Samsung Display issue

There are a series of white or brown vertical bars forming on the left side of the display. Also bars form down the middle in a light off blue color but only 1/3 the way down the display. Source box (ex. HDMI2) has a purple and green border. This happens after 1 minute of being powered on. Any thoughts on how to repair and if it is worth it?

If you are using HDMI to connect to your TV try this:
1: make sure is connected properly (give I a wiggle, watch the screen though if it changes colour it can either be the cable or a faulty HDMI connection)
2: test the cable with different HDMI ports on you TV (one of the HDMI ports might of blown whilst you were away)
3: same for pc (if multiple HDMI Available)
4: try a different cable
5: try a different machine

if none of these work try using a different connection such as VGA or dvi if TV supports if not you can always buy a HDMI to DVI connection but this wont supply sound as well. so if problem is not solved follow ones below:
1: attach VGA to on-board or Graphics card if present
2: Try other VGA port on screen and PC
3: Try Another Machine.

if none of these work then it is most likely a software related problem and I would suggest going to device manager then display adapters and check if it is a generic Microsoft Driver if so right click and go properties then details and change the drop down menu to Hardware ID you should see something like this "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0141&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_A2" what we are after is the numbers after VEN_ and DEV_ so they should be 10DE & 0141 for this example. next Google PCIDatabase and use the numbers you've just acquired to search through website [Please note the first number is for vendor (who makes it) second is for device]

the best way to do this is search VEN first and then DEV so you know who makes it then its a case of matching the numbers up. once you've done that copy the product name into Google and what OS you are using, weather it is 32 or 64 bit and last but not least you wan to put driver.

so your search will look something like this:

"nVIDIA GeForce 6600 PCI-E Video Adapter Windows 7 32bit driver"

Hope this helps

SOURCE: Purple and white distorted fuzzy lines running up and down and side to side on tv

I just had my lower Y-buffer board swapped out to fix a problem similar to yours. After an hour and a half of on-time, the lower half of the screen would flicker on and off with the same appearance you mentioned. Changing out this particular board fixed it for me. However, since it has gone from top to bottom on your set, it may be more of a main board problem for you (that controls both upper and lower halves). Beyond this, I don't know any more. I am considering getting a service manual to gain more knowledge about the various PCBs in the unit so I can fix any future problems myself.

SOURCE: Samsung 46" LCD LN46B650 started showing vertical

had a very similar situation with my Phillips 42 in. LCD TV.

Here was my Problem. The Power Supply Board. I opened it up( Warranty was Expired) and found several faulty capacitors on the PSB. Its pretty common. Major Electronic companies were sold faulty capacitors that fail in 2-5 years instead of 10-20 due to a lack of preservatives. It wouldn't surprise me if you have the same problem. TV will work fine for a few years and then just fail completely or slowly deteriorate.

Here are the solutions
1. Have it Repaired
2. Check for faulty caps and if you find some(budged or leaking) you know you have located a problem
Remove the board and replace the whole thing.
3. If you have some soldering skills you can replace the faulty caps.
Caps are very inexpensive, under a dollar in most cases. I replaced 4 for about $5.00

Hope this Helps.
Good Luck

RIGHT SIDE VERTICAL WHITE BAR IN PICTURE

LCD set if white either communication issue from main to panel or a board that drives that side of screen (inverter possible but not real likely)

If you can get a schematic scope the digital board to the output and look for issues there--if white not likely the display panel but you never know....

I have a IBM 9068 Model S01,it is sometimes showing error code 18.If I tilt up the printer assembly during the printer power on it is ok.If I tilt down the printer assembly meaning to it's original...

Error 18 is a "Paper Edge Search Error".


1. Check document for damage and check it meets specs.
2. Check that Ribbon Cartridge is installed correctly.
3. Do "Form-Edge Sensor Service Check"
4. Do "Platen" adjustment.

Sensor Status Display:

1
. Start Self-Test (press and hold Start 1 on panel: then turn on printer. Keep holding button until at least "00" is displayed.
2. Use a magnet to override cover closed/open sensor to the left of the Start1 button in the indent.
3. Press Reject Off button until "4" is displayed.
4. Press Start1 button to shift to next digit.
5. Press Reject Off to display "4"
6. Display should now read "44"
7. Press Start2 button. The LED display indicates sensor status'
8. You will see changes with inserting paper or removing paper.

FORM-EDGE SERVICE CHECK:
Perform sensor status display as stated above. The sensor is located on the print head carriage on the left side.

1. The upper right vertical segment of the left LED digit is assigned to the form-edge sensor for Command "44"
With no paper the LED segment is unlit.
2. Check the sensor by inserting paper. Move the print carrier to the right to access the sensor mounted on the print carrier.
If the LED segment becomes lit when you insert the paper, and becomes unlit when you remove the paper, sensor is OK.
3. If the sensor does not work, check that the sensor cable is connected correctly. If the cable is okay, replace the following one at a time:
a. Form Edge Sensor -46H2648
b. Form Edge Sensor Cable -46H2730
c. Main Card -
1.46H2632 - Serial Interface
2.46H2634 - Parallel Interface
