ORANGE OR RED VERTICLE LINE DOWN RIGHT SIDE OF SCREEN?

WHEN I TURN MY VIZIO P42HD ON, THERE IS ABOUT A 2in VERTICLE LINE THAT RUN DOWN THE LENGHT OF THE SCREEN,

AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE PICTURE STARTS FADING IN AND OUT BETWEEN CLEAR/SHARP TO WHATS LOOKS LIKE A PHOTO NEGATIVE?
AFTER 2-3 MINUTES THE SCREEN GOES BLANK/BLACK..
TV IS OUT OF WARRENTY SO ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE WELCOME.. THANKS

    Horizontal lines roll (like digital interference) for several minutes then clear up. TV works fine after the warm up period.

I have a vizio p42hd TV. It has thin red vertical lines evenly spaced about 3/4" apart throughout the viewing area.

Hi,

IF YOU HAVE A SOLID BLACK LINE RUNNING VERTICALLY THEN YOU HAVE A FAULTY MATRIX INVERTER. IF CENTRAL THE MAIN VERTICAL INVERTER NEEDS CHANGED. LEFT = LEFT VERTICAL INVERTER RIGHT=RIGHT.........

ANOTHER WAY TO GET THIS FAULT IS WORN OR DAMAGED RIBBON/PLASTIC GOING FROM THE SCREEN MATRIX TO THE INVERTER

HOPE THIS WILL HELP TO FIX IT.....

Our Vizeo P42 purchased in July 2005 has had a red vertical bar on the left side for about two months. About a week ago it developed vertical lines across the left half of the screen with no picture...

sadly no.
either your panel has been hit and damaged or the panel itself is failing.
without some sort of warranty coverage, your repair cost would exceed the price of replacement.

Red line down right side of screen

I would have a tech come out and look at it. Sometimes the ribbon connectors from the upper or lower buffer boards have poor or corroded contacts. Should'nt be a major deal since it comes and goes.

VIZIO P42hd PS42a plasma Picture has two vertical lines (one red/orange, one blue) going down the right-hand side of the screen. Lines are clearly visible

The panel is almost certainly bad. The only fix for this is to replace the whole panel which would cost more than the whole TV.
