I was watching TV and suddenly the a thick vertical black bar appeared near the center of the screen.
After some research, I found out it could be caused by one of the ribbon cables connected to a buffer board or a blown component on the board itself. I opened the TV and looked around for some burned out components on any of the boards but didn't find anything.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbon cables marked with a red arrow did not fix the issue. When I leave the ribbon cables under the red arrows disconnected there is no change in the picture. When I disconnect the ribbon cable under the green arrow, there is a new thinner black bar next to the existing black bar, but it is not as black as the original one. This is leading me to believe it may be the panel itself that is the problem.
Would replacing the buffer board that the ribbon cables are connected to have any effect? Or am I out of luck?
Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
