    LG 50PK250 Plasma Fixed! Thanks forum.

    So two days ago, my almost 3 year old LG plasma suddenly had a wide line show up on the right side of the screen (1" wide). Of course, I'm not that stoked about this, and a call to LG resulted in a quote for $280 for whatever is wrong with the set. Took a pass and found this forum.

    Worst part is the TV hasn't moved from where it has been since it came home.

    Since there was still activity in the wide stripe (made up of many little stripes), information in this forum suggested that the panel might be OK, but it could be a board or ribbon connector.

    So I unattached the main ribbon for this side of the panel and reconnect. No change.

    Then I moved the back plate out of the way (careful the entire panel doesn't fall out when you play with the braces!), and cleaned and resat the gold ribbon cable in the approximate area where the stripe was.

    TV is now working like new, thanks to the great help being provided on this forum (especially Tom66 - doing a great job).

    I'm sure I'll be back for something else - just wish I wasn't so hesitant to start the soldering project in the high voltage area of my Space Invaders Pinball solenoid control board. Apparently the traces are easy to damage, and the boards are difficult to replace.

      T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
      by Tr0ll
      Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

      The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

      Original T-con:
      Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

      First replacement T-con:

      I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

      Panasonic ZT60 plasma tv with strange behavior and 8 blink code
      by cloo
      I recently got my hands on a 60" Panasonic P60ZT60 plasma tv (european model) that has some strange issues along with an 8 blink code.
      It know this tv is getting old but it was once considered one of the best plasmas ever made, and i think it is still holds on to that even by todays standards.


      So, long story short. When i first got the tv it had a very bright washed out picture with very raised blacks in all picture modes and i couldn't find the cause in the picture setting menus.
      After doing a factory reset this problem was gone and the picture was back to...

      Quick question about the ribbon
      by Rubenlily
      Hey,

      So I have horizontal lines on my TV and I'm trying to trouble shoot. My question about the ribbon is:

      When I disconnect one ribbon from the t-con I should get half picture working and other half black or something like that correct? But when I disconnect the ribbon on one side I just get a dark screen and it doesn't matter what side I disconnect. I just get the dark screen. No half working, no one half black and the other one left. Sound is playing from the TV so it's obviously on and when both sides are connected I have the picture with the horizontal lines...

      Samsung UN55NU7300F Curved TV. Half side backlight out. Fixed by just removing the rear snap cover
      by howardc64
      TV was fixed just after removing Samsung's rear snap cover.

      This curved TV's construction is rather interesting. When the snapped on back is removed, rest of the TV will relax the curvature. Top of LCD panel is loose as it wants to straighten out against the slightly curved bezel. Snapped back provide most of the curvature shape. So just simple disassembly of rear cover will allow the rest of the TV frame to relax its curvature. Thats probably what fixed it but no idea which connection. 4x LEDs are edge lit.

      Maybe PSU->backlight connector didn't have a good contact?...

      UN70NU6900FXZA Won't Boot Unless I Temporarily Disconnect Right LVDS Ribbon
      by Scincidae
      I recently was given a UN70NU6900FXZA that would only boot loop once plugged in (auto powers on when plugged in). I found that disconnecting the lower (right side) LVDS ribbon, then plugging the TV in, followed by reconnecting the lower LVDS ribbon will allow the TV to work 100% normal as far as I can tell (no lines, no discoloration, no dimming or anything like that).

      I tried the tape method on the lower LVDS ribbon and found that if I cover pins 10 and 11 (counting from the bottom up) allows the TV to boot normal but 25% screen all the way to the right side is discolored. While...
