SAmsung LE40F86BD Problem with image (green lines)

(1/3) > >>

Librex:
My Samsung tv was bought in Jan 2008 (funny how they break down just after warranty period..) and is now showing lots of unwanted green lines all over the screen (see image). I've tested all the inputs and it's always the same. Even when there is no input whatsoever the menus are showing signs of flickering around edges. The green lines are usually in darker areas of the image.

I probably had the clicking relay thing that is so common with Samsung LCD but not as bad as to prevent the tv from working. Nevertheless, could this be a capacitor or corrupted EEPROM problem? Before I get it to a repair shop and get a quote, I wanted to check if anyone had any idea of what could be wrong and how much I'm looking for to pay to have it fixed. I can do the soldering thing on the caps if I really need to or if the quote they give me is ridiculously high but before I start opening the chassis, an expert opinion would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your precious help.

hi personaly id be looking in 2 places the power supply check the caps .maybe see if there is a refurb kit you can fit to it should be straight forward soldering and if thats not the issue id replace the tcon ( the panel on the rear of the lcd top center ) you can usualy source one on ebay for a good price rgds dave

Thanks for the replies.

I removed the back panel, checked the PSU (everything's fine, no bulging caps) and checked connectors. The funny thing is that the tv worked again when I put everything back in place but only for 5mins before the green lines reappeared.

I'll see about the tcon and the eeprom.

Kilroys:
Or perhaps the LVDS cables.
You got 3, one between the mainboard and the frc board and
2 from the frc to the t-con board,
bad connectors could make it periodically
