I've shipped countless LCD panel assemblies without issue, but never a plasma. I see the USPS insurance carriers don't cover plasma panels, but I'm not worried about that because I know I can pack them properly. I'm just wondering if it's OK to lay them flat. Is there truth to that, or is it just a myth that they'll be damaged if laid flat?

Re: Safe to ship plasma panel?
I've had no issues laying them flat on hard flat surfaces with say a sheet or towel so the trim does not get scratched.
So long as the chassis does not twist , flex or maybe a sudden shock it should be fine.
Tom has had the displeasure of leaning on the back of one and cracked it.
One thing I like about the majority odf the pansonics is the stand slides into the chassis so the rear cover can be removed without fear with the stand still in place and screws then put back.
but you'd know all this I expect.
I have transported all my TVs flat in a wagon on old flat sofa cushions ( soft) about 6-8 inches thick panel side up. never a drama and i drive accordingly . So long as no shock goes through the TV over bumps.
You would not let a freight company transport flat. There are specific generic boxes to transport plasmas vertically.
I had to relocate 4000k and my 50V20A and 42PX14 made it (miracle) would have been either road transported and rail in a shipping container full of house contents.
i think the boxes are very expensiveComment

Here's a link to what mine was put in. Gumtree listing I guess equivalent to Craigslist?

Of course, I'm only talking about the panel. Not the entire TV.------------signature starts here------------

I recently found myself the proud owner of a later-model Samsung plasma (the PN59D7000 for those keeping score at home) whose panel was, unfortunately, damaged in transport. I'm now preparing to part it out, but am curious as to whether or not any damage would have come to any of the components by attempting to power it up with the panel being broken. I read in one Avsforum thread (for whatever that's worth 😂) that the "scan driver boards" (by which I assume he means buffer boards) could be impacted by doing so. Is that actually the case? If so, since I don't intend on selling bad... -
49UJ6500 LCD panel has a lighter band on top when first powered on. Goes away (or gets much fainter) after TV on for a few min. After powered off for awhile and power back on, same band appears. If powered on immediately after powering off, no or much fainter band. Running the latest firmware.
Disassembled the TV and lifted the LCD panel during testing. Band is on the LCD panel (can see the band on the panel as I lift it slightly) Backlight is perfectly even at the top edge. Double checked LCD panel alignment in the frame and is perfect but since band moved with the panel, its on... -
TV flashes backlight then reboots over and over. no image. Client said it used to have image for a bit before rebooting. Got worse over time.
tcon is built into mainboard.
Only one cable goes to panel boards.
there is a cable from one panel board to the other that links them.
cost cutting measure that results in us having harder time to diagnose.
removing the link to the second panel board allows TV to stay on with stable backlight but no image.
used cut off tape method to mask 1 maybe 2 pins on the side of the cable that goes to that second panel board.... -
I had a the above tv qn55q60r that had a bad panel but everything else good. I had another panel here from un55nu6900 with bad leds and melted diffusers.
I put the nu6900 panel in and powered it up and it does work but there are lines vertical lines.
I was trying to change the panel type in the service menu but don’t see my exact panel. Anyway to fix this or someone have similar experience.
the clear picture is the panel type from the service menus on the nu6900. The other 1 is the panel type that was set for the q60r with the bad panel....01-13-2024, 01:57 PM -
I have a TCL 55P6US with sound and backlight but no picture. This model does not have a T-CON board, and the right (rear perspective) panel board is fed from the left panel board. I have not been able to induce any change by disconnecting the secondary panel board or the tape cut-off method on the primary board.
There are a bunch of voltages missing on the panel boards. I can't find any shorted caps of the panel boards, and all of the missing voltage rails read in the kiloohms, which leads me to suspect the issue may lie on the circuit board, rather than a short in the panel.
