I have a 42" Samsung HD Plasma 1080. Started going

I have a 42" Samsung HD Plasma 1080. Started going from picture to vertical lines or columns of different colors as in a rainbow. Hitting source button corrected the problem until lately. Now after the color screen with the Vertical columns the screen goes gray and I can't get it to stop cycling off and on unless I unplug the unit? Can anyone help me with these problems? HELP

Sounds like it may need to be serviced due to component failure which unchecked will get worse, it may be also worth try to reset it back to factory settings in its setup menu this should clear any software issues it may have, but I think its more possible a faulty part or parts which comes down to cost and is it worth it sadly?

Hope this helps.........

SOURCE: samsung 42" Plasma -Black vertical line when turned on.

It sounds like an Intergrated Circuit (IC) has fried. Even on a good day, this is not something you can attack at home. As a tech (and as an owner of that model samsung), I'd need a map & tools to know what's going on. Your best bet in this situation is to contact Samsung and let them recommend an authorized service center in your area. Sorry I can't be of more help, but this is a rather serious problem.

SOURCE: 42 inch samsung plasma tv black vertical lines

Hi, Depeending on the thickness of the lines matters. If the lines are Black and about 1-2 inches thick it may be a bad bottom buffer board or a bad panel (screen).
If the lines are thin 1/16 to 1/8 inch it is most likely a bad panel.
You can open up the set and depending on the model, see the thin board/boards running across the bottom with ribbon cables going to the panel. You may be able to attempt reseating the ribbon cables, but be careful as some retainer plugs break very easy.
If the lines are thick black and the reseating doesn't correct it you may be able to buy the coresponding buffer. Unfortunately some bottom buffers are actually part of the panel. If you are not comfortable taking it apart then call a professional but be aware labor charges start around $200 not counting parts, panels start at $600 up to over $1000
hope this helps
Thanks
Eric

My ten year old sony plasma tv has vertical herring bone lines no picture just color lines. Is my picture tube gone.

If its 10 years old boards and or parts will likely not be available--average life on Plasma and LCD sets is 3-5 years.

I would retire it--recycle it and buy a new set.

Tv is about 4 years old. Suddenly developed two

Your plasma screen is made up of 1080 verticle lines and now a few of these lines are not working. This is the screen itself and needs replacing.

Have a Vizio P42HDe purchased in 2005. Right half of screen is fine. Left half is series of small vertical bars (various colors). Sometimes they go away and all of screen is okay. Any ideas?

I bought mine in Jan 2005 and today it did the exact same thing....doesn't go away. Seems like a 5 yr. lifespan on these.
Will try a Panny for Christmas !!
