TCL 43S405 No image

[m4a2t0t]

Backlights do come one but I see no image on screen. If I remove the LEFT side TCON cable I get an image on the left side of the screen and I can see the menus working (right side appears black/dark grey with a few large lighter grey bars), removing the right side cable and I get a black screen. It appeared there was a damaged IC on the TCON so I replaced it but there was no change. Is the panel bad?

I've had a few of these tvs that had this issue and was the panel on all of them. BUT I did see a TCL thread somewhere in here where maybe a guy was able to fix it by doing something specific. Don't remember thread though!
