    Panasonic Tx-40cx400b top left half screen not displaying correct

    Hi,

    Trying to work out if this is TFT problem or TCon issue.
    The TV powers up but the top half of the screen, from the right it is OK, but as you look across to the left halfway across it starts get duller and duller until it is very dark on the lefthand side, currently I trying to clean the remote as it seems to have something film wise on the pads stopping it from registering buttons pressed.

    Also when changing the screen size of Windows PC display to say to a smaller pixel sizewindow, the original window displayin the top left stays/takes a few seconds to disappear?

    Thanks for any info

      Thin Film Transistor (TFT) is a liquid crystal display manufacturing system based on an active matrix of thin film transistors.

        this is wrong sorry.... TFT and LCD are 2 boats quite different ... MB video switching data are different... freq relay too .. recherche rate too-- so how can we compare both just by letters name ?????

            I had one of those and remember it having the panel side tabs only on one side, if yours is like that, it can't get better.

              Okay, my mistake been out of the loop didn't realise that TFT is no longer not the same as LCD, apart from that how can I prove if it is the LCD screen or Tcon board causing this issue?

                    So, is there anyway I can prove if it is the Tcon or panel that is the issue (without having to buy replacement parts which it or may not require)?

                      disconnect the LVDS from t-con and turn on... if the back light come on.... keep lvds disconnected and fed the t-con F1 with 12V from power boards rait

                        Does it display like this when using a different source than the PC? Also does this effect show when you select the menu, or the smart apps page?

                          Panasonic Plasma screen interference on left half of screen
                          by Zelek11
                          My Panasonic Plasma model P55VT50 has started displaying "interference" on just the left half of the screen only (left when facing the screen). Sometimes it's concentrated in about the first 30 seconds after startup, then disappears. Other times it's fine at startup and then randomly does it later on. When it flashes the interference it's very quick and doesn't stay on the screen unless it flashes repeatedly in a row.



                          This image is a screen shot from a video I took. This is an example of the interference at its worst. Often the interference is much smaller...

                          Hello all!

                          This post will mostly just act as documentation for my undertaken troubleshooting steps for this TV. Advice will also be appreciated for things to try next

                          Picked up the TV in thread title from a retail returns auction, symptoms were as described. I started my troubleshooting attempts by shorting the 19V PSU rail to the 3v rail with my multimeter... Doh. Big spark, dead PSU, TV not turning on anymore. Picked up a new mainboard and PSU locally from someone here in Sydney, wasn't sure if my butterfingers had killed both and was a big drive to pick them...

                          Vizio M60-C3 black screen
                          by paqman
                          So our beloved M60-C3 up and died the other day. I was not there, my wife mentioned that it came on, displayed the logo, then showed the right half of the screen white and fuzzy, with the left half of the screen ok. However when I got around to looking at it, the screen would not come on at all. The indicator LED will come on, then dim a bit. After a while, the LED might blink a bunch of times. I can't get it to be consistent to do that.

                          So I've got the back off and am checking voltages. The capacitors on the power supply board visually check out. No bulges or anything. They all show...

                          Panasonic th-p50s10d - blinky red, SC board go boom
                          by dajoker
                          My old plasma died when one night recently. When I got to it it was giving a 3.3v sos (3 blinks).
                          I chased my way through the PSU, and a board, with no results.
                          Replacing a few bulged caps in the PSU, I eventually got to the SC board that had piles of shorts, a quick cheap replacement from china and the tv powers up again, except
                          I only have the right half of the picture.
                          Left half is completely blank.
                          now the c3 board running this side of the screen has its 3.3 and 5v onto the buffer ic and its got the 60v, so that all seems good.
                          all the other voltage rails...

                          ACER BM320 Monitor - Horizonal Flickering Lines After a While
                          by reessi
                          Hello,

                          The monitor started off showing flickering thin (1 pixel) lines horizontally every say 3mm..

                          They are black on the right and gradually fade to nothing on the far left.
                          They start either after 5 mins or up to 2 hours after so annoying for testing.
                          They flicker continuously very fast! With a slight pause milli-second every second.

                          Initially I cleaned the LVDS cable and connected to the T-Con and then it worked fine for 3 weeks but not sure if this was just co-incidence.

                          I tested each half by removing the first the left flex from...
