After watching TV for about 45 mins right hand 1/3rd of screen breaks up and forms like a 'curtain' in either coloured stripes or black obscuring the picture. Rest of picture and sound is fine. If left overnight (to cool down I guess?) it comes on again in full screen for nearly another hour before repeating. Set just over 3 years old (warranty just expired!) Do you reckon its worth fixing? Any idea of cost. Is it possibly a 'board' I could replace myself? Thanks for any help
Hi Darnez,
It sound like to me that one of the boards that power the bad side of the screen is getting hot and quitting. The boards are not too expensive to replace but getting them is generally the big problem. ( At least for our company). The set would be worth tkaing to a local shop and have it looked at, but replacement costs are going down every day it seems.
Good Luck
I hope in some way this has helped

We have the Philips 23'' (1A0447021909). After about 20-30 minutes a vertical stripe appears just off centre and to the right of the screen - sort of ribbon/curtain like and sometimes goes solid black - sometimes it can take hours for it to return to normal (but then only for a few minutes), and other times it continues. Switching the unit off and then on again does not resolve the issue. The rest of the picture is fine. It's on all the channels. The unit is also only 3 years old. We also thought it could've been a heat issue? What about dead pixels? Thanks for your time!!
