noticed weird vertical lines on your
0:01
Samsung TV annoying right but don't
0:04
worry you're not alone and better yet
0:06
you might not need a new TV in this
0:08
video I'll walk you through easy fixes
0:11
from simple cable checks to Quick
0:12
setting tweaks to get your screen
0:14
looking Crystal Clear again so grab your
0:16
remote and let's fix this together the
0:18
first and simplest fix is a power reset
0:21
unplug your TV from the wall socket and
0:23
locate the power button on the TV itself
0:26
it might be underneath or on the back
0:28
hold the button down for about 30
0:30
seconds this step is crucial as it
0:32
drains any residual power that could be
0:34
causing the display issues after the
0:36
time is up plug your TV back in but make
0:39
sure to connect it directly to the wall
0:41
socket instead of a power strip which
0:43
can sometimes contribute to the issue
0:45
once it's plugged in turn your TV back
0:47
on and check if the lines are still
0:48
there if they persist let's move on to
0:51
the next step check your HDMI cables and
0:54
ports a loose or damaged HDMI cable can
0:57
often be the culprit behind vertical
0:59
lines on your TV screen start by
1:01
examining each HDMI cable connected to
1:03
your TV disconnect them one by one and
1:06
inspect for visible damage if you see
1:08
any wear or fraying consider replacing
1:11
the cable when reconnecting make sure
1:13
they are plugged in firmly and securely
1:16
sometimes simply resting a cable can
1:17
resolve the problem additionally if your
1:20
TV has multiple HDMI ports try switching
1:23
the cable to a different one this helps
1:25
determine whether a specific Port is
1:27
faulty while you're at it apply slight
1:29
pressure to the HDMI ports and
1:31
connectors just enough to ensure a solid
1:33
connection this minor adjustment can
1:36
sometimes improve signal transmission
1:37
and eliminate those annoying lines if
1:40
the HDMI check didn't solve the issue
1:42
the next step is updating your TV's
1:44
firmware and running diagnostic tests
1:46
navigate to your TV settings menu using
1:48
the remote head over to support and
1:51
select software update if your TV is
1:53
connected to the internet you can
1:55
download and install any available
1:56
updates directly if not you may need to
1:59
download the lat firmware from Samsung's
2:01
official website onto a USB stick and
2:03
manually update your TV keeping your
2:06
firmware updated ensures your TV is
2:07
running efficiently and helps fix bugs
2:10
that could be causing display issues
2:12
after updating it's a good idea to run
2:14
self- diagnosis tests go back to the
2:17
settings menu select support and look
2:19
for device care or self diagnosis
2:22
depending on your TV model run a picture
2:25
test or other relevant Diagnostics to
2:27
detect and potentially fix the vertical
2:29
line issue if your screen still isn't
2:31
back to normal a factory reset might be
2:33
the solution this will restore your TV
2:36
to its default settings potentially
2:38
resolving any software related glitches
2:40
causing the lines to do this grab your
2:42
remote go to the settings menu select
2:45
General then reset you'll likely be
2:48
prompted to enter a pin code if you've
2:50
never changed it the default is usually
2:53
0000 follow the onscreen instructions to
2:56
confirm the reset keep in mind that a
2:59
factory reset will arase all your
3:00
personalized settings so only proceed if
3:03
you're comfortable with starting fresh
3:05
once the reset is complete set up your
3:07
TV again and check if the lines have
3:09
disappeared if none of these methods
3:11
work the issue could be Hardware related
3:14
internal components like the ton board
