Hi a random horizontal black line has appeared across the front my 1 yr old Samsung QE55Q7FAM 55" 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart QLED TV. Can you advise on any fixes?! It wasn’t there 5 minutes ago

Uhm, that was so funny! I'm from Hungary, so here my answer:
I walked to the factory service center where I was informed of this common fault, the resin dries out at the ribbon cable, so the contacts do not get in contact. Many devices are introduced, most of which improve on the go because the back cover is pressed. The error comes over time, doesn't it happen to be an unplanned obsolescence, does it? Repairing it would cost more than a new device. 😕
