Hi Everyone

There is a fault in the set, It will relate to one of the following:-
The main board or the connectors from the main board connecting the display panel, or the connectors on the LCD display panel side or (unlikely) the display panel itself is bad.
In other cases the line fault can be contributed to frame chips and DVB tuning boards.

Tell her to phone Samsung - you will find if you complain about it only lasting an unreasonable amount of time - just out of warranty and that it was designed to last 60,000 hours (20 years @ 8 hours a day) . Also mention that you have seen many reports of this fault online and ask why they didnt do a recall if so many were affected, you should find samsung will foot a large proportion if not all of the bill for her. If it was brought from an independant retailer they will usually push it through as guaranteed for her.

Otherwise the fault is usually expensive to sort and rarely economical to repair

Heres some pics to see if anyone can narrow the problem down thanks

as you can see on the photos you can barely see the tracks the up close one shows what the look like:Chainsaw:

different problem to smirnoff, as Hawkish says phone sammy.

is it an F86 model? if it is I hear there is a firmware upgrade available to sort this.
