Horizontal blue and black lines

separate wiring. touching wires creates cross-talk of signals.

The technician is right, the TV will not show such lines selectively. Try changing the input device to some other. Play some sure shot, genuine DVD.

It sounds that the main power supply section to your TV has the fault. The horizontal thik lines that appears crawling down across the screen should be of video 'HUM'. Have you replaced the main filter capacitor at the power supply section? If not, replace it along with the main rectifier. The AC power is rectifed by a bridge and applied ot this main filter capcitor. It will have a capacitance value between 120 to 350MFD 450VDC. Check this section. Measure the rectifed DC voltage acorss this main filter capacitor. It should be around 350VDC, if your home power supply line is 220VAC. If it is 110AC, this DC voltage will be around 165VDC; and it should be. If rectified DC voltage found lower than the input AC voltage, replace the rectifier bridge. In some sets, this bridge section have four diodes. Some other circuits, a bridge rectifier stalk may be used.

it could be that the tv convergence circuit is going bad. One shure way of finding out is to go to the tv feature menu(picture,audio etc.) and select the customer convergence setting, you should get a cross hair pattern(cross in middle of screen). that cross should be white and by aligning the red or blue colors they should move left, right, up or down

Try to do a full restore and a actualizing..!
If it doesnt solve it, the problem is with the phone so its something technical.

Sounds like a convergence problem:

Hello,
You need to adjust (actually bit decrease) G2 volts (calls Screen volts) of Blue gun.
If you are familiar with big TV repair and have electronics knowledge then let me know to guide you further.
thank you.

WHEN YOU HAVE A SOLID BLUE LINE THAT DOES NOT MOVE...YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE PANEL...LIVE WITH IT OR REPLACE PANEL..NOT COST EFFECTIVE TO REPLACE PANE....JOE ACE

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.
