Panasonic DP46848

[dbier63]

I have a Panasonic DP46848 that I've been troubleshooting. It originally had a tab bond failure. I applied heat to the tabs and when I powered up the horizontal screen issue was gone but now I have a thin black vertical line (very thin) a third of the way over on the left side. I think I may have damaged the bond or the little chip in the bond with the heat. Am I correct in thinking that I now have a ruined panel?

if you damaged the bond or the chip then you ruined it. they use a conductive type of glue to affix them I think.
