JVC AV-48WP30 started displaying vertical lines every inch

Recently, my JVC AV-48WP30 started displaying vertical lines every inch or so from the top to the bottom of the screen.

They're very, very narrow (about a "pixel" wide, if you will) and affect every input on the unit, including the DVI, component, TV (RF), and S-video inputs.

They "modulate", in that they change color, slightly, and intensity, almost like an amplifier or transistor is "clipping". Mostly, they appear white on dark backgrounds and vice versa, and the lines are not solid top-to bottom, but rather like some pixels are on and off in each line. They do not shift side to side at all, and always run full top to bottom.

They do _not_ appear on the onscreen menus, however, only on the tv signals.

I have _no_ idea what could be wrong, however, and no idea as to where to start looking. Any help would be most appreciated.

    same thing here, only its 52 inch and the lines are every 1/4 inch or so... all the way across from top to bottom, on game, tv, dvd, just not on tv menu boxes.

I may be a convergence problem.

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem


  • Screen looks 3D
  • Colors don't line up
  • One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
  • Screen is bowed or warped.

Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.



You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move tJVC AV-48WP30 started displaying vertical lines ev - 2c07611.pngdirections your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.

Your convergence IC's are bad. If your not doing the work it will probably cost in the neighbor hood of $250.00 for a service company to do. Not a major repair.

Repairing JVC AV-27D202 27" TV

This is caused by a bad capacitor in the vertical circuit. If you can solder, you may be able to resolve this yourself. If you wish to attempt this repair, please update this and I will provide additional details and instructions.

Jvc av-29ts2ek

It sounds like a vertical deflection problem. You mentioned you had a white HORIZONTAL LINE in the middle of the screen. If this line runs from left to right across the screen it's in Verticla deflection. If it runs from top to bottom, it's in Horizontal deflection. I am assuming the problem is a Vertical deflaecion problem. The repairs necessary are most likley to replace the vertical capacitors or the verticla deflection chip.
Good Luck

Picture bowed

This is called vertical pincushion IMHO.

With a bit of luck you should be able to adjust this from the service menu.

 

Access the service mode: set SLEEP TIMER to 0 MIN.
While this is still displayed, simultaneously push DISPLAY and
VIDEO STATUS.

JVC AV-48WP30 has vertical lines every inch or so...

This may not be the problem but its worth a try:
The plasma display screen is made of a matrix of elements connected to cables along the side and top. On your unit, some of these many, tiny connections are making contact intermittantly thus losing the elements in that area. These contacts are held in place with just pressure and if that is disturbed, you lose that line of elements. Try squeezing the cabinet of the TV on the outside at the top in the area of the loss and see if that makes a difference. May have to go inside and see if the contact assembly is disturbed or warped or something.
