I have a white line going down the left side of my screen while playing a movie

Check your warranty. Call for support.
*** The following is for information only.***
* If your player and TV set was working prior to this then it's probably playing a black and white movie or the TV color setting is off and needs to be reset.
* For TV go to menu, Picture, Color set up. (Best to restore to factory settings as a starting point.)
* For DVD try a known "color' movie (at least something later than 1965) if it plays in color then the older disk is B&W.
* If someone pulled out the cable (Yellow, Red, and White) this is the Video (Yellow) and Audio Left-White, Audio Right-Red.
* Check this cord for damage and reconnect into corisponding color coded jacks. Note; this cord will not affect the "color of the set other than not show up at all - Blank screen if wrong plug inserted.
* Call TV support line (or DVD support) for advice.

It is not DVD problem but I think you have to change the display screen which might be damage. You have to go to reputable service centre and change screen to enjoy a movie while travelling.

Just replace the T-con board

Vertical lines on an LCD screen are not a good sign. This usually means that your screen is going bad.

most likely a misconnection between the main board and the dmd board. if not that, you'll have to replace the main board.

Computer parts can sit in warehouses and be on trucks for a long period of time. Unfortunately that means things get banged around. Sometimes they don't even work when they come out of the factory. I suggest exchanging the monitor for another one. It could also be your video card. Easiest way is to exchange it and it's free to exchange.

I simply turned my television off while emailing fixya and reading the user's manual. The television was turned off for about ten minutes. I think what happened was that the dvd skipped while ejecting and caused the screen to flip....who knows, I'm just happy it works properly again because I love to watch movies.

Thanks anyway,
Brett

Sounds like the LCD inside is dying and you're losing pixels. Bummer.

This is definitely a broken LCD display screen. Since it's out of warranty you'll have to pay to have Sony repair it or just buy a new one. Bummer. Sorry to hear that you're having this trouble.

Sounds like the flyback transformer is bad. couple of 100 dollars if it is that
