Hi to all,
came across the forum whilst researching faults for my panel and was hoping for some constructive solutions. Basically I purchased a es8000 second hand from gumtree, when i arived at the fellas house the tv was off - but to be fair he had just got home from work so didnt suspect a thing, spent 30mins or so with the tv - did the picture test etc. got home and set it up and wtihin a coupe of hours a thin yellow line on the right hand side running to pto bottom approx 1" from the side. Gutted isnt the word. Fella wont asnwer his phone I contacted samsung who told me they want £!20 to diagnose and then im possibly looking at new panel. which i can only presume takes it to £500+. anyone any ideas for a fix or alternative solutions instead of going to manufacturer out of warranty.
Also lastly is it something thatill get worse over time and will extra lines appear???
thanks
Andy
