It should be locked or pruned significantly. If I were something looking at the title of this thread, I would expect one or two posts at most from the author. Not a hodge podge of questions on various TVs.
However, I know the feeling. Even when I explicitly say don't ask questions in post #1 of a "how to guide", people can't or won't follow instructions.

The plasma panel is likely bad -- not repairable.

Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems
Hello, I have a Hitachi 42 inch plasmas, model number: HD42S69. I have a 3 inch thick vertical red line, left of center (if your facing the tv) that sporadically appears, but often. I took it to a repair shop. The guy told me that its not the control board and it isn't the display panel, it's a buffer board. He wanted $200 and he said the part is like $60. I figured I can just do it myself, but I don't know where the buffer board he was talking about is? Can you help me locate it? How do I even know what board is causing the issue?
Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems
It's more likely just the connection between the X-buffer board and panel. Start a new thread and provide pictures of inside your set, and you can probably fix it yourself.

I don't have privileges to start a new thread for some reason.

Where is the x-buffer board on the picture of the rear of the tv I provided?

All users have permissions to start threads I thought. I'd rather not clutter up this thread even more (it's getting hard to track replies and individuals), so if you can't create a thread, please contact Topcat (administrator) and ask him why you might not be able to do so.

Yes - bad X-main, replace the X-main. Post a thread if you need more help.

Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems
Tom congrats on your wonderful guide!
I have an LG 42PC1DA and when I turn on the the in the morning (when the tv is cold), the image is distorted and pinkish purple, then in clears up and the image is near perfect.
This is very much like the image you show on the guide for this problem :"The picture is slow to update (motion blur) and has a purple or lilac tinge to it."
I dont own voltage testing equipment. Do you think it is a good idea to just change all the fuses on the zsus board?
Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems
If the problem gets better over time, it is -unlikely- to be a fuse issue.
It is best to start your own thread and add pictures to it.
A multimeter, essential for all TV repair, is available for under $10 from many good retailers.
