    Panasonic 55VT30 plasma horizontal line problem

    Looking for advice with the new problem. Yesterday, my tv developed these lines across the top of the tv. They are there when the TV is "cold" -- after 5 min they are gone. Turn tv off and back on -- not there. Let "cool" down for 20 min -- they are back.

    See pics. You can see the color of the pixels making up the lines and how they fade on the additional pictures over time.

    Also, sometimes get a ghost when screen is really white -- this is new as well.

    Any ideas? Bad panel?

    Thanks

      No its not a bad panel. Possibly one of the scan ic's on the SU board is giving up. Also could be a capacitor issue driving that Ic or the top buffer board.
      Did I leave the soldering iron on?

              Samsung QN70Q6DTA Ghost or horizontal lines after tape fix horizontal line
              by Ihandyrepair
              Hi guys

              I just started fixing 4k TV few months ago. so I am still learning a lot
              I got this tv from friend complaint is ghosting or horizontal lines on image.

              never saw the original symptom but I took the tv back home. the funny part is that after bringing to home, the tv worked fine no issue for 3 weeks.
              then it started to show the ghosting white image.
              I started using the tape method, but this tv does not have a T con board and it has only 1 ribbon cable from main board to the tv panel.
              it has 3 thin small boards at the bottom of the...

              Samsung UN50TU8000FXZC shows thin horizontal green line when warm
              by cubytus
              Hi to all,

              I was given this TV, an entry-level 4K 50" set. Some have criticized its lack of contrast and relatively poor colour rendering, but for my needs, it's very decent.

              I reset everything to factory settings, but this line keeps on fading in and out when watching a streaming channel from the Tizen firmware. Interestingly, it only happens when TV is warm, after about 1h45 of it being turned on.

              Watching a movie from an external source doesn't trigger the line as easily (needs 2 hours), and from a normal viewing distance, is hardly noticeable. It...

              Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
              by jm1234
              Hi,
              anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
              It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
              I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
              I checked that board for any obvious faults...

              Panasonic Plasma main board repair (ST30 GT30 VT30 ST50 GT50 VT50),LED with 3 blincks
              by stecos
              Hi everyone!
              I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
              So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.

              Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
              For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several...

              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...
