Hey thanks for taking the time to hear my tale of woe...
I've got an LG Plasma 50PQ60
1/3rd of the screen stopped functioning, though the backlight is ok.
I took it apart and was able to get most of the screen working by unplugging the very last vertical screen section. It was preventing the other 4 sections sharing the same board from working.
The first picture I've included shows the connector for the faulty screen section. The 2nd picture shows the connector of a properly functioning section. It would appear there is some burn residue and brown discoloration. I'm going to guess that this connector is embedded in the plasma panel and is not fixable.
The 3rd picture shows what I've got..
1/16th of the screen does not work (presumably from that burnt connector)
There is a bleed of misfiring pixels in the dead section
There is a vertical line of misfiring pixels aprox 35% from the left side (you can see it beside the words "turned off properly"
Also, all 4 HDMI ports will accept a source, as long as it's not 720/1080, they will accept standard def only. And whenever HDMI is used, the screen flickers with boxes of static, and the speakers emit random bouts of white noise. RCA inputs work fine.
Any and all suggestions on what to try would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
