Buck531 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 So within the past year this has been on my 42" Toshiba LCD TV. Tried different HDMI cables, happens on my 360 and regular TV, different HDMI ports on the TV. I've also tried the burn in thing with some program that puts snow on the TV for 10 minutes though my laptop. Any ideas? It's fucking bullshit that I went through 2 Toshiba TV's so far. First one I got when we were married in '99 and the tube went out in '01 or so. This one I've had for probably 3 years. Way out of warranty from Toshiba. Yes, it's a big black fucking stripe on the TV. About an inch in diameter. Any ideas? http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/LCDWTF.jpg :fuuuu::fuuuu::fuuuu::fuuuu::fuuuu::fuuuu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 LCD flat panel. I had to turn off the flash to get the full effect of the shit on the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Seriously looks like someone took a stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Seriously looks like someone pressed their dick up to it. Watch porn on your laptop. Seriously, I'm biased on Plasma over LCD's. I came from Panny is why. Looks like at some point perhaps the screen was struck or pressed on and it caused some damage. Are there marks on it indicating such? Usually LCD's will suffer from dead pixels or hot pixels and also lamp failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Nothing is made to last anymore especially electronics. It's probably time to get a new one. Absolutely true. I'm pissed right now as one of my several thousand dollar camera lenses is going back for repair. BULLSHIT if you ask me as I baby my gear too.

LJ Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I wonder if something gets really hot internally right there and caused the damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolen 5.0 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I would take it apart and investigate, replace parts as needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spam Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Panel is bad i would assume. Buy a new TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comebackkid Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah before you pitch it take the back off and look at everything. It be pretty sweet if it's something the average person/ you could fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I've never taken a TV apart. I'd rather not. I can deal with the stripe, it's just annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
