Hello i have the above TV and the problem is that sometimes ( mostly at the begining ) the TV freezes at the upper side of the picture and then play well and after sometime everything is ok,
Any suggestion exept to change the mainboard?

Tcon but it sounds like a bad panel. Not cost effective unless you can find a used panel.

Why you think panel? looks like mainboard some dry joints in CPU maybe , not panel because after a while everything looks fine

Simple. Most thermal problems turn out to be the panel. Could be multiple vertical lines, double folded over picture, after about 10 minutes after the panel warms up the picture pops in normal.
