We started having problems with this set about 4 months ago with the red lines on the right hand side of the screen. Last month multi colored lines started appearing on the left hand screen. Now the left hand screen is completely blank? Right hand side still works with red lines still present.I was wondering if replacing the driver board would fix both of these problems or just the red lines. I was an electronics tech with the navy so replacing the board should be no problem but I have no experience in the plasma field. Any thing I need to look out for?
I'm not an expert, but I have determined that the vertical bars that are often red, sometimes blue ... and sometimes both ... are related to a bad control board. I've also read that a common fix is to buy a repair kit with includes the ysus, zsus and control boards ... all replaced together. My experience was that after a month or two with the 1.5" wide stripes, that you eventually loose the entire picture and have sound only. MIne comes back, but won't stay working for very long and the stripes are always there (buy used to fade and flicker sometimes). I'm planning on replacing the control board.

I agree with your assessment but the only repair kits that I can find are for the series 7 panels. Totally different tv. Boy I would love to find a subsidized kit like that for my model. If you know of one and who carries it I would definitely buy it.
