    Reseat the cables on the Y-buffer side. (If you need help locating the Y-buffer take some photos inside the chassis.)
    If that doesn't fix it, then the panel is bad. Not economically repaired unfortunately. These 2010 Samsungs seem to have a lot of issues with the panels going bad.

      Man that looks like a bad case of samsung panel failure. Did thus happen all the sudden or are more lines dropping out slowly? I have ran into this and re placed buffers, resoldered ribbon connections, tested and tested last year on one of these.
      Like Tom66 said. At least try to reseat the ribbon connections.
      Did I leave the soldering iron on?

        I agree that it doesn't look promising.

          Samsung plasma 50" TV, model PN50C540G3F, has black horizontal lines
          by CyberNinja
          First, the black horizontal lines even overlay the TV's menu. Does this behavior indicate that it's the plasma panel that's defective? If not for the black lines, the TV works just fine. I've cleaned the 6 connectors between the panel and the Y-buffer board, causing no change in the black lines. Visually, the 12 ICs on the Y-buffer look brand new (no holes, etc.). I put my fluke meter in continuity mode and tried to perform the "short" test on the 6 panel ports and found many shorts. But I don't think I'm doing the "short" test correctly and I'm hoping someone can provide guidance....

          by Ihandyrepair

          Samsung UN46C8000XFXZA vertical bars/horizontal lines
          by x_orange90_x
          I posted about this previously but didn't get any response, and I have some troubleshooted a bit so I have more info.

          The screen is full of horizontal "gaps" or lines that distort the picture badly, and after about 10 seconds of powering it on the screen starts to fill with red vertical bars that take on the horizontal pattern. After the screen filled with the red bars, they instantly vanished and then slowly started to reappear. I initially thought it was tab bonding failure, but after getting down to them and pressing each one I find zero change in the picture. I went...

          Sony KDL-50W685A horizontal black lines Pattern
          by Raulnn
          good morning! I have a problem with this Sony. The image has a pattern of black horizontal lines, I attach a photo of the lines. The power supply is external and emits a sound. I don't think it's because of that. Let's see if someone can help me.
