2 vertical bars on tv screen

2 vertical bars appeared on near middle of screen with lights flickering, blocking the normal view of programs. Sometimes the bars are transparent but sometimes they are black or semi-transparent. The 2 vertical bars stay no matter what we watch, normal digital tv,dvd, or Wii or other player.

If your TV has a signal out , then try to send the signal to another screen/tv/laptop/monitor
If the bars still appear then most likely your have a failing video card as the unit can not produce video normally to any screen or display
If the picture looks normal on the external screen, then most likely the actual LCD panel is faulty or it could be a faulty connector
I am not a TV expert but these are generally the troubleshooting steps for computers

SOURCE: Vertical line

Sorry, you have a defective LCD panel. If your TV is still under warranty, contact Sharp to get the TV exchanged. Otherwise, LCD panels cost more than the TV is worth.

SOURCE: Line in middle of LCD screen

I too had a black line horizontally across the screen (on a 52" d62). It was brand new and was as if the screen had been "pinched" at the end of the line and it radiated outward (in my case, the "pinch" was at the extreme left and line went out to the right, like a crack).

Mine was a factory defect (right out of the box) and was replaced (2 yr now and no issues). This line of yours may have been there from the start and maybe you just didn't notice it?? Not a slam, just an observation.

Vertical black bar down the middle of hitachi plasma tv

Ok if your hitachi TV dies with no power anywhere try this:
Some models have a kill switch under the bottom edge. It's like a gray switch like a small light switch press it back in and voila let there be LIGHT. Saves you at least a $200 trip to repair shop!!

Black Vertical Bar

It will burn into the screen overtime. The Akai units have a resistor on the address board that feeds the PDP that usually has a crack in the solder on one or both ends of it. There are about 4 address boards that are right below the panel itself and the suspect one is the board right below the line that is appearing. Have someone with solder skills repair it.
