seeing annoying horizontal lines on your
0:02
highsense TV screen don't worry you're
0:04
not alone and it's usually an easy fix
0:06
in this video I'll walk you through some
0:08
quick steps to get rid of those lines
0:10
and get your picture back to normal no

tech skills needed just follow along and

if this video helps hit the like button

subscribe and tap the bell so you don't
0:18
miss future fixes let's jump in start by
0:21
turning off your TV completely and
0:23
unplug it from the wall don't just leave
0:25
it on standby actually disconnect the
0:27
power now press and hold the power
0:29
button on the TV itself not the remote
0:32
for about 15 to 30 seconds this helps
0:34
drain out any leftover electricity that
0:36
might be stuck in the system after that
0:38
wait at least one full minute before
0:40
plugging it back in if you've got a bit
0:42
more time giving it a couple of minutes
0:44
won't hurt either once the minutes up
0:46
plug it back in and power it on
0:48
sometimes this simple reset clears up
0:50
temporary glitches that mess with the
0:52
screen display if the lines are still
0:53
there let's dig deeper unplug all HDMI
0:56
cables and any connected devices like a
0:58
Fire Stick cable box or game console
1:00
with just the power cable connected turn
1:02
the TV back on if the lines disappear
1:05
the issue might not be with the TV at
1:07
all it could be your HDMI cable or one
1:09
of your devices causing interference to
1:11
find the exact cause reconnect each
1:14
device one at a time until the lines
1:16
reappear if you spot any dust or gunk
1:18
try gently cleaning the HDMI ports and
1:21
cable ends with compressed air you can
1:23
also test different HDMI ports to see if
1:25
that helps still no luck try switching
1:27
to a different input source for example
1:29
if you're using a game console try
1:31
playing a video through a USB stick or
1:33
switch to a streaming box if the
1:34
horizontal lines vanish when using a
1:36
different input it's a good sign the
1:38
problem is with the original input
1:40
device not the TV itself also check how
1:42
your TV is getting power if it's plugged
1:44
into a surge protector extension cord or
1:47
smart plug remove those for now plug the
1:49
TV directly into a wall outlet unstable
1:51
voltage from extra devices can sometimes
1:53
mess with how your screen displays if
1:55
possible even try using a different wall
1:57
outlet in another part of the room just
1:59
to be sure don't forget to take a look
2:01
around your TV too move away any nearby
2:03
electronics like Wi-Fi routters or large
2:05
speakers these can cause electromagnetic
2:07
interference which sometimes leads to
2:09
visual issues like screen lines one last
2:11
tip make sure the TV screen is clean and
2:13
free of damage sometimes what looks like
2:15
a technical glitch is just something as
2:17
simple as a smudge or shadow on the
2:19
screen and that's a wrap on fixing those
2:21
horizontal lines on your HighSense TV i
2:24
hope one of these steps worked and your
2:25
screen's looking good again if it helped
