LG plasma 60PA6500-UA panel issues

[Poor Flick]

Can plasmas be operated face down on a padded table long enough to take voltage readings? Is it a reasonable assumption, 2 guys with proper caution and care, laying down and picking up a plasma from a padded table shouldn't damage the panel? Thanks!

I do a lot of tests with the tv face down. Just don't bend the frame.

Thanks! I'm trying to figure out what went wrong. It originally started with not turning on, checked and had all voltages, checked all connections, no burn marks or pits or holes in anything. replaced the main board after Shop Jimmy helped me decide. It would then turn on with sound but no picture. Replaced logic board, had two thirds of the picture and had sound. After inspecting the suspected address buffer, I had thin vertical colored lines and a few vertical black bands. The sound also went away but with the panel distorted I can't see the settings. The logic board LED blinked a pattern of short-short-long-short. I took a chance and replaced the logic board again and all three address buffers. No change. Tom66 advised inspecting for abraision damage to the panel ribbons and to see what happens when disconnecting half of the left sus board. All ribbons are good, no rubbing. I can't seem to get the connectors on the sus board to come loose, I don't want to break anything, any suggestions? I'm not happy with the longevity of this tv, ONE AND A HALF YEARS OLD!!!

most plasma's are designed to be worked on Upright I have noticed.
