the info!

This video might have been recorded using an old JVC miniDVD camcorder. It broke right around that time. There are no parts available for that model and I've since stopped using it.

Mine too and i can't find the fix.

But it's such an easy fix!

Not an issue with this old TV as the warranty had expired years ago.

Based on my experience with similar size Samsung LCD/LED TVs, the symptoms you describe (half of the display is black and on an angle) suggest a shorted data line in the LCD panel, not a bad board. In that case, it might be very easy to fix. First, you need to to identify which of the two ribbon cables connecting the timing control board to the display panel assembly controls which side of the screen. Disconnect them one at a time to determine that. When the cable leading to the shorted side is disconnected, the other side should display perfectly. Next, you need to identify which signal line(s) on the disconnected side lead to the shorted data column(s). It's generally only one line. This procedure is easier shown in a video than described, but here goes: Fold a piece of 1/2" cellophane tape onto itself so that the sticky sides are stuck to each other. Starting from one side or the other, insert it into the open connector on the T-Con board so that it will keep 1/2" worth of lines from making contact. Reconnect the disconnected cable you identified, power up and see what happens, If there's no change or the display is worse, power down, move the cable over 1/2" and try again. At some point, the black half of the display will turn back on (believe me, it will), but it won't look very good. You're in the ballpark! Now you have to identify which of the insulated lines covered by the 1/2" of tape is causing the problem. Do that by powering down and carefully moving the insulator just one line at a time until the display turns black again. The line you just uncovered (just reconnected), is the line that's shorted. They're two fixes at this point. Some guys try to cut a really narrow sliver of tape and position it just right. I find it easier just to notch that line out of the ribbon cable. Now, the display might not look 100% perfect with one data line bypassed, but most people are not able to tell the difference. How long will this repair last? Well, the first time I fixed a TV having this problem was about 9 months ago. It's still working fine. The author of the ebook (www.lcdrepairguide.com/screen-repair/) I learned this procedure from, Kent Lieu, claims still no comebacks after 1 year. Other people, sharing their experiences at Jestine Yong's website (www.electronicsrepairfaq.com) have had similar success. Thing is, it doesn't cost anything, it's hard to understand but easy to do, and there's a high chance of success, so I hope you'll give this a try. Chances are you can have that TV fixed in no time! Good luck and thanks for commenting.

Apparently the point went over your head: New boards are not going to fix screen problems. How could you possibly have watched the video and not understood that?

the point is .!! the ribbons or the connector are the cause of half black screen . i just tested and confirm this on hissen tv screen . * thanks for uploading the video ! lawrence

In my family we have a saying: "What you do, shows what you are." Faced with a technical problem that had not previously been documented on KZfaq, I make an admittedly amateur video intended to help people, and obviously it has. You leave leave a nasty comment intended to do what? Like I said...
