My plasma tv flickering lines 50 inch hp - HP Televison & Video

If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
Line, faults & possible causes to both LCD & Plasma screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent.

Could be the power supply inside the TV is bad. Check with your local authorized Samsung repair center. DON'T try to fix it yourself.

Try changing the input device to something you are sure works. Switch off TV manually, switch off power, remove plug and retry after 48 hours. If problem persists, please refer it to a qualified service technician.

Hi.

It is probably a defective buffer board. In that case the lines will be positioned in correspondence of the buffer board connection to plasma panel. In less frequent cases the problem can also be a defective plasma panel. There are more faults that can cause the problem. The TV must be tested.

Here parts for this set: Samsung HP-R5072 shopjimmy.

hi all .ive had the same problem,a thick black line down screen.sometimes it flickers from top to bottom and other permantly in view.but i have solved it.forget your ic boards and taking apart tv.have you got either a ps3 or wii connected to tv.if so unplug power lead from socket and relocate in seperate socket.make sure the lead is completely free of any other leads and you might just find this works.i think the power lead creates some sort of frequency that the tv picks up .good luck hope it works

are parts for hp plasma tv as hard to find as ive been told need a y buffer upper board for 50 inch plasma

Take the television back to where you bought it and maybe they might repair it or swap it. It sounds like a defect in the TV.

BUT! Are you sure that its not just the aerial signal??

Would you please change the picture mode 4:3 or scan fit to 16:9?

This sounds like one of the driver boards at the bottom or top of the screen has an intermittent fault. The set will have to be taken in to a service centre.

I would suggest to call Samsung to get the Plasma repair under manufacturers warranty. The flickering will not go away until the hardware failure is corrected.
Good Luck.
