Hello experts..
Before I bother you with pictures from the boards,at first glance,does this look like a bad panel??
The black bar has some times colored lines in it,not always..and there is a pink glow at and around that bar...
The guy said that the kids where playing video games and all of a certain this defect popped up...

That looks like a bad panel to me.

Really?? Darn,finally picked one up where the screen is not broken for a change and now it's still the panel, ugh.
Out of curiosity,what exactly "breaks" in a panel when it does like this?
Is it in the glass itself or where all the tabs are attached to the panel?

Bad panel. The chips along the bottom of the panel which drive the columns fail. They are bonded to the panel and can't be replaced. It is incredibly common with this model.

The main board and Y-main are clearly functioning and worth a fair bit for this model. Probably about $40 each. So it's not completely useless.

Ya,I'm parting it out. I got a for sale ad on this forum for all the tv's I have and I'm kinda keepin track on all the posts here to see if one needs a board I might have ( while learning as I read).
Slowly on getting a good selection of boards I can use for other tv's I pick up. It's becoming an interesting hobby lol.
