    Vertical bars on screen

    Hi all,

    I have three vertical, 2" bars on the left side of my Samsung 50" plasma screen model FPT5084X\XAA. They came about after the unit was shut off and on a few times. I have worked on issues and have found blown fuses on the powersupply and faulty capacitors.

    I have an image of the problem. Lines on left are missing data. Totally dark. This is the case in any mode.

    Which board is causing my problem? Y-main, X-main, Logic?

    I appreciate any input on this issue.

    X drivers, or if the drivers are mounted on the ribbon cables, it's the plasma panel itself. If this model has the drivers on the ribbon cables, it's unrepairable.

      I had a problem with the plasma a few years back when I purchased this unit. It was replaced under warranty. There was snow all over the screen. So Samsung, has not proven to be very reliable. I had to repair my in-laws as well. They had caps that had gone bad, blown fuses due to power surge, easy stuff. For a few cents problem solved, I can live with that.
      Thanks Bill

        BTW - What do "drivers on the ribbon cables" look like? Are they imbedded?
