TCON cable ribbon

SOURCE: Black 3-4 inch wide Stripe

Contact Samsung and demand a replacement television. With my situation, they had me take it to a repair shop and get an estimate. I was originally going to get nothing, then after several correspondence, only the parts for free since it was out of warranty (not too far out of warranty) and pay for labor. They decided it would be too expensive and difficult to find the part. They ended up letting me pay 350 for the same tv but 2 years newer. It is definitely worth the price since the labor alone would cost that.

Hope this helps!

there are two convergnece boards in this tv. one is called the convergence (DCU) the other is called the convergence amp board. this amp board has the (STK`S) on it and ids your problem. in most cases we repair this board.

It cam be the LCD panel, T-CON board, or main board. Very difficult to narrow down to exact baord without manual and proper tools. I would first find out if the switched 12vdc feeding theT-CON board is OK, also try reseating the ribbon cables on the T-CON board.
