UNKS8000 vertical lines problem

[JonathanQC]

I think my tv just died last night. From my research this is a common problem that plagued this model for years and a ton of other people had experienced the same problem as me with their own KS8000! My tv lasted 3 years and then boom! For no reason, vertical lines appears and started flickering! I bought this tv 3 years ago and it cost me $2000 cnd. At that price tag I was hoping it to last a little longer!!! I’am lost of words how disappointed I am about Samsung and their “quality” product!

 
Any help would be much appreciate. Thank you!

try shutting it down and turning it back on if that doesn't work maybe you should just buy a new one

[JonathanQC]

Already done that, but nothing has changed. Vertical lines still persist even with the “one connects box” disconnected from the tv. Thx for the response though

your welcome have you gone to the control panel yet?

[JonathanQC]

I can’t have access to the control panel cause I’am stuck with the vertical line screen no matter what. I can hear the sound, though (speakers still work at least)

try this buddy. knock on the back of the TV when it's on. if the lines disappear you have a lose cable inside the tv. this happens some times due to all the heat a tv makes

[JonathanQC]

I’ve tried it, but I still have the same problem. Thanks for the reply

what do you hear?

When my ps4 was plugged I could hear the menu sound coming out of the tv’s speakers.
