    PN50C550G1FXZC Horizontal lines - fixable?

    I am looking at a Samsung PN50C550G1FXZC (Version NY02) that someone is selling for $35 because it has black lines going horizontally across the screen. I searched for this issue and couldn't get a definitive answer as to whether or not it's fixable. I seen some people saying the Y Buffer was bad, others saying Y Sustain, and even some people saying it's the panel itself.

    I would just like to know if it's actually fixable. I would happily invest in a board or whatnot to have a 55" plasma for under $100.

    Attached are screenshots of "The Issue"

    Thanis in advance for any help.

    Bad panel. The y ribbon driver contacts are breaking down inside the panel. Typical 2010/2011 Samsung failure.
    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

      It could be bad buffer boards, ysus possibly or even poorly seated ribbons between buffers & panel. but searching here others have reported bad panel as the issue with this model.

        TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
        by howardc64
        All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
        • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
        • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

        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...

        Sony XBR-65X750D Horizontal lines bottom of screen
        by ggil44
        Hi, I have a Sony XBR-65X750D that has horizontal lines at the bottom 6 inches of the screen. These lines appear to be every other line because the picture is still quite visible behind those lines. The lines appear all the time with a few other lines above and below the 6 inch level blinking on and off at about 2 second intervals. I'm not sure if this is a panel issue or power supply/main board problem. I did replace the T-Con board without any change in the problem. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

        Sony XBR-85X950G Gray horizontal lines and vertical picture shift diagnosis?
        by noisykid
        5.5 year old 85 inch Sony Bravia X950G started showing gray horizontal lines across the bottom of the screen and the picture shifts slightly vertically when it happens. The lines sometimes get bigger/smaller vertically and bounce back. See the video for the problem. It seems to be happening after it warms up after an hour or so. Happens regardless of source. Right now there's nothing but power cable connected and it's happening. We did hook up a new Nintendo Switch to our HDMI switching receiver today, and played for a while with no issues, but this problem didn't occur til a few hours later while...

        Samsung UN46C8000XFXZA Horizontal lines
        by x_orange90_x
        I just acquired this 3D LED yesterday and it has horizontal lines on a little more than half of the screen. When I first turn it on it has thin black lines going across that makes the image look serrated, and then shortly after patterns of thicker red lines fade in. If I turn it off and right back on it will reset to just the black lines and the red will again fade onto the screen.

        I initially thought tab bonds, but flexing the bezel makes no difference, and the fact the image sort of resets after cycling power is different. I haven't opened it up yet to actually test applying...
