New to the site and know this may have been already covered but I wanted to get a better idea with a little more detail behind it for an issue I am having.
Have the 2-3" black bar that runs vertically the entire length of the display (middle third). The bar is solid black, no additional lines or artifacts. I located the applicable C2 plug and the PDP ribbon cable was tight. When I remove the ribbon cable, I get snowy noise in the entire bar area. When I replace the ribbon cable it goes back to solid black. Have ordered a spare C2 board in hope that the problem can be isolated to it rather than the PDP. Seems like I see conflicting issues which suggest any artifacts on the black bar point to PDP and maybe (maybe!) the lack of noise or artifacts on the black bar could suggest C2 as the cause. Have spoken with 2 local shops, one said PDP, one said maybe C2 or PDP so it's worth the $30 to try a C2. Of course I'm hoping for the C2 but does anyone have more specific experience with differentiating the no noise versus noisy black bar? Don't want to get my hopes up if it's an obvious call. Thanks in advance for thehelp and again sorry if I'm posting something that has been covered ad nauseaum.
