TV ks8500 series 8 - black stripe on left side

[Oelbaz]

I have had the TV for 4 years, suddenly today when I turned it on, I noticed a black stripe on the left side of the TV. From top to bottom. Is there an option to fix or is the option just to replace with a new one ??

I understand how this may be frustrating, if this is occurring on all sources and during the picture test this will require service, 

you have a couple of options based on your warranty. 

- If your unit was recently purchased, you can check with your retailer on their return/exchange processes.
- If you have an extended warranty you can reach out to them to have service set up. 
- If you're within the one year warranty, you can Private message me or one of our moderators with your full model and serial number to have service setup
- If you're OUT of warranty, you can use this link below to find a service center in your area.
