Sony KDL 32L4000

Seen some old threads on this TV. Heard of problems with both the t-con board and the panel itself due to shotty tabs connecting to panels. Most seem to be fixed by either replacing t-con board or a temporary fix by pushing down tabs with some sort of insulation causing better bond. My lcd did not respond to tabs being pushed down.

Other difference between most pictures and videos I have seen on this LCD is that only the bottom 3/4 of my screen has the vertical lines and ghost images.

Could it be t-con, main board, or do you think it is the panel. If consensus is that the panel is bad I don't want to waste any money on trying a new board that will do nothing. Thanks.

It's a bad panel, it looks like a tab bond issue to me though.

I second that, Tom.

okay, so even though pressure on tabs does nothing, its still tab connection, huh. that sucks. Is there any way to fix that with heat gun, or anything else?

Should the power supply, mainboard, inverter, and tcon boards still be good to try and get rid of on ebay?

When I went to try and fix a 40" it was very sensitive as to the exact angle and pressure, otherwise it would not work.

i used a pin on one of these the video was on utube that explaind the fix. it was slow to respond and ghosting to a point in one area, lower left screen and a darker pic on the lower half or the screen.
