Why is my Tv screen split in half?

This is Ash from Ash Healmypc99 bringing you another repair tip. Warning! This is a mainly a Diagnosis video and temporary quick fix tip only. Apologies for not including the actual repair video as I wasn’t planning to upload this to YouTube when I filmed this. Hopefully someone may still find this useful as I give some tips at the end of the video. If you want to see how I managed to temporarily fix the half black screen problem, from this to this then stay tuned.

This is how I fixed it! I used a few of the same food stick that you saw in the video, cut them into a few pieces to fit under the ribbon cable which was causing the contact image. I also secured them in place with some Blu Tack so that if there was any pressure applied onto the ribbon cable it would no longer distort the image.

Immediately, I did not replace the frame nor bezels as I wanted to see how much of a fix it was. After around a week or so it did not show any sign of half black screen. So I put everything back together, frames, bezels.

However after that it occasionally caused some half black screen. When that happened I just pressed around the frame where I knew the problem was, it would haphazardly return to a clear full picture. However over the next 3 weeks the problem would come back more frequently and each time would require more pressure applied.

This became very annoying and finally I gave up and bought a new TV. I did some research and found out that this problem is very common indeed and many others have ended up replacing their TV. A long term repair is not advisable in most cases due to the high cost of replacing any of the troublesome parts.

In conclusion there is a rant coming up! Manufactures of electrical components, especially at the budget end, are using more and more cheap components included in their build. Some say they are deliberately including a fixed term component which will die within a specific time frame, usually within the usual period.

Since I've been repairing a few electronics this has become quite clear over the years. I've seen many products fail the day after the warranty was over. While I am not directly accusing LG or any other company for that matter, I am advising each and every one of you to “expect” cheap end products to fail within a short lifetime, depending on your luck. For some electronics it might be worth considering getting extended warranty, you need to weigh the cost of repairing versus the cost of buying a new one.

Hope I was able to help you at least diagnose your problem and also offer some future helpful buying tips.
