Why is the right one-third of the screen black?

Initially, the whole screen was black, but I had sound. After some research, I replaced the Y-Sus board. Once I replaced the Y-Sus board, I now have a picture, but only on 2/3 of the screen. The remaining third of the screen is black.

    4.17 Understanding Viewing Modes
    Normal Mode
    The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, so black bars are
    added to the left and right of the display image. Standard TV broadcasts are
    displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Movies in 4:3 Aspect Ratio may be referred
    to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9
    (widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3).
    Wide Mode
    When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode,
    the display image is stretched proportionately to fill the TV screen.
    When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the
    display image fills the TV screen. If you are watching a widescreen
    (1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black
    bars at the top and bottom.
    When watching a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source)
    the picture will fill the screen but will be stretched horizontally; people
    will look fatter than they are.
    Zoom Mode
    When watching a widescreen (1.78:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1 source)
    program or movie, the display image is zoomed proportionally to fill the
    width of the screen. The top and bottom are cut off to remove most of
    the source material’s black bars. This mode is good for programs or
    movies with sub-titles.
    Panoramic Mode
    When watching a standard broadcast or full frame movie in this mode,
    the 4:3 Aspect Ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is stretched
    horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The center
    of the image is not stretched.
    Note: Viewing modes are saved based on input. For example,

Try adjusting the resolution depress the aspect button on your remote.
Terry

Testimonial: "Thanks for your response Terry. Not sure what the aspect button is; I looked and did not see it. The picture is actually cut off, meaning I do not see the right side of the picture. So, I am not getting the full picture which leads me to believe it is not the resolution. Do you have any other thoughts or do you still think it can be the resolution?"

SOURCE: vizio p50hdtv10a. Tv has sound

sounds like you needed to replace your video fuse before anything normally if you have video but no sound its an audio fuse and vica versa if for some reason both were out I would say your in need of a new power supply I would suggest replacing the fuse and if it still does not work contacting a service tech to run a diagnostic to see what exact part or maintenance you need

LG 42PX4MVH PLASMA TV - Sound but no picture.

You need the ysus board. This is a very common problem with LG's. If it is coming up with the fuse removed you are essentially removing the short from the power supply so that it can come up and deliver other voltages for sound and all. Check out encompassparts.com if you are going to try to repair this yourself. Thanks

My 5 year old plasma tv has sound but no picture what could this be?

No picture as in a black screen? or a picture with snow (noise)? If there is no picture at all (black screen) with no menu display when menu button is pressed, then it sounds like the y-sus and the z-sus boards are faulty..These are the boards located usually on the left and right edges of the screen. They are fused and these can blow, severing the supplt to the boards. These boards are used to deflect the electrical charge across the screen. If you have no picture then it sounds like both boards are down

Dell w4201c hdtv plasma tv BLACK SCREEN, LOGO FADES OUT, SOUND REMIANS, HELPPPPPPP

the problem was the y-sus board, i had a local tv repair shop diagnos that much for me. although, he couldn't fix it i did some research and found a company in california, itritek.com, who could. you send him the y-sus board and the two buffer boards and he not only repairs them but he upgrades them. apparently the y-sus board gets too much heat and eventually goes out, sometimes the buffer boards are affected too. itritek.com replaces the components on the y-sus board with better parts which are more heat resistent. i believe this will help you with your problem. let me know...good luck.
