I acquired this TV hoping I can still fix the defect. As you can see from the picture
half of the screen has vertical bars. Bases from what I have seen from the forums here and elsewhere on the internet, it is causes by the faulty connection between the LCD and the flex or what is called the TAB BOND. And so I thought that maybe I could fix this one using the methods I read from the forums here which uses thin foam, tape, or thin silicon material in between the flex and frame to improve contact. Unfortunately, upon opening up the TV and inspecting the tabs I found that this TV has a different case. Its not just a simple loose contact problem. As you can see from the pictures (barely, sorry i dont have better camera for this)
2 of the flex ribbons have burns. One or more tracks has been burnt off.
Now I wanna ask the experts here. What do you think? Is this thing still fixable? Maybe scraping the insulation from the flex ribbon and soldering a thin wire to the board? The tracks are very thin though. How about replacing the flex ribbons? I've seen videos on youtube where they completely remove a flex ribbon from the LCD, clean the contacts and then reattach it using a machine.
Many thanks in advance.
