Techy help AGAIN!!

[Mike]

We've got a Samsung LCD TV, its developed a teeny tiny little blue line down one side of the screen? Happened literally overnight?

Im guessing my screens about to give up as me & my ex had a 52 inch plasma that done a simliar thing before it died/blew up one afternoon on me :( cost me a fecking fortune so id like to expect it this time round lol

Any gen?

EDIT: Just to add, it really is a teeny tiny little line, so small you can barely see it basically.

have you moved your home phone near to it?

[Tidy Max]

have you moved your home phone near to it?

what, like through the screen?? lol

i think it may be possible that a column driver has gone, now i known very little about this but i remember having a conversation with my boss and basically every pixal on a screen is controlled pretty much independantly it is selected by column then row, e.g b6, being 2 pixels along, 6 down,

not if whatever drives your 'b' column has gone (dried capacitor, melted resistor etc) then you will end up with a whole column going back to default (default being blue i assume as if i go on an input thats got no signal going to it, the screen is blue.

wouldnt have a clue how to fix it IF thats what has happened like, sounds like warrenty is your best bet to me

Meh, ive just blagged a Samsung 32" LCD via eBay to replace it anyway.

Thanks for the help tho chaps :) muchos appreciated
