Samsung PN50C7000 black horizontal lines whats it worth?

[smai]

a friend is willing to sell this TV with a few black lines going through it im pretty sure its fixable (ribbons probably needs a good cleaning) what would you pay for it knowing it needs repairs? this is the only picture i have its a samy plasma 50 inch 3d internet ready thanks for your thoughts

we have been seeing a lot of that lately with Samsung panels on this forum something is wrong in the plasma panel 99 percent sure it's probably not worth buying more lines will drop out soon. It's obviously a design flaw some type. I had one of these a while back also with the same issue I could not figure it out it is not buffer boards. But of course I'm not deterring you for buying it just a little warning that that could be the problem most likely

i was thinking it was the ribbon connection, the fix being adding the thermal pads between the frame and connection

even still you think you wouldnt buy it at all ?

even though it's a nice tv if you were me and I found it I be passing it up just do too past experiences and what I have read with the outcome of other members TVs on the forum. as far as I know nobody has been able to cure this problem
