27" Samsung ..worth fixing?
You say that the problem is present with a black screen. Does the problem go away when you have a picture on the screen? Is it present only on the A/V inputs?
once a signal is put through (xbox) thats when i get the white lines or when just watching tv. I noticed the colored ones when its just turned on with no signal. The lines are present with a/v and rf
So far it looks like a hardware issue, but it could be something else. Have you tried unplugging it for about 4 hours?
So i unplugged it for 4-5 hours and it is actually a little worse than what it was. The white lines are thicker. Any other ideas?
I don't think there's really anything else you can do at this point, since the problem is likely to be inside the TV set. You're either going to have to repair or replace it. Here's an article that can help you decide.
