Pictur when reviewing a pic there are dark lines visible across the screen

Does this occur only on the camera, or is it visible on your PC during PP operations ?

Hello
This fault can occur to mainly three reasons. ABL circuit failure. Low screen voltage or lack of emission from picture tube cathode. Just advance the screen voltage to a little, and observe the result. Screen control can be located on its Line Output Transformer [LOT]. there will be two variable controls built on to LOT marked as screen and focus. Screen control will be at lower side, and focus will bw on the top. Just advance [clockwise movemnt] to a little, not more, advance it till retrace lines are just visible on the screen. Before doing this, set all the picture controls, contrast, colour and brightness of the TV to zero. Once the retrace lines[thin horozontal white lines across the entire screen at about 1 inch distance with each other]; are visible, stop there, turn the screen control counterclockwise to just a point when these lines are just goes off. make this adjustment in a dark room so that you can set this point very correct. After this check the perfomance of the picture. If this does not help you, ABL circuit should be checked for any fault.
If emission of the picture tube has got down, even the screen adjustment said above won't help you. The only way is to replace the picture tube with same type and number. OK.

then get ur camera screen repair

this happand when you dont use the Calculator long time
try the 2nd and Arrow up make the screen dark for 15 to 30 min
keep puse any key until will pass the 30 min
if it will not help than it could be the screen or the connection on the mainboard

I have the exact think happening on my Samsung LN46A530 and it has just been 2 years since I bought it. There better be a cheap fix for this because a $2,000 product has to last a lot longer than 2 years.

blue crt is shorted you will need it replaced more than likely is NOT avail

I've had that happen to me too. Try pushing the screen display button and it should work again. (It's the 1st button under the mode dial).

Hello,

Try the steps below.

Remove the Memory card
try to take picture w/out the card
if there are lines, transfer picture on the computer.

If lines exist when pics are transferred to the computer, call 1.800.235.6325 for repair.


Thanks.

Have you try'd cleaning the screen, my friend had lines on his, he took the screen out, seperated it (2 pieces) and took his time cleaning it, seem'd 98% better when he finished

I have the same problem as you... Nikon acknowledges that they have this problem on other Coolpix models, see: http://home.nikon-asia.com/pagearticle.php?pageid=43-7cc915b40d

Now, how do we get Nikon to acknowledge that this is a problem on the 5100 as well?
