Tab-bond or bad panel. Melody has no relevance as can be turned off in user-settings.

I have never fixed a tab bond is this something that takes a lot of time and is it worth doing?

Tab-bonds are something you cannot fix. You can only Botch them using pads to force them to contact the glass of the panel or the PCB.

so your saying you can only temporary fix them? how long would something like that last? I was going to fix it and sell the tv? but I don't wanna sell it to someone if its going to go bad soon

My 52" Samsung and Sony were done on Dec 2012 and still going strong, may be I am the lucky one but then aging the TVs have been in the same spots ever since.

I have one here and I can not find any problems with the panel. Seems to be to be the T-Con board. The people who had it said they had dropped it but I can't find any cracks. I swapped the two ribbon cables from the T-Con to the panel to see if that was it and no change. So basically I have one side not working at all. I also tested the circuit board on the panel and can't find any bad parts.

I also pressed on the tab bonds and the picture had no change, they look perfect. No burn marks. All looks 100% Perfect on the panel.

I have seen this before when the ribbon cable was backwards but not the case here. And I do not have a T-Con board to swap out.

What do you think?

When I mess with the T-Con board the image changes. It seems there is a broken connection on the T-Con board. My friend says he has a couple so I am going to test with his.

Well I tried 2 other T-Con boards and I have the same problem so it must be the panel. Both other T-Con boards showed an image. Looks like it may be the connection where the ribbon cable from the T-Con boards goes. If I can't fix it then I am giving up on it. I will keep the TV for a test TV so I can test other boards in it. If I fix it I am not sure what I will do with it.
