Hello all
I have had a LG 42LA691S 3D / SmartTV / FullHD / 400Hz TV for two years and 5 days. The television was covered by a two-year warranty and three days after it had expired, problems started. Namely, turning on the TV on the first day after the warranty expired, vertical stripes appeared on the entire screen. There was sound and vertical colored stripes flickered across the black screen. After turning off the power for a while, the TV turned on normally and played all day without problems. On the second day I turned on the TV and it started up normally. in the afternoon of the same day when turning on the problem returned and again after turning off and on everything went back to normal. On the third day, the television turned on normally until the air humidity in the house did not exceed 65%. Then the image seemed to crop and jump slightly in different directions. I turned it off with the remote, turned it on and there were stripes all over the screen. After turning off the power and turning on, the problem disappeared for 2-3 hours and then it repeated several times. In the evening I turned on the TV and everything was fine. After an hour of watching, I noticed that 2-3 horizontal stripes started flashing at a height of about 10-15 cm from the bottom edge of the matrix. The stripes are horizontal across the screen, each approximately 1mm wide. I noticed that they are blinking constantly in one place and at regular intervals. they appear for 2-3 seconds and then disappear for 2-3 seconds and so on. Turning the TV off and on does not give anything anymore and the stripes appear immediately after turning on the TV. In the attachment he adds photos and a link to the video (https://youtu.be/8eW--pyurOk) how it looks. I unscrewed the back cover of the TV and with the naked eye did not notice any overheated or damaged elements on the plates. Everything looks rather normal. I also checked the connections and the cleanliness of all connectors and tapes as if everything looks good. I thought maybe something related to dampness, so I treated all the elements with a dryer for a good hour without any results :-(
I am afraid that the matrix may sit down, but maybe someone of you will tell you what the reason for this situation may be. Due to the fact that the TV has a 3D matrix, matrices are quite expensive and I would not be inclined to replace it. If any electronics fell, it would be better because these elements are not very expensive. Please give me a hint if you can do something about it yourself.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
best regards
Andrew
