Chosen Solution Please help. Thankss Update (10/13/2022) Jay Diez, double layered (double vision) displays are usually caused by a failed T-con board. You also need to check the flat ribbon interconnect cables for corrosion, frayed, bend contacts etc. Remove all the cables (one at a time) and re-insert those to make sure they are properly seated. For any further diagnostics we will need to know your TV model number.

Perhaps I am just dense, but clicking on the service manual link just brings me back to a page of videos. Hi! The banner you refer to is at the end of every singe teardown guide on this site.
