    Panasonic TCP42S2 horizontal line

    Last week a thin red horizontal line appeared on the lower part of the screen. Its there even with no input devices on. The set is 2 1/2 years old.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!!

    I'm going to say bad Y-buffer board or on this SU/SD or possibly SN board.

      That's very digital and in blocks in appearance.

      If me, first thing I'd try if you have a copy of the service manual is the vertical flip in the service menu and see if those coloured blocks go to the top of the screen.

        Thanks Tom and tw2005. I tried a new buffer which didn't help. The line moved with the picture in the mirror test so it looks like I need an A-board. I'll start looking.

        Thanks again for your expertise!

          Yeah for me it was a symmetrical pattern as opposed to a continous line. If your into experimenting I wonder if it's being generated or possibly a faulty A board buffer ICs ?

          TNPH0831 (version, no suffix) , TXN/A1LHUUS if SJ is correct. P42S2

          IC9400,9401,9402 (underside) . TC74VHCT541AF (Texas Inst equivalent SN74AHCT541NSR) should only be about $1 ea,

          Maybe you have some scrap boards with the same part fitted, they're not too hard to work with size wise.

            Samsung QN70Q6DTA Ghost or horizontal lines after tape fix horizontal line
            by Ihandyrepair
            Hi guys

            I just started fixing 4k TV few months ago. so I am still learning a lot
            I got this tv from friend complaint is ghosting or horizontal lines on image.

            never saw the original symptom but I took the tv back home. the funny part is that after bringing to home, the tv worked fine no issue for 3 weeks.
            then it started to show the ghosting white image.
            I started using the tape method, but this tv does not have a T con board and it has only 1 ribbon cable from main board to the tv panel.
            it has 3 thin small boards at the bottom of the...

            Samsung UN50TU8000FXZC shows thin horizontal green line when warm
            by cubytus
            Hi to all,

            I was given this TV, an entry-level 4K 50" set. Some have criticized its lack of contrast and relatively poor colour rendering, but for my needs, it's very decent.

            I reset everything to factory settings, but this line keeps on fading in and out when watching a streaming channel from the Tizen firmware. Interestingly, it only happens when TV is warm, after about 1h45 of it being turned on.

            Watching a movie from an external source doesn't trigger the line as easily (needs 2 hours), and from a normal viewing distance, is hardly noticeable. It...

            Panasonic VCR horizontal line
            by Tom41
            I recently obtained a Panasonic NV-HD100 VCR that I was hoping to use to transfer VHS tapes to computer. While the mechanics of the loading and handling mechanism seem perfectly fine, there are a couple of small issues with the picture.

            Firstly, there is a very fine noise pattern all over the image. It's possible however that it would have looked better on an old CRT TV and the modern HDTVs are just showing it up better. If I turn the sharpness control right down, the pattern is suppressed but of course then the image is very soft; not what I want.

            The second, and...
