techwood plasma

I have recently had a vertical black line approx 1"-2" wide appear about a third of the way along the screen.It is a 42" plasma screen about 14 months old,the line runs from top to bottom of screen.Does anybody have any ideas,does this look like a fault or could one of the kids have got the remote control & altered some settings by mistake.

My first guess is that there

My first guess is that there is an electronic problem with the TV. Can you post a picture of the problem?

I have a similar problem with

I have a similar problem with lines in my 42" Zenith Plasma almost the exact same age but the lines are very thin and differnt colors that actually change color depending on the background picture color.  Is this a common problem with Plasmas?

Patrice,  your problem is one
Patrice,  your problem is one or a combination of two problems.  I have seen a simple ribbon cable connector or connection be bad and/or intermittant that can cause this problem.  I have also seen the drive IC cause a problem such like  this.  The bad news is  it could be that the Ics are mounted on or with the screen as alot of maufacturers are doing these days and have to be replaced as an assembly.  This is , if this is the case not a inexpensive thing to do.  Hopefully this is not the case and a bad connection.  This is not a repair job for the handi person or a mechanicly inclined person to do.  There are no user serviceable parts inside this set so PLEASE call a repair person asap as this is going to get worse and if the screens not bad then it will go bad. Good luck and please let us know how you made out, and thanks for visiting us at techlore.com
