If you have a black stripe probelm on your Gateway TV, check out [email protected]. I asked him for help last year (September '08) and his solution worked perfectly. Still no more stripes (I had 4 of them) and here it is June 23, 2009!!

I JUST HAD THIS PROBLEM ON MY MITSUBISHI AND THEY REPLACED THE PANEL IN IT AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. LUCKILY IT IS UNDER WARRANTY OR IT WOULD HAVE COST MORE THAN THE TV DID.

It depends where the line is centered most, to the right or left of the center, there are buffer boards that control the vertical video, on the bottom part of the unit if you take the back off and look at the bottom part of the set you will see these address boards, they are usually about 2 inches wide and could be labeled J or K, if the unit is High Definition then you could have these buffer boards on the top part of the unit also

I have 2 gateway Plasma 42" TVs
They both had 2 inch vertical lines one on the left side of one tv. The other tv had the line on the right side. Very identical lines. The one that appeared on the left finally disappeared after months and has not re-occured since. The tv with one vertical line on the on the right now has one more on the left. I accidentally unplugged the tv prematurely before this 2nd line started to appear. Is there an adjustment that I can do myself?
GATEWAY 42" Plasma: GTW-P42M303. MODEL# P420142V5. After 2 1/2 years a 2" black line appeared on the right side near the center of the the screen. Two days ago a second black line appeared near the center on the left side of the screen.
2 inch black vertical line on the right and the left of the TV
My plasma screen has the black vertical line to the right of the center of the screen (as your looking at it). It is 1 month old. How can I fix it? I saw the comment about a "buffer board" but it doesn't say what needs to be done to fix the problem. Replace board? How costly is it?
I HAVE TWO BLACK LINES IN A VERTICAL FROM THE CENTER TO THE RIGHT.
I have the exact same problem with the same TV. When I turn the TV on, there is no line. After about 1min, a 2 inch wide vertical line appears and will not go away. How can this be fixed?
2 inch black vertical line on the right side of the screen and one on the left that comes and goes.

Hello.Is it possible for you to choose one of these pictures to show me what the buffer board is?I'm hoping that you can blow them upif their too small. Ooh. If you only new what I had to go thru to get my camera phone pictures into this email.Please, fell free to use these pictures to help anyone that has the same problem with their Gateway Plasma Television.I just hope that the pictures are not too small to to figure out where the buffer board is.I learned about the over heated circuit board from [email protected] .As you can see in the pictures, there is a burnt connector.Bernie, Who also gave instructions on Fix-It gave instructions on how to cut the wire and solder it back on instead. I thought about just replacing that peace.But I don't know what it's called. I call it the "Internal Power Connector".When I went on the web to find it. I saw internal power connectors. But they did'nt look like the one that I need for my tv.Please post any answers and information Thank You. Bye.
I have the same problem. 1.5-inch verticle black lines or bars. Gateway 42" plasma, model P420142V5, chassis GTW-P42M303, manufactured Oct 2003. I agree that the buffer board may indeed resolve this issue. I believe the part number for this board is 6870QSE008E (42V5xxxx.XR). Can anyone out there confirm that these part numbers are indeed related to the buffer board?
