Panasonic TC-P65S2 black vertical band

[Malachi]

Is this likely to be a c buffer issue or panel?
I have the opportunity to buy it.

I would say PDP, but if you could get it for a low price the SU+SD buffers, SC and SS are getting harder to find for this model and so would sell easy

He wants $150 for it.

look to see how much the boards come to?we do not have this model in the UK but looking at ebay US it seems there are only a few boards about. Check also on Shopjimmy see what they have

Re: Panasonic TC-P65S2 black vertical band

The cheapest working sc board is $268. Repair service for $200, repair kit for $40.
So either someone will buy the repair kit or I could sell a working board for a little less than the repair service.
No sd board available and 1 SU for $50

Might be fixable but its Always a guess.

You can sell the parts but you need to figure out if people are going to spend over $200 to fix a tv.....

That's the thing. A repairman told him he can come and fix it for him for $300. If not the repairman will take it.
He said I could have it for $100.

So boards are worth more than you are looking to spend to buy the set,and there are no boards to be had,so its a good bet they wont hang around long if you try to sell them. that is why I no longer repair sets to sell they bring more money parting out and that a fact

I have also found this too be true even the stands/remotes and ribbon/lvds cables sell well if you have the time too test and part sets out you can make a lot more profit even after ebay/postage fees.

I agree but I'm trying to find a 60"+ for personal use.
I have 2 55" Panasonics. I am always looking for bigger. Lol

At one time I had 2 panasonics with this problem. One I fixed by cleaning the ribbon an reseating, 1 had a bad panel.
