    Panasonic TC-P42S30 vertical multicolor lines

    Hi,

    My less-than 2-year old TC-P42S30 just broke with symptoms that don't seem to match anything I've been finding here. I get no blinks, sound works fine, visual lines are not limited to any specific part of the display.

    I took the back panel off and tried some basic troubleshooting until my multimeter died so I'll be continuing that later today. Disconnecting SN board gets me 8 blinks, disconnecting SS board gets me 6 blinks. That debugging and measuring voltages will continue later, but I just wanted to post the pictures of the display in case anyone had seen it before.

    The first pic is the 'no signal' thing all messed up, but in the correct Y position, moves in Y as no signal will.

    Second pic is volume bar at the bottom.

    Third pic is 'menu'.

    Since the panel seems fine and it's not limited to any specific area, I'm thinking A-board...

    I'd be tempted to go into service mode and try the test patterns in AGING.

      My guess - sorry, panel dead. 3.3V down on A board due to panel short. Possibly fixable if 3.3V is just failed with no panel damage.
      See page 32:

        Unfortunately the service mode screen is messed up also.

        I got a new battery for my multimeter so I was able to do some measurements and it looks like V15 is shorted on the P board I only got about 39 Ohm on P11 V15 without anything connected to the P board.

        With P6 and P35 connected (but not P11 or P2) I get 15.6V when turned on (Vsus solid 213). Same with P11 and P2 connected...

        So, removing the P board and measuring again, I get no short....

        It's getting late so this story's going to continue tomorrow

          Checking the screen again it looks like there is one vertical section that's constantly dark, I'll take the bottom part apart and see if I can figure out exactly what is broken. :/

            Hm, disconnected C boards from everything but the panel. C1 board where the 'dead' vertical section is measures no shorts on C137, C138 all similar places, C2 board where I get al least sparklies on every section measures only 40 ohm on all the caps...weird. I'm wondering if I measured the right caps, these were the bigger ones on the board.

            I guess the short might be on the 'better' looking side too. Is there any way of measuring the panel itself just in case a new C board might fix it?

              40 ohms is enough of a short to be concerning.
              Try checking with all panel ribbons disconnected but C boards in place.

                Sorry to revive an old thread, but curious if OP ever fixed the problem?

                Having the same exact issue, and not nearly as experienced in component repair as OP. Used a multimeter a handful of times in my life. The TV just randomly clicked at one point and started showing all these lines.

                I tried checking for bulging capacitors but all of them look fine. Based on the troubleshooting guides sticky (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=25810) it sounds like it's simply a bad LCD panel. Do you think it's worth troubleshooting or should I just sell it for parts?

                  Screen Display Vertical Multicolor Lines
                  by Stanley1843
                  Hello, I have a screen in where sometimes when I open it pop-up vertical multicolor lines (I would say the most of them are green). If I tun off and turn on the screen the lines dissapear or if I leave open the screen after approximately five minutes the lines gone. I measured the below voltages on the main PCB and on the T-CON board and the voltages are the same when it doesn’t display the vertical lines and when it displays the vertical lines. Also, I cleaned all the connectors very good with IPA. I moved back and forth the connectors and the COF tabs but the vertical lines didn't displayed...

                  Sony KDL-40V3000 - Vertical lines
                  by gpo23
                  Hello,

                  i order a t-con because i had bad colors on my SONY KDL-40V3000 :




                  With the new t-con the color are good but there are vertical lines on all the screen :




                  I've tried the old t-con and it returned to the initial issue (bad colors but no vertical lines)

                  Is there a way to fix the vertical lines on the new t-con ?

                  Thank you for your help

                  Vertical Lines Panasonic Plasma Th-37PX80
                  by lupinIII
                  Hello everyone, I've been browsing this forum but I didn't find similar vertical lines like this on Panasonic Plasmas


                  So they are not all over the screen but there's lines on both halves of the screen. The lines are also present with no signal, at least some of them but I can't distinguish all of them with no input. With no input the vertical lines on the right side are definitely more visible.

                  It started with one line half a year ago, then two and has been increasing the number of lines.

                  Where or what could be the problem? What steps should I take?...

                  1/3rd of screen black with occasional vertical lines - repair attempt for learning! - Kogan KALED58RT9220SVA
                  by Firentiosi
                  Thanks for offering your assistance with this. I'm an electronics enthusiast with moderate level of competence (have a decent lab with two power supplies, microscope, DSO, hot air, good iron, can competently work at a component level on SMDs, design and solder own PCBs etc). I really enjoying fixing things and learning new stuff so took up a free 58" LED TV and have been googling and watching Youtube videos to see if I can fix this! I am happy to go down to individual component replacement/strip replacement etc - it's all in the name of learning.

                  The issues are as follows: the...

                  vizio e65 e3 LED tv color vertical lines center tv only
                  by viking509
                  I recently replaced the led backlights with LB65041 LED Backlight Strips and after putting it back together the backlights work but there are only colored vertical lines only in the center of the tv. I can see the Netflix logo (jumbled) after a minute or less the screen went dark. When I turned it on again the lines were back. Then I replaced the t-con board but the same vertical lines in the picture. My question is what is my next step? Could it be a source tab bond issue? A buffer board issue? Could I have loosened a connection to the panel when replacing the backlights? Should I replace the...
