Hi Hayley,

 

Your Sky Plasma has a fault on the video PCB.

Its not a major problem but there isnt a lot of service centers out there that repair them.

I work for a center that does in essex. At a guess you are looking at around £80 labour and £4 parts.

Hope tat help you.

Hi I have exactley the same

Hi I have exactley the same problem as Halyley bought tv (Daewoo PDS4250) from Sky 2 years ago got up the other morning turned tv on and pink and green diagonal fuzzy lines all over screen perfect sound though.  Have spoken to Trading Standards and they are of the opinion that Sky should sort it out even though i am out of warranty.  Watch this space!!!!

Hi,

Hi,

If your set is around 2 years old it is worth contacting a insurance company called domestic and general.

These sets came with a 3 year cover (1year manufacture & 2 year insurance)

Yes please let us know how

Yes please let us know how you make out with this set.

Thanks for the replies but

Thanks for the replies but the TV is just over the two years, so think best chance is Sale of Goods Act

Mickey he's saying your still

Mickey he's saying your still covered under the 3 year warranty.  Look abouve at the trhead again.

Sorry misread, does that mean

Sorry misread, does that mean i can get it fixed free?

Hi Mickey,

Hi Mickey,

Yes as long as when you purchased the TV SkyBuy who you purchased it from entered all your details you are covered by D&G Insurance for Years 2 & 3 of the 3year cover.

:-) there website is www.domgen.com but isnt working at the mo :-( typical.

Another part of there web is www.dgplc.com/ but that doesnt have a tel number.

Hope that helps

Hi and thanks for your help. 

Hi and thanks for your help.  Unfortunaltey i am not covered by D&G and am therefore back to plan one.  Have just drafted letter Trading Standards send me.  Looking on the net this seems to be a common fault with this make and model,  Hayley has had the same prob and i have found at least two more people with the same fault.

Graham,Can you repair the board ? i want to get mine back up and running again,or can anyone tell me what actually goes faulty on the board ?

Hi,

Hi,

I do repair these, sorry just seen your message from a while ago.

What is your fault? are you local to essex?

i live in manchester but i

i live in manchester but i can post the board to you if need be.

 pink and green lines, the sound works ok and the pc input works

 

any ideas ?

STitches
Is it just at the lower 1

Is it just at the lower 1 inch of the picture and the rest blank? if so it is dry joints and some SMC capacitors.The fault is definatley in the video board, that is a silver tin can mounted in the middle of the set.

its the whole screen, also my

its the whole screen, also my friend has a problem which looks like a negative picture, is that the same problem ?

Hi all,

Hi all,

I too have this problem of pink and green negative picture, has anyone found out what causes this fault...

STitches
It is most likely the same

It is most likely the same PCB at fault. 99% of the faults on these sets is the video board.

With your friends TV, this might sound stupid and obvious but have they looked in there menu, In Utility & then ISM there is a invert image option.

I have had that option changed by people acidently:-)

Hi again

Hi again

Had Skubuy on the phone this morning and they said that they are going to get in touch with a repair place in my area (Brentwood Essex) to find out if this is a manufacter fault.  What i would suggest to everyone who is having the pink and green lines on TV and is out of warranty is to call Skubuy and tell them that they are having this problem.  The trouble with Supply of Goods Act is that the onus of proof is on me and therefore the more complaints of the same nature they have the better chance we all have of getting out tv's fixed free.

hi guys, i just purchased a

hi guys, i just purchased a sky 42inch and it also has a green, white and pink screen and the sound is heard. I have just plugged the laptop into it for the moment but would like to link it to freeview, when i do this i link via scart but all i hear is sound. Where i bought it from said i need to link the freeview box by an rs232 cable is this true? Another guy said that the simple menu is not as simple as it looks and that you have go into many sub menus and tune each channel manually. Anyone got any answers? Thank you.
