Hi folks,
When looking for a solution on how to fix my TV I stumbled across the EEVblog YouTube channel.
I watched a few videos on the EEVblog YouTube channel trying to identify the fault but so far no luck...
Im still trying to fix my Samsung TV and was hoping to get some guidance on where to look for the fault.
Last night when I played around with my Wii, which is connected via RCA, I started to get strange blocks / lines on my screen.
It just happened from one second to another.
Initially I found that the Wii has had it but when switching over to HDMI I saw the issue to continue.
I realized the fault also to appear when no device is connected as I can see the picture issues also in the TV’s menu and so on and so forth.
Also restarting the TV didn’t do the trick.
I have taken the TV apart and checked all the caps on the PSU and other boards but couldn’t identify anything bloated or leaking.
Amazingly after putting everything back together and reconnecting the TV the fault didn’t show for approx. 5-10 seconds.
Then it showed some lines which disappeared again for a for a few seconds and then came back, until they stayed on the screen the entire time the unit was powered up.
I have attached some photos of the problem and was hoping you could point me in the right direction.
Even though the TV is quite old I would love to fix it as I am also not currently in the financial position to buy a new TV.
