Hitachi 42" plasma started a week ago with 1 faint red vertical line on the TV screen and now has 6 vertical lines. If we watch the TV or DVD movies, the lines are still present
Goodmans 32 inch flat screen, green verticle lines
On my 32" Plasma I found capacitors bulging on the Power Supply board in the HDTV. Replaced the capacitors and the lines went away. It was under $12 in parts. I have a 32" Plasma Vizio VP322.
Had the same problem. Was quoted $800 to fix. Searched the internet for 6 months and found this thread on avforums.com

Read through all the posts. Very simple fix, but you have to have some mechanical inclinations or you can cause more problems than you started with. I was up to 5 of the black lines, but decided to attempt the soldering these guys did and fixed it all for the cost of a soldering iron! Even if you decide not to attempt it, it gives you somewhere to start to tell a technician.
