Why is the color fading from right to left?

It's great that you were able to resolve the initial issue with the TV not working by blocking a trace on a ribbon cable. However, the new problem with the color fading on one side of the screen could be due to various reasons. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Check Ribbon Cables:
   • Ensure that all ribbon cables are securely connected. It's possible that during the repair, a cable was not properly seated or got damaged.
2. Inspect for Physical Damage:
   • Carefully inspect the ribbon cables for any signs of physical damage or wear. If you notice any issues, you may need to replace the damaged cable.
3. Reset and Calibration:
   • Some TVs have color calibration settings. Check your TV's menu for any color calibration options and try resetting them to default values.
4. Check T-Con Board:
   • The T-Con (Timing Control) board is responsible for processing video signals and can sometimes cause color issues. Make sure the T-Con board is functioning correctly and consider replacing it if necessary.
5. Update Firmware:
   • Check if there are any firmware updates available for your TV model. Sometimes, firmware updates can address display issues.
6. Professional Repair:
   • If the issue persists after trying the above steps, it might be a more complex problem within the display panel or other internal components. In such cases, it's advisable to seek professional help from a TV repair technician.
7. Manufacturer Support:
   • Contact Samsung customer support for assistance. They may be able to provide further guidance or recommend an authorized service center.

Remember, attempting to repair complex electronic devices without the proper knowledge and experience can lead to further damage. If you are unsure about any step or if the issue persists, it's best to consult with a professional technician for a thorough diagnosis and repair.
