Regza LCD HDTV 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side

Hi, my 2008 REGZA LCD 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side.  I think the problem started within 24 months from my purchase.  And the stripes are getting wider. 
I have tried to reset the setup, power off and on, all to no avail.  See attached picture.
If someone can shed light on this problem and its (preferably permanent) fix and approx. cost, it will be greatly appreciated.  I could simply chug this Toshiba LCD and buy another non-Toshiba HDTV, but I think that would be wasteful if it can be fixed. 
Regards,

I also have the same problem.  I have had the TV for about 4 years; started right after third year.  I have not been able to fix it either....Time to buy a new TV, but defintely not a Toshiba!

  • Regza LCD HDTV 52XF550U No Picture/Turning on

    I have a Regza LCD HDTV 52XF550U that will not display picture/turn on.
    The blue light on the bezel comes on but there is no picture or when I press the menu button nothing is display, so I can't get on the menu to do a Reset.
    There is a clicking sound when I connect the power cord,
    Any suggestions
    Thank you

    Try leaving the TV unplugged from power for an hour. If that doesn't help, call customer support at (800) 631-3811.

  • Scan has a wide black stripe on the side

    When I scan it has a wide black stripe on the side. Full page height and 3.6 inches wide. This shows up as a print copy or when I use the Image Capture utility.
    Have tried unplugging the power and plugging again.

    Hello eldercr, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are having copy and scan issues.  I would like to help.
    I would recommend performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also suggest following the steps in this document on Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Black bar along the right side and the bottom of the screen- DV5-1007ca

    I have DV5 1007ca running Vista Home Premium 32-bit.My computer seems to suddenly think my monitor is a different size. I have a 3-inch black bar down the right side of the screen and about a 1/4 inch black bar along the bottom. My windows are still fully functional and completely fill the portion of the screen that is active. There is no loss of image, it's just framed by the black bars. If I do a Print screen and paste it into a document, the black bars are not there. It's as if the computer thinks the screen is a different physical size. This situation is present all the time, even when starting up. This is what I have done so far: -adjusted screen resolution settings = no change-rolled back my display drivers = no change-re-updated my display drivers = no change-rolled back my BIOS = no change-re-updated my BIOS = no change-System recovery = no change I searched posts here and elsewhere but the results were inconclusive. A couple of posters reported a virtually identical problem and were told they needed to replace either their screens or their graphics cards. Unfortunately, none of those posters ever reported back so it was unclear whether or not the issue was resolved. I doubt it is the screen since screen problem symptoms usually involve bits of screen not working and parts of the display being lost. My screen seems to be working fine, it just thinks it's smaller than it is. The graphics card is highly suspect. What's funny is that a little while ago, I started up my computer without changing anything and all was well for about a week and then it went back to the same old issue. Any helpful advice would be appreciated. This issue is driving me nuts!

    I found a real solution that is hardware related. I was given a laptop with this exact same problem for free since my friend thought it wasn't worth paying to repair a 3 year old laptop, and was dead for almost a year (I think they manufactured these in 2008, but HP has almost no specs or info about them, specially ours; DV5T-1100) I have the solution to this problem, and is a solution not found almost anywhere using Google, and HP support doesn't want to tell you, simply don't know, or would make them look bad. I was able to fix it myself by using a rework station (basically a dedicated hot air gun) that I used to "reflow" the graphics chipset's connection to the board (keep reading, because this method may vary on result details). This simply means that I opened the laptop, removed the copper heatsink connected to the fan to expose both the micro-processor, and the faulty graphics chipset, and started cutting  soda cans, or thick tin foil to cover the areas AROUND the graphics chipset, and leave the graphics chipset exposed so that the really hot air would concentrate only on TOP of the graphics chipset. Then, I put the device on 220 degress, with the tip of the gun 2 inches over the chipset, and circled the gun around heating that sucker for 5 minutes, then I did a 3 minute rest to cool off, and a final 5 minutes reheat again. Luckily enough it WORKED!, and it has been working for almost 10 months with heavy use. HOWEVER... doing a "reflow" like this on a micro component isn't reallt a proper fix. Sure you may get lucky, and I read of instances where the fix lasted for years, but also just months. This is because the problem is the old solder that connects each "ball" point under the chip to the motherboard may have a micro ultra tiny imperfections and misconnections on a few or many of the connected points cause by a long period of overheat of the chip due to both, a very bad heatsink, and heatflow of heat inside the laptop, and also (and usually) really bad maintenance on the user's part by having a really dirty and dusty vents, overuse, and blocking the ventilation exhaust of the laptop itself over time. A proper fix of this chip issue is another process called "reballing", where they actually properly overheat that particular chipset so much using IR heat, and an expensive machine, to "loosen" the solder of all connections and remove the chip itself to both, clean the old solder on the chip, and the old solder left on the motherboard, and actually REPLACE all solder with new lead solder. However, this process has to be very precise (hence the machine), and it maybe costly, and there's also the fact that MANY scammers out there either never really do a true reballing, ans just do a reflow to scam you, or don't have the experience to do a proper reball of the chip. So whose at fault here? Uneducated users that neglect learning how to properly maintain a laptop off its main enemies (dust and heat) no matter how good the hardware heatsinks may be, or is it poor hardware design by the manufacturer, where other brands or even other families of series off the same brand have actually better noticeable hardware design than these DV series that are so notorious to overheat easier than others out there? Well, I don't know, but I do know that you should be VERY careful having these laptops repaired and be scammed, because hey! Even so called "refurbished" or even so called "brand new" entire motherboard out there on Ebay are just bad reflow jobs with little to no warranty on them on purpose, to only last a few months on purpose. So, watch out, and THINK! before spending money on a beat up poor donkey.

  • [Solved] On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening.

    On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening. It's like I should click where they should be, not where they are. The exact same problem happens on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer. It also happens on some games I installed like, "Crysis".

    Nevermind, I solved the problem by downloading this:

    My ipad screen is black / darker on the right side, but light on left.. What should I do? I try to reset it, but it can't workat all..

    I suggest that you take the MBP into an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.  There are liquid sensors inside and they should check if any have been activated.  This may give you a clue as to what you may expect regarding future reliability.

  • Stripe on the Right Side of Tasks Card

    On my tasks card there is a brown woodgrain stripe running from the top to the bottom of the card on the right side. It obscures the task count.  When I go to the individual task or a listing of all of my tasks it disapears. What is it, what is causing it and how do I get rid of it?  Thanks

  • My screen has a blank section on the right hand side of the screen

    since installing updates my screen has a blank section on the right hand side which remains on start up and operation

    Hi @Graham1957 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that the display has a blank area on the right side, after some updates were performed. I am happy to help with this.
    The quickest thing to try would be a system restore.  Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
    Choose a restore point from before the problem started, and let me know if this makes any difference. If not, then please post the full product number and verify the operating system in use on your notebook. See the following documents if you need help in finding those.

    How to delete wide black strips each side of my screen

    Check that you have the correct screen resolution set: System Preferences>Displays>Display tab and makes sure you have 'Best for display' selected. (This is the route used for Mavericks 10.9.1 - I'm guessing 10.7 will be similar).
