Question about Sony WEGA KE-42XS910 42 in. HDTV-Ready Plasma Television

Wide white vertical bar down center of screen.

I have a 1.5" wide bar running from top to bottom of my screen. It's nearly in the center (bar starts exactly on center and goes 1.5" to the right). It appeared one morning, after the tv had been off overnight, as a multicolored bar then quickly became black. After talking to Sony tech support, I reset the tv by unplugging it for 1 minute. The bar became white, but was otherwise unchanged. I also tried another outlet. Still have the white bar. Sony says it needs to be taken in for service. Unfortunately, I live on a small Caribbean island where that is impossible. We don't have any kind of electronics repair available at all. Anyone know where I can get detailed technical help so I might try to fix it myself? Thanks.

The only way to fix this is to replace the entire inside of the television, basicly the entire set except the case and power supply. I watched two repairman do this repair and this is not a do it yourself job. I asked them on a scale from a 1-10 how hard this job was for them, and almost before I could get the last words out of my mouth with this questions they both said a 10.

Plug in external monitor to see how that works. If it does same the issue is with your laptop. If it works fine the issue is with your laptop display that needs replacement.

Screen split with black bar through center, top of picture shows in bottom

It sounds as you desribe, the vertical output IC and or the b+ feed capacitor off the Hi voltage transformer feeding the vert. IC its required voltage. Not a really hard job to replace, but not for a handi person to do. This should be left to the professional, as there are no user serviceable parts inside this set and with the HI voltage and the safety issues its best to call somesone to assist you with this repair. Good Luck

Sony KE-42XS910 Plasma with green snow in picture When the tv is on, there is a green haze effect in the pictures (especially during dark scenes) there is also a small vertical yellow line on the right side of the screen. After researching online I am thinking that the Y-sustain board is bad, however on other model tv's people are replacing the upper and lower buffer boards when they install a Y-sus. My tv does not have detachable upper and lower buffer boards. Should I be replacing the ABUS left and right and the X-sustain board as well? Please help!

SONY VEGA KE42XS910 - Watched DVD last night, everything fine - turned it on in the morning to watch another DVD, and there are vertical colourful lines in the middle of the screen - the DVD is runing in the backgroud, but these lines are in front of the DVD picture and they seem to be in 3:4 ratio... tried to press every button, uplugged the TV, took out the remote batteries, changed the DVD - lines are not going away... Interestingly, pressing the 'menu' button (and another button which I cannot remember what it was) makes the lines squish and move to the side... but I cannot get the TV menu on the screen and I cannot get these lines to dissapear... Can you help? Can this be fixed?
