The first three pics look great, what happened. Tab bonds? Try pushing.on.the two most outer tabs where they go into the panel.

i did and nothing changed i also added the carboard under the board like it said and on top to keep the frame off the chips but its still the same... the first 3 pics was the first 5 min of tv being on then it started acting up
another thing i noticed... no t-con board? it goes from the main board to the panel where there is this long 20 inch skinny board connected to the panel

Ah yes the new style all in one mmainboard. Cost cutting rears it's ugly head. Try freeze spray on the mainboard then try the long boards on top of the panel.

yeah, that looks pretty different from mine Mine comes up with the bars and stays with the bars - they're also not random like yours, they're 6 equally spaced columns (actually, with the new t-con, there's really only 3 on the left).

Since yours comes up normally and then starts failing, it seems like an overheating problem. Did you try the "tab bond repair" technique that involves adding thermal bonding material between the tabs and the frame? There are chips on the actual ribbons that can overheat, apparently..
