Suddenly shows red in areas of dark black

Suddenly shows red in areas of dark black

I was watching TV this morning everything working fine, left it on and went about my day, and when I came back had this issue. In areas where there's supposed to be full black or close to it I'm getting a solid dark red. There is no gradient to the red color at all. This also persists throughout all inputs so it it the tv.

ANSWERS:

"Hi @akilogames,

It may be a problem with the tcon board. This regulates the colours dependent on the signals being received from the mainboard or worst case it is in the panel driver tab boards that the tcon board connects to.

The cabling is mainboard —-> tcon board —-> tab boards ——> panel.

There’s not much you can do if it is in the tab boards because their connections are bonded to the panel itself and are very fragile so you risk creating more problems trying to fix them.

Here’s a video that may help. It is not for your model as far as I know, but it shows in general terms the tcon board and the cabling etc

Replacement tcon boards are available online. Just search for Samsung LN46A530P1FXZA tcon board. Make sure that the replacement board has the same board number, Rev. No etc (printed on the board itself) as the original or verify with the seller that it is compatible with your exact model. Also try to source from a supplier that has a good returns policy that may minimize the cost to you if it is not the tcon board that is the problem."
