Well, I was playing my 360 on my Samsung 226BW today and all of the sudden a yellow line from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen appeard. It looks like a single row of pixels just got stuck in yellow line from the top to the bottom. After a slight panic, I hit the power button and turned it off. I waited a couple seconds and turned it back on. IT WAS STILL THERE!
I got the cloth that came with the screen and gently rubbed the screem and it dissapeared. I played some more and it came back. I applied pressure again with the cloth and it vanished again. After letting it sit for a few hours I played again. It came back. This time I tested the DVI connection and the line still displayed. After it happened atleast 8 times today, I started trying things. I notice that massaging the screen at the bottom does not cause the line to dissapear, only rubbing it at the top makes it vanish.
I called Samsung customer support, who did not seem very knowledgable. She just reccomended that I take it back to the store I purchased it at. I can do this, as I got it at CC.
Here's the problem. I mean, I landed an "S" panel with no dead pixels, now I have to return it and risk getting an "A" panel or one with dead pixels? Has anyone ever had anything like this happen?
Let me know if you guys have any advice.
