It distorts at tedge of picture anoying

this happens with some tv's. the lamps in back burn out and so they don't light up. im not sure on the cost of fixing it but it is probably cheaper & or better to just buy a new one.

Hello!

That can be repaired, the vertical and the horizontal that regulate the voltage towards the projection maybe lessen or fulty. you can let the service man/service center repair this. these not much cost you, that is very cheap part and a minimum labor cost.

You may have a couple of problems.The shading is probably caused by a defective light tunnel, Samsung is covering the cost to repair this problem on certain models. You can call 1-800-samsung to find out if it is covered. The noise and color distortion sound like the color wheel is also beginning to fail. Both of these components are inside the light engine and I would recommend not trying it yourself.

I had the same kind of problem with a projection tv I had it was as simple as removing the front panel to expose the lightbulbs where there are 6 screws two for each color one for focus and one for power if after adjusting theese and going into the setup and adjust the color calibration it still does not work you want to make sure the three light bulbs on the bottom are alll working as missing one light can cause tints and the distortion your talking about

Sorry but these are classic symptoms of a failed ccd imaging chip, and it's effectively irreparable.

Repair costs will exceed what you could buy another brand new one for (£58), although it is a discontinued model. £70 ish would buy an equivalent current model replacement and would still be cheaper than the repair costs. Buying the spare part alone (you probably can't anyway) will typically cost more than buying a replacement camera.

The only way your camera is going to be worth a repair is if it is still under the manufacturer's one year warranty as it won't cost you anything, but the model was discontinued around two years ago so this option is unlikely to apply.


Sorry that the outlook for this is bleak, but hopefully you have found my reply to be of use. If so please rate my answer.

Not the bulb,Bulb is good.The convergence is dead.Must know how to solders?To repair it ur self.Must replaced 2 convergence ICS and some or all the resistors.Tries Tv repair World.com,Tvrepairkits.com to buy a convergence kit.The Shop will cost u $300 for parts and labors.

Ask the repair man which boards needs replacing and what he thinks the problem ?

If its just the power supply board then just a few components (like capacitiors) needs replacing not the entire board.

The cost of 2 boards would be approx £175 maybe more just for the parts not including labour.

I recommend getting a second opinion if you feel this person may be ripping you off.

My TVs power board cost £89 to replace..luckily i discovered the problem with the board it needed new 6 capacitors (which had blown out) and got it repaired for £50 including parts and labour.

Good luck!

This unit is getting distortion form the video circuits, most likely capacitors or resistors causing distortion to the input or output circuits. This problem could be caused by a bad video amplifier also ,which is distorting the signal. This problem needs to be checked with an oscilloscope to follow the signal path and find the source of the distortion. Usually this is best handled by a service center. If the unit is still under warranty call this number for Insignia customer help : 1-877-467-4289. If the unit is not under warranty, you should take it to a service center and have an estimate of the problems and repair costs. You can find parts for this television at the Best Buy parts website. Just google it and put in the number of your television and it will list all available parts and prices. You can also call this number for Best Buy parts : 1-888-237-8289. Hope this helps you with your problem.

What do you mean by distorted? The TV can be adjusted using the remote and entering the service mode. Can you send a picture of the distortion that is being displayed?
