Re: Samsung UN55D7000 translucent horizontal flickering bar?

@Martino - good thought - I didn't think about them wiring them together. If they did that could point to a bad board. @BudM - I'll try to get my bench cleared or worst case use a bed or folding table so I can disassemble and take a look shortly - probably be Friday before I have a chance.

Thanks to you guys for sharing your knowledge and helping me sort this! You rock!

From what I can tell it's both sides. I can't find a breakdown of it - but Ebay has both sides listed.

Re: Samsung UN55D7000 translucent horizontal flickering bar?

Thanks for that martino. If I am understanding this TV's design - it's edge lit. And since the dark is on both sides equally, am I correct that I would need to replace both backlight strips? Is it common for both to go out in the exact same section at the exact same time?

Re: Samsung UN55D7000 translucent horizontal flickering bar?

OK - so - I got home - and went into the service menu, ran the Genoa-P test pattern, when I got to the solid white pattern...the bar was evident for about 1 second, then when away. Screen looked perfect! I continued through all the patterns in Genoa-P and Napoli - the bar never came back. I did a factory reset anyway, tv looked great. Powered it off and on a few times - no issue! Came back a few hours later, bar was there when I first turned it on, then went away after a few seconds. NATURALLY it was there when I didn't...

Yessir - will post tonight! Also found a "fast track troubleshooting" doc that I'm going to try as soon as I get home.

Thanks.

Good morning! I have a samsung un55d7000 that has developed a flickering grey semitransparent bar across the middle of the screen - about 4" - 5" tall. It "flickers" like a florescent light trying to start (I know there are no florescent in it...only thing I could compare it to). The image still displays through it / moves behind it. Is this a Panel, backlight, or board issue? Fingers crossed its something OTHER than the panel failing.... I haven't had a chance to pull it apart yet -we just moved into our new house and my workbench is still a massive drop zone of crap....
