Re: For tom66: re Samsung UE46D7000

Could a bad LVDS cable cause this sort of problem

Hi Tom, you were kind enough to reply to a thread I started a few days ago but I could'nt get the pictures to upload so I've started another thread in the hope you might have a quick look at the problem with your expert eye. As I explained before the set has horrible vertical lines on all inputs and user menus but is crystal clear on the service menus using the test patterns on Napoli and Genoa boards. I have replaced the mainboard and the Tcon with no effect. not sure what to replace next.
Thanks for taking a look mate, hope everyone appreciates the amount of time you put into helping...

Re: Samsung UE46D7000 vertical lines on top of picture

Tom66: what do you make of this mate, just ran the built in test pics on the Napoli and Genoa chips using the engineers service menu and the lines aren't there, perfect picture, go back to normal tv and lines are back again on any input - Sky, Freeview, XBox.

Didn't know that, thanks for the info, I'll look into it....

Re: Samsung UE46D7000 vertical lines on top of picture

Unfortunately this is where it gets even worse - I bought the tv from Comet who are now out of business. Sucks but hey what can you do. Think I'll just go to Asda and buy a cheap ass tv that will probably last forever. Thanks for all the input chaps.

That's what I expected to hear unfortunately but thanks for your advice, damn thing cost me £1800 when it was new.

Hi guys, hoping someone might help me diagnose a fault with my tv. I'll try to include as much detail as possible.
The set is a Samsung UE46D7000 46" 3D LED, about 30 months old. Recently started getting thin vertical lines which appear to be on top of the picture. On a busy screen they're not really noticeable but on solid colours they are very prominent. For some reason if you turn the colour down to zero they completely disappear.
Up to now I have:
1. Disconnected and reseated all cable connections - no change.
2. Replaced main board - no change.
3. Replaced...
