TV picture compressed
in [Repair]
|
From: millerdp on 7 Mar 2005 17:59 Earlier today when I was watching a DVD the picture on the TV screen suddenly scrunched up -- the entire picture was compressed into the top half of the TV screen. I turned the DVD player off and went to a TV channel but the picture stayed scrunched up in the top half of the screen. I even unplugged the DVD player from the back of the TV, and the results were still the same. It is a Samsung 27 inch TV, model name is TXE2546. Any ideas?
From: sofie on 7 Mar 2005 18:43 millerdp: Ideas? ..... yes, definitely there is a fault with the vertical deflection circuitry or associated circuitry. Could be bad electrolytics, bad semiconductors, etc, etc. If you don't have test equipment to dust off and the experience and knowledge to do this type of repair (as indicated by your original post and question) then the best suggestion that you can get is to TAKE it to a service shop for a proper and safe repair, or at the very least, a repair cost estimate so you can make an intelligent repair decision with facts instead of Internet or telephone guesses. Usually this is not a real expensive repair so if the television has had a good, sharp picture right before the symptoms you described then it would most likely be worth fixing. -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <millerdp(a)frontiernet.net> wrote in message news:1110236355.545145.196690(a)z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com... > Earlier today when I was watching a DVD the picture on the TV screen > suddenly scrunched up -- the entire picture was compressed into the top > half of the TV screen.

In fact Dan, I used to work for a Samsung shop, and there's an upgrade kit for that, if I remember correctly. Tom
From: sofie on 7 Mar 2005 19:08 Tom: Yes, you are quite correct about the upgrade kit. Before it is installed the faulty circuitry must first be identified and fixed or some of the new parts in the kit may be toast.
