Samsung plasma

Sorry. I don't know the model number yet.
Does this look like a panel problem?

Re: Samsung plasma

Either bad panel or loose/dirty ribbon cables.

Re: Samsung plasma

Ok. I have the option to buy it for $50.

Re: Samsung plasma

Again $50 is not much but you need to know the model name so you can find the production date.

Re: Samsung plasma

Ok. I asked the model number. Haven't gotten an answer yet.

Malachi,
Not worth it, don't do it. As a rule of thumb just don't buy a tv with lines in it. Not worth the risk. Search craigslist and you will find plenty of better deals with better symptoms.

Re: Samsung plasma

Not in the Craigslist in Columbus. I look every 15 minutes. I'm addicted.
That's the best deal. People have used 32" lcd listed for $200.
They are unrealistic.

Btw the lg zsus board you fixed for me worked perfectly. Sold it for $50 on eBay yesterday.
I lost. I know.

Re: Samsung plasma

It's a pn50b450 from 2009.
Too much I think?

Re: Samsung plasma

Well I guess if the parts have descent value, you could make your money back on it by selling on ebay, just might take a while to sell them. Are the lines static? Do they go away after a while?

Re: Samsung plasma

Don't. Know. I'm not looking to sell parts. I'm looking to keep a good tv.

Re: Samsung plasma

It's funny , the lines appear over the whole tv. Could be a lot of dust causing these symptoms. I had that with a Panasonic once

Re: Samsung plasma

Did you get the tv or did you pass on it? I do the same thing myself cause I like to work on stuff. Then I buy stuff I shouldn't be buying cause they have a weird problem. Well then you end up like me with about 8 non working tv's and sometimes never knowing if I can fix them. Then I start bothering everybody on the forum for help. It sure is nice to buy one that needs $10.00 worth of caps and you are done!!! I have Samsung 50" that I will be starting a new thread. I have to take pictures first, but its a weird one. Good luck

Re: Samsung plasma

I didn't buy it and probably won't.

Re: Samsung plasma

Probably a wise choice!!! Those are the ones you dont pass up if they were giving it to you, but how often does that happen.
