Re: PN50C490B3DXZA Vertical Sporadic Lines

Thank you.

I searched "Plasma TV bad panel" in Google and the first result seemed to be for a TV of the same family as mine. The guy the video is having the exact same problem as me and he deduced that it was the panel as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know what to search for and couldn't find the symptoms in the common plasma TV problems thread.

If you're interested in the video I watched I will link it here:

Hey forum,
I have come here looking for advice. My 50 inch Samsung 3D plasma TV has progressively started to develop vertical, sporadic lines. The lines themselves are stationary, but the colors that make them up are unpredictable and are constantly changing. It is similar to localized static.

Things I have done to troubleshoot:
Replace X-Main
Replace Logic (t-con?) board
Disconnected all connectors, wiped with dry paper towel then reconnected.

I am at a loss with what is wrong with the TV. I do not think it is the input board because...
