Philips 32PFL9604H/12 - most of the picture missing

[wiru]

Philips 32PFL9604H/12 has ~80% of the screen dark, the other 20% of the image is fine. Vertical stripes slowly appear on the dark part of the screen.

I found that if I touch parts of T-con near the IC TPS65162 (Compact LCD Bias IC With High Speed Amplifiers) the image appears on a part of or whole screen. However, that part of the image is dark and still has a few horizontal lines.

I disassembled the LCD panel and tried touching and tapping flex connections to the LCD. This did not bring any change whatsoever.

Has anyone encountered such a problem? Is this a defective panel?

Suspect T-con not panel

I say panel from past experiences.

That horizontal line gives it away - it's the panel.

+1 A Tcon wont cause lines to go out on the Panel.
