First time poster here...

4-5 randomly spaced lines show up on all menu screens and video sources, all on the right side of screen, and all appear to be different colors.

I have seen several posts that say this is most likely a bad panel, and 1 post that says buffer boards. Just want to make sure I exhaust all possibilities before throwing in the towel. Is here anything worth trying like checking cables or cleaning it? Or is this a total waste of time?

Manufacture date 2009

Thanks in advance!...

Re: Samsung PN50A450P1D vertical lines

I have a similar situation with mine, but your lines are bit more pronounced.

Just sad that you did not get any responses yet...

Hi all, I am fast approaching 50, and have been a tinkering engineer since I was 12. I mostly build/repair PC/laptops, but now venturing into TVs, as I have a plasma with an issue I am trying to diagnose, that led me to this fine forum.
