Hi all,
New to the forum and very happy to have found a tech community to find some help. Totally new to all this so bear with me I know nothing about tv's anatomy as yet.
I have a Samsung ps50b430p2w 50 inch plasma, randomly started showing 2 vertical black lines about 2/3inches in width all the way down the screen. One on the left hand side of the screen, one on the right.
I got researching and evidence pointed to ribbon cables being loose and or damaged. I took the back off and checked firstly the horizontal ribbon cables and they were fine. I couldn't find the vertical ribbon cables (I'm guessing I have to take it apart more??!!)- I am guessing these vertical ribbon cables are attached to the buffer board located at the bottom of the screen behind some other boards I will have to take off?
Anyhoo, before realising this I fiddled with another ribbon cable that controls left hand half of the screen. This promptly made it worse so I now have these two black strips and some other interference too on that left hand side.
It's so damn heavy I don't want to to take it to a repair shop and no one will come out so I'm treating it as a project. I got it for free so nothing to lose...
Any ideas?
Any help would be most appreciative.
