My Panasonic TV model TH42PX60B (purchased June 2007) has recently acquired a black band about 5cm wide on the left hand side (only) of the screen. This is present no matter what the input (DVB, HDMI, AV) and aspect ratio. I have tried all the possible settings of wide, 14:9, zoom, etc and none make any difference. Is there a hidden ''picture shift'' facility which I can access? or does the TV need maintenance and repair.
Many thanks

Disconnect the x and y sustain boards from the power supply. then check the flex connector to the screen and reseat them. check connections on c boards at bottom and screen connectors. reconnect the power supply only after all flex cables are reconnected or charge from supply will burn flex cables. if still preent replace correcsponding c board. if still no fix replace panel.

thanks for the speedy reply. since I am a layman in this context and the TV is under an extended warranty, I have contacted the insurance company. I wanted confirmation that this was not fixable by altering user-accessible settings, which you have done. Thanks again
