Just trashed picked a JVC 37inch tv.
Saw it by the side of the road in the trash while on a bike ride. Stopped to check it out, it looked to be in good shape, no cracks to the panel or anything. As im looking the homeowners pull up. They tell me there is a vertical black bar on the screen.
I figured what the heck, went home and got the car. Get it home and start tinkering with it. Decide to take the back off, start loosening one screw and the vertical bar completely disappeared. The tv works like new now. Only problem im missing the remote.
