Vizio P50 HDTV20 Plasma

[truep]

Picked this up for $20 to see if I could fix it. There are vertical lines in various places (see picture). Is this a bad panel or something fixable?

I'll let someone else chime in, but that looks like a bad panel to me.

I'm sad to say that is a bad panel. I had the exact same issue on the 42" version of that panel. I had two sets so I swapped every board from the other set into the one with the lines. They didn't ever go away.

I'm going to agree. The plasma panel is bad....

I kinda thought it was the panel. Thanks guys!! It has LG guts so guess I'll sell the
boards after I replace a couple of caps on the power supply.

The Y-sus and Z-sus both work and go for about $70 each due to being so rare, so you haven't really lost out!
