Vertical line

[buck585]

I have a Samsung LN52A650A that has a few vertical lines when we swivel the base. Is there a cable that may be going bad? How would I fix this?
Thanks, Buck585

are you saying that the lines ONLY appear after moving the base and are gone in other positions? As others indicated, it would appear that you have a "marginal tab" which when moving the set, puts some form of pressure on the TV frame / panel frame which causes the problem to appear. Some have relieved the problem by placing some form on "padding" on the affected tab. It may or may not help and possibly in the longer run, the set will fail as replacing the tab is not viable as it is bonded to the panel.

Re: Vertical line

Thanks for the responses. Yes, Budwich, if you can see the photo there is a line about 4 inches in that is rarely there but the one 1 inch in, has a few lines that are usually there unless the tv is spun, in which case they may stay or disappear. As we watch TV now there are no lines at all.
