Jesus. I had the same thing with the cable input. Years of twisting and pulling to try to get the thing to unstripe, mostly unsuccessful. Pressing in...it fucking worked!... brilliant. Thank you!
Amazing! We do have to press the HDMI input every now and then, but no more of the thumping on the back of the tv which had become a routine over the past few weeks. Thank you very much for uploading this video.
Have had this happening to our living room tv for about 6months and thought it was broke, but this worked first time and it hasn’t happened since. Hero 👍🏻
We have a tv sitting in the garage for years, my husband tried to fix it replacing something, don’t know what but it only last about 6 months. I just tried your trick, it did take just seconds and $0.00 dollars and it worked, it really did, can not thank you enough!
Thanks, we've had this problem for roughly 12 years now and the only solution we've found was tapping on the back of the TV and 90% of the time the lines went away. I tried this trick and it was gone. My HDMI cable inputs aren't located in the same area as yours are but it still worked. I'll keep you posted on the longevity of this fix. THANKS!
Thank you mate. Worked straight away. I’d watched loads of videos and was about to take the rear casing off my tv to try cleaning it. Failing that I thought I’d have to buy a new tv. Nearly didn’t watch your video because I thought how can he fix the screen in 48 seconds. Ha. Top man.
The reason this works momentarily is because after awhile the solder connections begin to come frail and start cracking. It will work for awhile but will eventually make things worse. You can bake the board in your regular oven at 385 for 10 minutes and it will reflow the solder connections for a longer duration. But still a good tip to keep more people out of the back where high voltage can hurt or even kill someone that doesn't understand electronics.
When I had this problem, I opened up the back of the TV and found that some of the paper labels on the equipment had dried out and fallen on the wiring, etc. Removing them was enough to fix the problem.
I have lines but they change colors and position etc. When i push on the back it takes them away but when I release they come back. My HDMI port is loose and crooked so it isn't working. When i push in the area it sort of works. Is there anything else I can do? Could I take it apart to fix it etc? Thanks, Josh
I have this same model. This issue increasingly got worse over the years until I assume the hdmi port fell off the board and no connection would work anymore. I replaced the board and the issue has been non exisitant for about a month now, but the lines showed up last night 😣 what a faulty model!
This model really seems to resemble the LN46C670. Is that the one you have, and is the lines issue a common issue? I only ask, because I'm about to purchase a used one of these.
Ray Jones yea until they decide to start censoring(or more probable, messing w/ search algorithms) these videos too because their advertisers pay more to get you buy new ones. Sooner than later my friend.
You can order replacement hdmi chips and solder in a new one.. This may work for a while but eventually the hdmi will end up breaking or shorting out the TV. My RCA lcd TV did the same thing.. You'd think they would come up with a method to make them more resistant to breaking over time but TVs are a dime a dozen so I guess it doesn't really matter I guess..
It worked... but due to covid19, it was furloughed. But really, ...Opened up TV and made a plastic plate to put over the 1 of the hdmi ports for light but permanent back pressure on mainboard once the rear cover was reinstalled...
Thanks for the comment! Glad this could help you out a little bit. You definitely got a little laugh out of me on your first comment too! The plastic plate is a pretty awesome idea! Wish I would have thought of that before I sold this TV but oh well. I hope your solution holds up and gets you a lot more life out of your TV!
Communities End Yes, that is correct. The solder joints for the port will fail over time causing the port to loosen and pull away from the board. The result of the poor connection is the colored vertical lines that appear in this video. I wish I still had the tv because I would have created more of an instructional video on how to fix this. I only uploaded this video to show potential buyers the condition that the tv was in. Didn’t realize this many people would come across it and find it helpful!
@@jimio2900 the solder connection between the hdmi port and the circuit board is loose. Reflowing the solder means heating it up so it melts and reestablishes the connection between the board and the prongs of the hdmi port.
Lol it worked but I have no idea why it started or why this fixes it. Any ideas? The only variable has been the weather. It’s been cold lately but we run the heater so the temperature difference should be minor.
Thanks for the comment. The cause of this is a loose solder joint between the hdmi port and the main board. Pushing in the hdmi port temporarily re-establishes the connection which causes the lines to go away.
Amitabh Bansal No, there is no button unfortunately. The issue is usually caused by a loose HDMI port, so I was pushing on the HDMI ports. This should improve the connection to the main board and temporarily get rid of the lines on the screen. Hope this helps. Feel free to comment back with any questions.
Bruv my TV just gone purple and static and made some loud ass static noise I could see my Xbox screen but when I turned Xbox off still purple and it was 3:43 am so it woke me up(I probably fell asleep 10 mins before) but what do I do I think it's cause TV overheating but do I turn it back on or not cause I don't trust it
It’s hard to know for sure if it would work with your tv. You said yours has a closed back though right? Do you mean that there are no places to plug anything in on the back or side of the TV?
I’m sorry this didn’t work for you! This was a Samsung and I believe it was purchased around 2009-2010. Does your problem look very similar to one in the video? I can try to help figure out another way to fix the issue.
Jared Robert Hi Jared! Very nice of you to respond. I bought my Samsung “55” Curved HDTV at Best Buy in 2016! I just got it paid off this year, and this happens! 🤨 I have never had any problems until now! Here’s some info: Model No. UN55KS8500FXZA Curved. S/N 05k33CDHA07719X Version No. AA02 It’s UltraHD Premium Quantum Dot Color HDR 1000 MR 240 Smart HUB 4 HDMI 8000 series. I am trying to copy you some photos of the Vertical lines and the back of the TV Panel I took off, but, somehow they won’t copy! I have a iPhone so I selected a video I took and two photos and it won’t paste! Annoying! I have no idea why...I will keep trying! I only had a two year warranty on it, so the Geek Squad told me they will only fix it under warranty. I called Samsung and they referred me to Alpha Electronics in my city of South Bend, Indiana. I cannot even get my remote to bring up the Menu for Troubleshooting! The remote works and I have sound, but, no picture! I have seen several TH-cam videos on what might be causing the vertical lines. Most say to replace the T-con board or it may be a blown panel. I would need a tech to come out and do that! I put the TV together but taking it apart is not a good thing for me to do. If you can help. I would appreciate your input. I have no idea what the tech cost would be. Have not called for a quote. If it’s going to be too much, I will have to buy another TV. It crazy! It’s only 4 years old! I paid $1, 176.99 for it! I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Thank you for all of the info, and I totally understand what you are saying. It can be very frustrating to pay someone to fix electronics and unfortunately many will overcharge if they feel you don't have the knowledge to challenge them. Based on what you said, it does seem that it is most likely an issue with the T-con board. I believe the only other explanation would have been a loose HDMI port such as the one in my video. I'm sure you have done this by now, but I will include it for clarity. STEPS TO CHECK FOR BAD HDMI CONNECTION: Turn the TV on. Have someone watch the screen as you apply light pressure to each of the HDMI ports individually. If any of the ports feel loose or if the picture changes any as you press on the port, it is likely an issue with the solder connection to the main board. If none of the ports are loose and applying pressure shows no change, it is likely that the T-con board is the issue. I will look to see if the T-con is available for a fair price online. If so, it isn't too hard to change out and can be done by anyone that is somewhat handy.
Jared Robert Thank you Jared! I will try that again. I called Alpha Electronics and he said they were currently not going into homes to fix TV’s. He told me I would have to bring the TV to them. No way am I able at this time to carry my 55” TV to their shop! I don’t have the box it came in, plus, I would have to pay someone to take it there. That would cost more money. He told me they charge a $50 fee to test the TV. He said it could be one of these issues: 1) Main Board (2) Screen (3) One Connect Box I told him about what you had done with the bad HDMI connection. He said that’s a temporary fix, but, you will still have to fix the problem eventually. At least it would be a fix instead of buying a new TV. He told me my Samsung would be expensive to fix, could run up to $400. He told me it is better to buy a new one. At this point, I am thinking about a new one, but, if I could fix this one for a reasonable price it would be worth it to me. It is still like a brand new TV. I cannot believe these TV’s today that don’t last more than 4 years! The guy from Alpha Electronics was very knowledgable about TV’s. We talked about the new Samsung Qled compared to the LG OLED since I wanted one of those when I bought my current TV. He said the LG OLED was still having this one issue since he works on them and suggested I go with the Samsung QLED. I am a senior and retired. I have no family myself, no sons, and my Sister and her husband are another state away. I can do some things ok electronically, the simple fixes, etc. but I have to hire people to do most. There is an app called Thumbtack that I used once to have my sofa removed from my apartment. It cost me $150! They have pros that you can hire for all kinds of projects. Some charge $60 to $80 an hour. I have not found one for TV repair. Only computer repair. I will keep searching! Thank you so much for your efforts in trying to help me. We all need DIY projects to save money. You should charge for your consultation! I would pay you if you fixed my TV! Your kind to give help on TH-cam. I will try the steps for a Bad HDMI Connection you listed. I will give you an update soon!
Femie Day It’s actually the HDMI port that I’m pushing on, not a button. This issue is usually caused by a loose HDMI port, so pushing on it will help temporarily improve the connection and usually fix the lines on the screen.

NO WAY......that fixed it mate...ur spot on...good work Jared !!!
Worked for me also but I pressed on the pc in connection on a samsung led tv.
Thank you for your video
Ricardo Silva where is that?
Wow!, 2022 this trick still works, Much thanks.
Crazy, that actually worked (QNIX UHD monitor).
Do you still have this TV? Does it have the Content Library feature?
A year of beating tf outta my tv to get the lines to go away AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS PRESS INTO MY HDMI PORT OMG 😂😂😂
💀💀I’ve been beating tf outta mine too
Awesome job

Can I please ask for you’re opinion on whats going on with my brand new right out of the box tv screen?
Thank you. It worked for Samsung LN46C670M
Thank you Sir
This worked!! Whew. Got scared for a bit lol
U the GOAT 🐐
Thank you You saved me at least $ 600 I was going to go buy a new TV. It works great again.

Crazy I unplugged the HDMI wire from the TV and blew the dust off it and I replugged the wire. It worked well as new.
I just have to try this. For almost everyone to say it worked, it should for me too. I will come back with result.
Worked for me Jan 2020

thanks man it's damm worked 🥰🥰
you are the best

So the hdmi port is pulling away from the circuit board then, I guess.

A more permanent fix would be to remove the board and apply heat near the connections in order to reflow the solder.
@@xjrod504x What does solder reflow means , is that got to do with dirt or rust?
