Question about LG DU-42PX12XC 42 in. Plasma HDTV

BLUE VERTICAL LINE

A 1" blue vertical line from top to bottom appeared about 5" from the right side of my plasma screen tv. It's on the screen most of the time and only disappears for a few minutes then it comes on again. How do I fix this? Help please!

I have many 20 LG plasmas of this model. I have had this problem appear on 5 of those 20 plasmas. I sent one to a shop and was told that it had a bad panel. I find it hard to believe this is a panel issue when it is happening on a 25% of my TV's. (sports Lounge)

I have heard several people with the same problem recently. O f course, just a few months after the original 2 yr warranty expired from pruchase in spring 2005. In, fact, literally dozens in the same San Elijo Hills, Old Creek Ranch , Dove Vally Development/neighborhood. The builder bought and installed through Centex Homes, now dozens with the "blue vertical line"

My LG plasma has also developed this vertical blue line,about 1-2" thick and about 5" from the right side of the screen. It suddenly appeared and went away for a little bit then reappeared and has not gone away since. Rebooting it several times, disconnecting and reconnecting cables, and changing inputs/channels does not help.

The address module that is at the bottom of the PDP in that location is the suspect and the cheapest repair. There is usually 3 to 4 modules at the bottom of the PDP and each one addresses information vertically. If it were just one pixe wide then the PDP would be bad.
