Re: 50 inch Panasonic plasma vertical Black line
Hi There
New to the forum but hopefully someone can help me. I have TH-50PZ85U that is 8 years old. Bought it with the black vertical line problem. Was told that it happened about three months ago. As it seems everyone has suggested that I find the ribbon connector that is directly in line with the black line and I did. I removed the ribbon cable and cleaned the connector and ribbon cable with alcohol and a Q tip and reinstalled the cable and not change. I removed the ribbon cable once again and powered up the TV. This confirmed that I had the right ribbon connector and the top half of the line changed to horizontal thin black lines and the bottom half went to what I call snow. I reconnected the cable and everything returned to a solid black vertical line. Can anyone suggest where I should go from here. Is it a bad panel, is it the circuit board that the ribbon connector is connected to or is it another board? I hope someone can provide some suggestions as I don't want to scrap the TV just yet.
Thank you
Bruce
