panasonic TX-42PX60B screen fault

[patant]

Hi everyone hope someone can help me with my faulty plasma tv.

This tv has three thick lines in the centre of the screen although everything else seems to be o.k.

When I turn on the tv the standby light flashes maybe 14 times then the tv starts as normal.

Here is what it looks like.

Many thanks in advance

Regards

Patrick.

don 't they always blink on startup? what colour when it's running, LED green?

I'm going to say the panel is shot and the driver ICs embedded on the c board ribbons have failed.

I had this issue and the pdp was shot and is unrepairable

Best bet would be to replace

COF chips most probable cause,--Unrepairable
