Tv was fine yesterday. Turned it on today and the picture is green with horizontal lines and jumps or flickers. Any idea what's wrong?
Just unplug and plug back in. Worked for me.
Try it a few times.
May not work for everyone.
Hi,
Based on your general description, it could be:
1. loose connection or cold solder on any of the connectors and/or boards specially those related to power;
2. heat related - at some point, the heat generated inside the unit could cause a component failure or worsen a cold solder/loose connection;
3. a component is about to fail - on most Samsung projection TVs, this would be the DM board. Exhibited symptoms would be screen flickers (white flashes) and in some instances after about a minute the screen gradually turns very very bright (almost white) from the bottom of the
screen to the top.
Any
of the above would require familiarity with electronic circuitry and
components, use of a DVM and a soldering iron as well as access to a
service manual or at the very least a schematic diagram with voltage
readings. Should you be uncomfortable venturing into a DIY, perhaps
your best bet would be to seek the services of a qualified professional.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.

My samsung dlp just started this flickering green screen problem. On all inputs. A ghost image of input can be seen through the green. The sound is fine. Also, when I display the menu screen it shows up clearly with all colors.
I have a 50" Samsung DLP HDTV. I purchased it in January of 2006, and just recently it started to flicker green. This only happens on the cable input, not any auxiliary inputs, menus, or even picture in picture on cable have this problem. The only solution i've found is to unplug it for a minute and then plug it back in. It does come back occasionally though and is quite a pain.
I have the same problem. Question, is the DM board replaceable? What is approximate cost? Thanks for all your help.
I have the same problem. TV is only about 2 1/2 years old.
I turned my TV on this morning and the green/flickering almost "rolling" screen was there. Yesterday it was 100% fine. The only thing I dont understand is that it's like this from the cable box into the tv and the DVD player into the tv but the secondary connection from the cable box works fine no matter which input i use...and the other two wont work no matter what input i use. Any suggestions?
My problem is identical to "dwipman". I am curious if dipman got the problem fixed and if so, what was the final prognosis.
I have the same problem. TV shows pictures like in the included pictures. I remove power then after a couple of attempts to turn it on, it works fine, both HD and standard channels.
Exact same problem as that first picture.
It is over multiple inputs, so one could rule out it being loose connections, as well, while I am not 100% sure, it shouldn't be the color wheel. I have had a shattered color wheel before and this is not the same situation.
I imagine it's just the board that is going to fail. Everyone says it. Samsung builds these piece of **** terribly so that they consistently fail.
If anyone knows the solution, please post.
