I have a barely I year old Samsung UHD Tv 65" 9000 series and last night while watching basketball, I noticed a very thin green verticsl line about 4-5" from the right edge of the tv on the screen. Wh

I called a local tv repair shop he said that he'd have the see the unit to give an exact price but their labor rates were from $79.95-$179.95 + parts =(

Hello Andrew, Could I get you to please post the model number and make of the set. I will be better able to assist you.

Exact same thing happened to me last night. The TV only received High Def chanles. When switched to reg. chanels, there are green vertical lines. Light is definitely on and visible in the back. Now goes out after abut 30 sec. Misery loves company. Will watch the site for a solution. 4yrs. old just went off extended warranty 45 days ago. damn

It depands if you watch say 5 hours a night times 7 nights 35 hours a week times 52 weeks a year. you be suprise.

The x-sus or y-sus panel wil be the fault.Check the fuses on these panels ,if one of the fuses is open then that panel must be replaced.Not verry cheap to replace.

Your TV needs the Convergence Amp IC's replaced.Call a good TV Tech for an estimate. Should not cost over $325.

What would cause that is failure of some part (probably a filter capacitor) in the set's power supply. The usual cause is component stress due to manufacturers keeping their costs down by using parts that just barely can stand their operating voltages. (Higher rated parts would last longer, but would cost more.) Some parts are just a little too weak and break down. It's not unusual to have this kind of problem these days. The set would be repairable unless there was physical damage to the circuit board itself. You might have it looked at and get an estimate for the repair.

my maxent plasma tv has the same problem but it has green and red lines. I found out that hitting the tv from the back works. It used to last a long time but now i have to get up now and then to slap the tv on back with my hands! anyone with a long term solution?

John,

First, Id like to know how old is your unit? Also, the lines indicates in issue with regards to the lifespan of your tube. The dominant green color has something to do with a malfunctioning ray gun of your tube. However, i had encounter a unit that was resolved by simply resoldering the circuitry of same problem.
Why dont you try to resolder the board first.

Response is highly appreciated.
