Hoops Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Have a LG ultra 4K 65 inch about 2 years old. Today I noticed it has slight but noticeable symmetrical horizontal lines top to bottom on the whole screen. Any of you know what this means? Am I screwed and my panel is going bad? it looks like lines you would see on graph paper if that helps thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Is it on every input, if you feed over the air or a DVD is it still there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try unplugging it and powering it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffksu Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Very fixable, there is only 4 boards in the back of that TV... call manufacturer and tell them what it’s doing and they will tell you it’s out of warranty... you google it on you tube, these guys know their shit... buy the part on eBay for around 30 bucks, get a buddy pull it off the wall loosen about 12 screws, pull out old part, hook up new part just like it was, put it back together.. plug it back in and should work fine... I have a 70” Vizio, after 2.5 years goes to shit, I called Vizio warranty 90 days, get the fuck outta here, but they did tell me the part I needed, ordered $32 part, friend came over and was afraid to do anything.. I said it’s broke, if we fuck it up, I’ll have to by a new one anyway..... year and a half ago working like brand new.. 1 hour and $32 bucks... since then I had a 42” Samsung in the bedroom, didn’t need my friends help.. fixed it myself...

My TV that broke it was the backlight, which is a series of little bulbs that go across the screen in like 4 rows, if one fails they all fail, I took it apart and yea, there's hardly anything back there. In my case the parts were $40 but a brand new TV is a little over $100, and since I dont know what I'm doing i just scrapped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffksu Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Although Joey may be onto something, stay off the felt 1 night and get yourself a 100” curve or whatever the fuck their called.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffksu Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yes Sir, when my friend and I pulled the back off that Vizio, I was shocked, 4 boards like 6 by 8 inches. Little plugs that come off 4 screws holding them to panel.. it took us longer to take the back off than it did to replace the board..
