Sony KDL40D3500 14 blink code

[satinser]

Error code 14 blinks found 3amp ceramic fuse on TCon board blown. Replaced fuse and tried T again with both panel connectors not connected on top of Tcon board. Screen lights with dark grey picture and green led power light on. Powered TV off reconnected both panel connectors this time after a few seconds with green led lit error code 14 starts flashing again. Found that attaching the panel connectors caused the fuse to blow again. Is it likely its a bad tcon or more likely a bad panel thats causing this fault?? Anybody any ideas?? Grateful for any comments.

More likely to have shorted out TFT driver IC, or shorted out caps (MLCC) the long board where the LCD flexible PCB is attached to, the TFT ISs are on the flexible PCB. So not likely to be repairable.
