Re: Samsung Plasma Tv with black vertical bar.



I will try tonight. I didnt do every cable, just the ones closest to the bar's area of the screen....

Re: Samsung Plasma Tv with black vertical bar.

also that colored vertical line in the very center of the screen is there from the moment I hit the power button. so...dead panel, right?

Re: Samsung Plasma Tv with black vertical bar.

im having a similar issue. I have a black bar straight down the center of the tv, and if you were to divide the tv into two equal squares, there is a thin strip right in the middle of the screen within the black bar. I opened the TV up, and the bar is located where there aren't any ribbon cables or anything going right to where the bar is generated on the screen. should I check one of the boards? I will open it up again if yall think its fixable. otherwise ill sell the boards and scrap the screen.
I upgraded to the newest firmware...

Re: Samsung Plasma Tv with black vertical bar.



did you have any ideas about this tom66?...

Re: Samsung Plasma Tv with black vertical bar.

what does it mean if the black abr shows pixels inside? I have a samsung plasma with that issue. the bar is in the middle, where the two thin boards that control the vertical pixels are hooked together with jumper-wire type of connector. I can add a picture if that helps.
