I'm affraid to say that your screen has got a PDP/LCD fault. Just like a tube going on a TV. This is a fault which is beyond economical repair

I had this exact thing happen on my tv. Believe it or not, it stayed there for about 2 months and just went away. Mine was not a colored strip thought, It was a white strip.

Vizio e470i-ao led tv faded black bar thru middle of screen. still bright top and bottom, was told backlight was the issue. wwhere do i find the parts and the how to?

Hi Tala,
I appreciate your DIY approach, but the job is very delicate, risky and needs high level of proficiency. The screen is lit by several strips of LEDs. In your case probably the middle row of LEDs has failed. You have to open apart the LCD module to find out what kind of LED strips they have used and there is every chance of damaging the delicate LCD screen or the SHEET as they call it. Better hand over the job to someone who can do it.
Good luck.

Samsung 52" LCD TV has a bar down the middle of the screen.

that can be either a tconn issue about 60.00 or a bad LCD panel which is not repairable. I would assume its the Tcon board. You can get replacement Tcon from www.tvcircuitboards.com

There a multi colored lines across the entire screen how can i fix this? you can see the TV on.. behind these multi colored lines... very faintly.. please advise how this can be fixed.. chris trizano-...

Hello; Not much info given. Are the lines from top to bottom? , and does EVERY line go fully from top and bottom. If the lines don't go FULLY from top to bottom, you have a cracked LCD panel ( cost more than TV sold for ). If they all go fully from top to bottom, It can still be the LCD panel OR the LCD controller board ( much less expensive ) John

Thick black line running down the middle of my screen

hi all .ive had the same problem,a thick black line down screen.sometimes it flickers from top to bottom and other permantly in view.but i have solved it.forget your ic boards and taking apart tv.have you got either a ps3 or wii connected to tv.if so unplug power lead from socket and relocate in seperate socket.make sure the lead is completely free of any other leads and you might just find this works.i think the power lead creates some sort of frequency that the tv picks up .good luck hope it works

Hi I have a LG RZ42px11 there are 6 vertical thick black lines running down the middle off the screen, when cold the TV seems OK but if it has been on for around 10mins or on standby the lines stay on screen.

My ViewSonic monitor is having an issue with blurring lines. Anything on the left or middle of the screen blurs to the right in a faded color, extremely noticable when I open MS Paint and fill the left...

This is a tipical flyback defect circuit, the lines can 1st appear on top/bottom of screen, then can increase to center. Send monitor to repair center, for check and repair. You can test with a tv test signal.
