The Famous Plasma Black Line
I have a SONY plasma TV. It's developed a problem - a thin horizontal
black line that goes from one end of the screen to the other (about 4" from the top of the screen). I've also noticed that several other people have reported the same problem. I've even seen folks selling their plasma TVs on ebay with this same problem. The bad news is that I am told by service technicians that the problem is a bad display driver board, which is part of the display panel. Cost to repair: $2,000. My gut tells me it's a bad chip somewhere. I shouldn't have to replace the entire display. Correction - I shouldn't have to throw a $4,000 tv in the garbage after three years. Does anyone know how to really fix this problem. My model is KZ-32TS1U. Thanks, AABob |

The entire display with the ic circuits that are an integral part of
the glass display all needs to be replaced. That is how you fix the problem. |

The silly lamp inverter boards (2x) aren't part of LCD and can be unplugged and unscrewed. I do not see the reason for anything over 1500 or more to build in throw away, they are expensive and customers will be mad to hear like that because of one part is intergal of the LCD or Plamsa (drivers ICs (make it solderable on gull-wing ICs) on a strip of board assembly. SILLY!! This should be repairable and we need that kind of lifehood to able to keep doing this on LCDs and such. In old days these LCDs had soldered on ICs on back of LCD. Cheers, Wizard |

I guess you should have done some resarch into

You're absolutely right. And I am mad! Does anyone have any experience
with SONY management? Can I complain to someone there about their $4,000 disposable TVs? |

It drastically decreased the size and weight of the support
electronics, and increased the reliability. Imagine how many tiny wires you'd have to connect to the external electronics. A 1280x720 pixel panel. You'd need a reliable, inexpensive 921600 conductor connector (assuming no grounds or other control signals).

It really is a shame, I don't understand why they bond them rather than just using some sort of connector. |
