Samsung HPN5039 with vertical black bar issue.

[shepscrook]

I've read a few threads in this forum regarding this issue and it seems very mixed as to what the problem really is.

The vertical black bar starts about 1/4 of the way from the right side of the TV and goes to half way down the screen. It's about 2" thick.

I've read that this is repairable sometimes via fixing ribbon cables or buffer boards, as well as I've read this is not a repairable issue.

Does anyone have any insight on this?

The attached picture is not the true tv in question, but perfectly depicts the location and length of the bar.

Depending on the design, this can be caused by a number of failures.
Sometimes there are chip resistors on the flex which can crack, leading to the black bar.
Other times the connectors going to the flex can crack.
And sometimes the panel itself can be bad.

You will need to take the cover off and get us pictures so we can guide you as to the location of the fault.

shepscrook,

Something similar here with a friends HPN 5039 Samsung.

Did you ever dig further into yours? I still have not opened the case, but am wondering if you defined a cause for yours and were you able to effect a repair?
