@brandon300325 that looks like a failed LCD driver board. Remove the back from your TV and look up at the panel where the “Lines” atr. You should see a thine ribbon cable coming of the driver board entering the LCD panel. Gently push on the flat ribbon cable. See if that makes a difference to the lines. If so it is the ribbon cable (check TAB) which may have come loose from the connection. If not then it is most likely a failed gate driver. Post some good pictures of all of your boards and the interconnect wiring so we can see what you see and hopefully assist you further. The LCD driver board is part of the panel and can very seldom be replaced by a DIY’er. Adding images to an existing question
Hi Anderson, LCD display screens are made up of two thin layers of glass containing liquid crystal material between them. When the glass becomes damaged, debris infiltrates the crystal layer or another issue occurs with the display function, this causes vertical lines of color to appear when the monitor is fully illuminated. These lines can be either permanent due to internal failure or temporary due to faulty display connections. Diagonal, jagged and both horizontal and vertical lines typically indicate panel damage. If the lines are infrequent in their appearance, or are not permanently visible, a loose video cable is often the problem. The first step in troubleshooting is determining the extent of the damage. Re-seat any video input cables or consider replacing the cables with new ones. Should the lines continue to display, this indicates an internal failure. If it is the case, You may need to replace something within.
