      Without a picture it's hard to make an informed evaluation, but it certainly sounds like a bad bond between the LCD panel and the flex conductor from the panel board. IF that is the case, it's unrepairable.

        I will set it up so you can see it in a few. Thanks for responding.

          I need to use a video so that you can see what I am talking about, but having a problem converting it to something I can use on here. Any ideas would be appreciated. It's current state is AVI.

            Not many options, and video conversions are one of the many areas in which I lack skills. I'd suggest posting it on one of the sites that allow hosting videos; preferably one that doesn't inundate the unwary with dozens of pop-ups praising the erotic talents of 40 year old 'teenagers'.

                Not a particularly good site. McAfee and AdBlocker Plus both issued warnings and blocked a number of popups, including one triggered by playing the video.

                HOWEVER, your video showed four things: You will never be a pilot (the bars were horizontal, not vertical, your description was inadequate, my conclusion was incorrect, and you have (probably 60Hz) hum bars. This MIGHT be a grounding problem, but it is far more likely that the mains filter cap in the monitor's power supply is bad. It doesn't happen often, but it has been known to occur.

                  Sorry about the description (may have dyslexia of the eyes. lol). I love your sense of humor, but anyway how would I check to see if either of the above you mentioned are an issue. Thanks for the correction.

                    Examination (especially around the leads) and / or replacement of the mains filter cap.

                      I have finally gotten back around to working on this. Which 1 is the mains filter cap, and how do I know if it is the problem?

                        It's the biggest on the board; often lying on its side.

                          I tried wiggling the LDVS cable to no avail. Is my panel just done for?
