4yr old Samsung UN55EH6000FXZA. Have Vertical bars to right of center of screen. Able to get picture, bar is covering 1/6th of screen. Replaced Main board and Control board,only made bars sharper.

SOURCE: I have a white bar on the right side of the screen.

This is caused by either a bad address board (low $) or a bad plasma panel (high $). The only way to know is to replace the corresponding address board and see if it repairs the line. Hope this helps.

PiP or bad connection. disconnect the set with all cables and reconnect and see what happens

This is a possible fault in the power supply, and can be a problem with some decoupler caps on some of the boards. The vertical bars and unstability are usually attributed to having high frequency noise and or clocking pulses crosstalking on to the power distribution lines that run through the boards. This can be switching power supply noise, or cross-talk from clocking pulses.

Another thing that can cause your described fault is unstable clocking between the devices that are reading and writing to the data busses. There are a number of data busses running through the set for the boards to be able to communicate with each other.

The tech will use the process of board swapping to service the set, and then do the adjustments as necessary to make sure the new boards match up.

Yes... DLP sets are fairly expensive to service!

This is my personal opinion. If the set is out of warranty, I would change for a Plasma or LCD set. If you compare the performance of these to ther DLP, the difference is very big. From what I am seeing from a service point of view, the DLP's are lower in reliability.

SOURCE: P2 42HD - Picture OK on right half ... vertical bars & black on left side

I just got quoted $705 from the Vizio certified repair partner. Nice. Nice and way too expensive. I may as well buy a new TV instead. It certainly won't be a Vizio. They told me a I needed a Y systainer, C systainer and a right-driver board.

Lame. I'm trying to find something local.

hi...
It sounds like an Intergrated Circuit (IC) has fried.
Your best bet in this situation is to contact ur tv service operator and let them recommend an authorized service center in your area....
