Visio VW42L HDTV10A Half Screen Distortion

[aftonr]

I'm trying to figure out why the right half of this screen is distorted. below is a list of what I've done so far and still no change to the picture on the right half of the screen, any suggestions you can give would be greatley appreciated. I'm really stumped.....

• Reseated ribbon cables to TCON board
• Cleaned ribbon cables with eraser
• Checked tab bonds to the screen by gently pushing with an eraser with the screen on
• Replaced TCON board with used one from Tri-State Module Inc.
• Replaced ribbon cables with known good ones from another set

Can you please post a picture of the TV Screen with it turned on so we can see what this distortion looks like? Does it have this same distortion with all inputs that you are using? such as...Cable TV Coax hooked up, DVD Player, HDMI, etc.

Thanks for the response MisterD. Attached are the pics you requested, and yes the distortion is the same no matter what hook up it uses. and the distortion is on exactly half of the screen "right side" this is what made me think a bad/loose cable on the tcon, or bad bond on the tabs, and when that all checked out is when I replaced the tcon.

Thanks for the reply, I did try pressing on the tabs to see if it was a bonding issue, just like the video explained. but no luck.
