Hey all.
I recently got a TH-50PZ85U for free, the PS was giving the 2/10 blink.
Fast Forward, I got a working Power supply, the Panel fired right up and to my disappointment on the far right side of the panel, there was a lower buffer sized row of colored lines that would shift colors (not positions).
This buffer connection was under the HDMI 3 port box (lots of heat) when I pulled the box off I can see that the ribbon cable was not put in well from the factory as it was kind of shifted so I pulled it and reseated it to no change.
When the ribbon was disconnected what should have been a solid black void was rainbow sparkles in place.
I pulled the heat sink off the IC plate and look at the IC on the ribbon from the bottom and when I applied pressure to the IC the rainbow sparkles would disappear but the lines you see on the far far right would not change.
I am 99.9% sure this is a bad panel but before I scrap the screen I wanted to ask. I already pulled all the guts out minus the lower buffers as they were pretty cheap anyway.
Here is a horrible photo, my plasma table suffered a broken leg so with me holding this up and snapping a photo this is what I got."
Bummer, this actually had a pretty nice picture other then those pesky lines!
On a side note I got a ton of good parts! Will trade for a TNPA4782 (no suffix) SC board!
