My tv went out in an instant: one second a picture, and then next only sound and a black screen on the left and right portions of the screen, and vertical lines in the middle. A little investigation on the internets showed that the problem is often the t-con board. I sent for one, replaced it, but the tv is doing exactly the same thing. Any suggestions?




Thanks,




Mike




Hi,

Sounds like horizontal scan is malfunctioning.


Thanks, Tony. What's the fix? Should I replace the main board to see what happens?

Hi,
It could be a hporiz. driver for the panel. Some has hidden diagnostic
mode(service mode)
