Bought my 503 CMX Nov. 2001. Turned it on last night and got a black screen with a bright red verticle line about 1/3 from the left side of the screen. Input was component. Turned it off and on--line disappeared. Today turned it on to a full red screen. Off/on cured it. I have the 5002 card. Does this sound like something is starting to fail on me? Sure seems like it to me. Maybe I need a new card.



Anyone getting a similar problem?

There have been some recent posts about 503 problems, which were related to something in the panel going wrong. The symptoms were similar to yours. I doubt it has anything to do with the 5002 card, but you never know.


Have you tried connecting a PC to the 503 to see if it exhibits the same problem? You could also try removing and reseating the card, for what it's worth.

Anyone know a good plasma technician in the NYC area? In case this gets worse. And thanks John for responding.
