Samsung Plasma Lines and Colors on Screen

If the horizontal line colors are not black (other colors) then the issue is with the plasma panel itself. If it is black, try playing with the resolution settings.

May be a Yscan or buffer issue, but may also be a bad panel. Plasmas are very difficult "snap diagnose".
Either way, not an inexpensive proposition.

Are the bright flecks of red color where it is supposed to be black? That could the one of the sustain boards going out also could cause the horizontal lines too depending on the board - worst case scenario - would be a bad ribbon cable on the panel itself - best case scenario - plug the tv in to an outlet that is by itself to isolate interference as a possibility.

Thanks,

If it's a new TV take it back! There is a problem with either the PDP or the Y Buffer board. If it's still under warranty, call Samsung and have them fix it.

If not, are the lines pink? If they are clustered in 1 or more strips (usually about 3 in apiece), the Y Buffers are starting to go bad. Do not watch the TV - it may cause more damage and blow the YSUS board if this is the case! Replace the affected Y Buffer, and the lines will go away. I had to replace the upper buffer in my Samsung HPR4272X/XAA (my [3] strips were horizontal, and on the upper half of the TV).

If its the Panel, there is not much you can do about it (at least in my experience) except replace the panel. At that point in time, it's more cost effective to get a new TV.

Good luck!

I really do not know there is the "Stuck Pixel Fixer programs" I think that Program Breakdown another IC. For this issue is absolutely the Plasma display panel have problem. You shall exchange it.

Hi friend,,,
welcome to fixya

Commonly for Plasma tv's if the screen went out,,the problem will be the CATHODE RAY TUBE,it is costly to buy.if you want you can buy it,,or it may be the D-board problem will be also,,,
but it is unusual,so check the tube.

if your satisfied with my solution PLEASE RATE IT

thank u...

first is it still under warranty through the manufacturer samsung is verry well with wanrranties
It sounds like it is most likely the plasma gas itself and in that case it would cost way more than what you could purchase another one for.
by the time you have a tech come out and fix the plasma gas tube itself yould be looking well over 1000

My 42" Samsung Plasma HDTV HP-R4252 has a 2" vertical strip of green pixels down the right side of the screen.

My 3 year warranty with Circuit City expires in Nov 2008.. so I hope I'm covered.. can't call until the morning.

Samsung said it might be a logic board problem.. but they want almost $2000 to fix. I might as well buy another TV if Circuit City can't fix it.
