Question about Hitachi 42PD7800 42 in. HD-Ready Plasma Television

Thin red line on Hitachi plasma

I have a Hitachi 42PD5200 plasma that has developed a thin red line about 4 inches from the left hand side of the screen. There is another one at the extreme edge on the same side but this does not really affect viewing. The line is at the same position as the left hand edge of the picture if you are viewing non widescreen. I have checked all user settings but it is still there. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If it goes all the way from top to bottom, you have a bad panel. much to expensive to repair

It fades in intensity but, flashes affecting the over all picture.

I am looking for a cause, or resolution.

SOURCE: thin vertical line on plasma, 4 inches from left hand side

According to what i could find, there is no way to actually SOLVE the problem, this is what i did find; The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation. Depending on the screen contents, in rare cases this may cause vertical stripes to appear because of failure to light. Please note that this is not a malfunction.

Hi:
If the line is less then 2 inches wide this us a good indication of a bad PDP panel (Screen) usually very thin lines indicates a failure in the screen itselg, altho you might try replacing the upper and lower buffer boards to ensure its not the screen. You might want to take off the back and try reseating all connectors leading to the buffers and the Digital board. But in my experience thin lines less then 2 inches usually results in a bad PDP.

Quite some time ago my 42 inch LG plasma developed thin rainbow lines on the left side - now i have 2 1.5 inch vertical lines dividing my screen into 3 sections. can this be fixed ? and at what cost ?

How old it ur tv,ur plasma bulbs might need be replace.Could be the plasma tube it bad because long times use.But ur plasma screen it self could damage kind radiation not worth repairing.
U alway make deal with the repair man come out for estimate.Cost u like u repair with him.
Make sure ask him come out for no cost some charge $40 come out.

Unfortunately I do not have the model number and I have been trying to locate it for hours online, the issue is that every channel seems to be deleted. I do not know how to save the channels. I have gone to menu/setup/CH Memory Review and nothing. I also tried auto programming, I do not know what that does either. I even reset the TV but it does nothing! Any idea how to fix this problem or what the model is? The only thing I have is the remote and I believe the model number is N0249UD please help thank you
