I have an older Panasonic Plasma model TH-50Px6U. It's about 12 years old or so. I've already replaced the power supply board, and the vertical buffer board. The buffer board was replaced because there was a black rectangular bar in the center of the picture that was extended half way down. Replacing the buffer fixed the problem.

Now I am experiencing a slightly different problem. There is a similar bar, this time consisting of colored lines, vertically oriented and extending 1/2 way up from the bottom. See PICTURE w/ PBS video.

At first I thought this might be another...

Hello. I stumbled across this forum researching repair information for a Plasma TV. I get more enjoyment out of repairing used electronics than buying new electronics. Thank you for this helpful website.
