Horizontal lines on a TV screen can be caused by various factors, including:
- Failed gate drivers : These are part of the panel and can not easily be replaced. They are almost exclusively caused by failed gate drivers on the panel
- Loose connections : Connections between TV parts may get interrupted, causing horizontal lines. This can happen on its own or if the TV was damaged
- Loose connections on boards or components : These kind of lines can be caused by a loose connection on one of the boards or a component going slightly out of spec
To troubleshoot and fix horizontal lines on a TV screen, you can try the following steps:
- Turn off the TV and wait for some time before turning it back on.
- Remove all connecting cables (Amazon, HDMI, Cable) and then switch it back on again.
- Conduct a factory reset on the TV.
- Apply pressure along the edges of the TV where the lines appear
If the issue persists, you may need to consult a professional technician or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
