This is almost certainly a bad plasma panel and cannot be repaired.

Yes, that is most likely a bad plasma panel unfortunately. I do not know how so many lines could fail at once though. You can try replacing the C1/C2/C3 etc boards (horizontal buffer boards) but I highly doubt it will solve the issue.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
