    Vertical green and yellow lines on Samsung plasma screen?

    Hi,
    I've owned a Samsung PN50A550 50-Inch plasma TV for about 2 years now, but 6 months ago I started noticing two vertical lines on the right side of my screen. They seem to be getting worse as time goes on.

    Is this something I can fix myself? I'm fairly handy with a screwdriver and soldering iron, so I'm hoping this is something I can handle.

    Panel is bad, most likely unrepairable

      So, that's it, huh? Those lines are the indicator of a bad panel?

        Yes, the panel is dead, and not fixable. This is a common problem with Samsung plasmas.

            Samsung Plasma TV with vertical lines (model PN50B430P2D)
            by afex
            This is my 2nd broken TV I'm trying to fix and haven't been able to figure out... currently going without any working TVs so am hoping to be able to fix one..

            This Samsung PN50B430P2D Plasma has this big block of vertical lines which will fade in shortly after turning the TV on. The lines will sometimes flicker a bit or fade in/out and sometimes it just stays present. The length of time it takes them to appear varies, sometimes its a few minutes and other times it appears immediately after powering on.

            I have attached an image of the TV with these bars displaying....

            Friend of mine has a Samsung Plasma panel with some vertical lines that are starting to form on the screen.....Ive never worked on a plasma panel, so Im not sure what to look for, would this typically be a main board issue, or something else?

            Screen Display Vertical Multicolor Lines
            by Stanley1843
            Hello, I have a screen in where sometimes when I open it pop-up vertical multicolor lines (I would say the most of them are green). If I tun off and turn on the screen the lines dissapear or if I leave open the screen after approximately five minutes the lines gone. I measured the below voltages on the main PCB and on the T-CON board and the voltages are the same when it doesn’t display the vertical lines and when it displays the vertical lines. Also, I cleaned all the connectors very good with IPA. I moved back and forth the connectors and the COF tabs but the vertical lines didn't displayed...

            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...

            Thin stable coloured vertical lines on Samsung UN65NU6900FXZC come and go
            by polaro
            Greetings,

            I've bought a used Samsung UN65NU6900FXZC LED TV. It worked fine for some time and then developed, at first, a single very thin (1 pixel) vertical stable blue line, from top to bottom, close to the left edge of the screen. Now it's 3 lines on the left. When I connect HDMI sources the number of the thin lines grow. After disconnecting and cold discharging I am back to 2 lines. The lines disappear at a rate of 15-20 minutes per line. So it does not look like a damaged LED panel. Any advice? Thanks...
