samsung 19" goes black

skapunkit · Guest

Hi my samsung 19" tv (probly 5 years old) has recently been going to all black except a narrow strip in the very middle. This is after the TV has been on a minute. If I bump the tv i can get the picture back for awhile. Dont know much about TV's, want to know if there's any easy solution to this.

It sounds like a crook solder joint in the verticle section of the circuit board. Not too hard to fix. Do you know how to solder?

My money's on cold soilder joint in the vertical circuit as well. Here is what I would advise. Trace 'V' pair of wires coming from the neck area of your picture tube to where they attach to the main board. Then touch-up soilder all the joints in a 3-5 square inch area. That should square you away I'll wager.
