Re: Repair nightmare with Samsung LCD/LED experts pls help!

Well the TV is out of warranty by a year. Through my many complaints they finally agreed to replace the panel. They said they would not do anything else for me considering. Would a bad main board cause a power supply board to fail?

I have a Samsung UN55C7100 and I am in a repair nightmare. Please if anyone has knowledge I would greatly appreciate help.

1st - One day the Panel went out, it had vertical lines through it. Samsung agreed to replace the panel so a technician came out and replaced the panel and F-Con board.

2nd - A week later the TV died, apparently it was a power supply board. I ordered a new power supply board (refurbished) and replaced it myself, The TV worked for a week and then it seems like the power supply board went out again!

Is this just my bad luck? Or...

Re: Samsung 55" vertical Lines (UN55c7100)

Yea I been reading that its either a bad panel or bad tcon board. I was hoping it was the 30 dollar part. Is there anyway to diagnose which to be sure?

I have this TV I have spent $2000.00 when it came out. I have only had it a couple years and now BOOM problems..

I have researched a little about TV repair and with the proper guidance I feel I can fix this. I have done repair on laptop screens in the past, not many but just a couple.

So I have this couple of vertical lines down the screen, depending on what the picture is, it will change from a teal, to purple to green, black or white. There is another line that comes and goes a little further to the right, sometimes its there, some times it goes away.
