Jeromy I have a Vizio LED SmartCast E40-do. Audio works, but the screen is black with a jagged bright line of light going across the bottom half of the screen. Any idea what the problem may be?

    It's a new tv that was shipped to me damaged. The seller told me to dispose of it. There is no physical damage to the surface. Just wondering if it can be fixed.

SOURCE: LN-T4665F 46 in. LCD- Black Line across screen

The set is under a year old and is under warranty. The LVDS cable inside these sets have a history of coming loose. The problem could be the panel. Either way, the set is the problem and needs to be looked at. This set is worked on in the home and does not need to be taken to a shop, so, you can still use it. Contact Samsung at: 1-800-SAMSUNG Hope this helps.

SOURCE: thin horizontal black line appeared lower half of

Fixed non moving lines usually means you have a problem in the panel display or t-con. If it is in warranty get it to a factory authorized service center. If not you can try to change the t-con and see if this fixes the problem, if not then it will be the panel it's self and will be cost prohibitive to repair.

SOURCE: Vizio 42 in TV LCD HDTV white line across to of

That white line (usually jagged) is actuallly part of the transmitted picture. However, you are not intended to see it because it is located in what is known as the 5% overscan area. Your TVs today are more than just cable ready... they are a versital, technology filled multimedia display. You can see that line because the screen size or wide mode you are using is intended for 1080p/24 signals. You have 0% overscan with this screen size setting. This allows you to see ALL of the picture, including portions of the picture the broadcaster did not intend for you to see. You can change your screen size using the Wide feature in the Setup menu. See pg.62 of your user manual for details and descriptions of the various wide modes.

I have a Sony FD Trinitron 27' Model # KV-27FV310. It is approx 8 years old. After turning it on and watching a full screen for a few minutes; all of a sudden, a line came across half the screen;

top half missing is in vertical circuit of set---if it is a 27 inch and this old consider retiring it and replacing----other option is consider having a shop repair it--a rough guess would be as high as 150 dollars parts and labor is possible for your problems.

Monitor

If your LCD monitor has damage it could be in three forrmats:

1) Damage LCD ribbon. The screen will power up bright white and you will see random strings of color in diaganol or horizontal streaking slowly across your screen.

2) Damaged Liquid Crystal Container. The thin glass/plastic may have ruptured due to an impact on the screen. You will see sharp jagged lines and maybe a partial post screen, but where the sharp "jaggies" are, are now permantly broken

3) Nothing on screen. This indicates that your internal CCFL (oh I love LED technology) tubes have now lived their life and will not ignite. To test this method, hold a very bright light to the screen and see if you can see any logos (Compaq/HP/Win Xp loading screen...etc)

If you can see something, your screen is fine, but there is no light behind it for you to see.

Hope this helps.

SONY KV-27FV310: UPPER HALF OF SCREEN IS BLACK

You have a vert sweep problem and unless you know how to trouble shoot this cuircit bring it to a pro. I found out mostly in these sets that the vert output IC is bad.. Also sometimes the b+ filter cap off the fly is leaky and made the IC to fail. Another thing is Im surprised to hear you got a pic with the vert failure and a bright line in the pic!! This could be a big problem when the sets fixed so dont run it too long like this. It could burn a line all the way across the screen and you will see a dark faint line in your pic because of this. BE CAREFULL!!
