    Green line on Panasonic 42" Plasma

    Hi guys. Hoping for some advice. I've a Panasonic Viera TX42U20B Plasma television. Over the last week I've noticed a green line, or more specifically what looks like faint green outline rectangles down the centre of the screen. It's most usually visible in face shots. Some may not even notice it, but now I know it is there I find it annoying. Does anyone have an idea what may be causing this and is it likely to be fixable?

    Thanks in advance

      Can we see a picture of the problem? If it is what I am thinking, it is often just a loose connector.

              Maybe a video? Need to be able to tell you if the panel is bad (not repairable) or if it is the common issue with the connectors. Only being able to see it, picture or video, will I be able to tell you...

                  Samsung UN50TU8000FXZC shows thin horizontal green line when warm
                  by cubytus
                  Hi to all,

                  I was given this TV, an entry-level 4K 50" set. Some have criticized its lack of contrast and relatively poor colour rendering, but for my needs, it's very decent.

                  I reset everything to factory settings, but this line keeps on fading in and out when watching a streaming channel from the Tizen firmware. Interestingly, it only happens when TV is warm, after about 1h45 of it being turned on.

                  Watching a movie from an external source doesn't trigger the line as easily (needs 2 hours), and from a normal viewing distance, is hardly noticeable. It...

                  Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
                  by jm1234
                  Hi,
                  anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
                  It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
                  I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
                  I checked that board for any obvious faults...

                  Hi everyone!
                  I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
                  So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.

                  Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
                  For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several...

                  Panasonic ZT60 plasma tv with strange behavior and 8 blink code
                  by cloo
                  I recently got my hands on a 60" Panasonic P60ZT60 plasma tv (european model) that has some strange issues along with an 8 blink code.
                  It know this tv is getting old but it was once considered one of the best plasmas ever made, and i think it is still holds on to that even by todays standards.


                  So, long story short. When i first got the tv it had a very bright washed out picture with very raised blacks in all picture modes and i couldn't find the cause in the picture setting menus.
                  After doing a factory reset this problem was gone and the picture was back to...

                  Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
                  by Alicat
                  Hello,

                  Stopped by this site trying to fix my parents Panasonic Plasma TV.

                  Model number is TH-50PZ85U

                  Power comes on and the red power light stays on solid.

                  Did a few checks like hold the power button on for 60 seconds, hold the - Volume while holding the menu button, no luck, still@ blank grey screen as the screen lights up very vague.

                  I also hear a few clicks.

                  I also think my parents said there was a thunderstorm and the TV failed after that.

                  Section 6 in the service manual talks about power and no screen,...
