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!

I'm guessing your t-con board is faulty. you can take it apart grab the number off of the board an order a new one for probably around 50-150 $

just look up the TV model with the number you get of the T-Con board

[JonathanQC]

Good I’ll check this out but T-Con board ? What is that ? main board?

it's a smaller board that controls signals coming in an out. since the tv is coming on an just showing lines this is often the problem 9 out of 10 times.

I'll go shopping for you, I'll be back :)
