A broad yellow line, about two inches wide that goes from the top of the screen to half way down, just developed on my 9 month old lasma Viera.
How do I resolve this problem ?

If the set is under an extended warranty get it serviced.

On rare occasions it may be the Plasma screen itself that is defective. In more than 90% of the cases it is a circuit board that has to be changed.

This can be an addressing problem to the screen. The failure can be in the screen addressing circuits or probably in the processor circuits. After or during the signal conversion to the data buss, there are many areas of the set that can actually cause missing pixels, lines, or ailiasing in the image.

The service tech will swap out boards to find the fault. Once he finds the defective board, he will quote you for a new board.
