Mitsubishi 40" TV, LT-40134 Vertical lines on left side of screen

About a week ago, vertical colored lines began to sporadically appear on approximately 1/3, left side of the screen of my Mitsubishi 40" LCD TV, Model LT-40134. The TV was purchased, installed, not moved and used daily since 01/14/08.

At first, simply moving the TV on its swivel platform was enough to remove the lines and the normal video image would return. Sometimes, shutting the TV on and off would work. However, the lines are becoming more frequent and difficult to remove.

I have no other mechanical or electronic devices nearby or playing that could cause interference with my 40" Mitsubishi TV. The TV has performed flawlessly up until know.

Any ideas or suggested remedies would be appreciated!

I've got the same TV with the same problem. Sometimes by moving it on the stand the lines will go away but it only sometimes temporarily fixes the problem. For a while it seemed like it needed to heat up to go away but that is not the case. It seems like there is a bad connection somewhere but i cant seem to find it. One day, one thing will fix it, then the next day it wont do the trick. It gets very irritating.

Mitsubishi LCD #LT40148--left side of screen has vertical lines.

I would guess a sustain or similar board---one for each side of the set and typical shop repair will exceed 200 parts and labor

Vertical lines on my 40 inch lcd mitsubishi hdtv 1080

Similar problem with an eleven and a half month old LT-40148. Approx. 1 inch vertical banding line on left side of screen on all inputs. After about two weeks, same problem on the right side of the screen.

Fortunately this occurred two weeks prior to the one year warranty expiring.

Called Mits customer service and they referred me to an authorized service center who I happened to have dealt with before.

They picked up the set. The front panel (LCD screen ) had to be replaced. Set was gone for two weeks as parts were not in stock. There was no charge. I hope this screen last more than a year.
