As the title says, I'm pretty sure ESD killed this panel. I was working on my second LED repair of the night. This one a Sanyo DP32D53. I replaced the LEDs, and was about to the panel back in place. I usually use a suction cup so I don't even have to touch the panel. I didn't on this one because it seemed easier to just lay it panel side down and lift the backlight assembly off the back. That went fine, but it was one of those flimsy thin bezels and the panel moved. I couldn't line it back up without flipping it and putting it back on the backlight assembly. When I touched the side of the panel to pick it up, got a pretty good static shock. When I finished the job and powered it on, I had a horizontal line right about where the ESD occurred. I have no way of knowing if the panel was good before the repair, so I'm really just assuming the ESD caused it, but the proximity of the ESD to where the line is leads me to believe it caused it. Has anyone else ever had this happen?

Not had it happen, but it's completely believable.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: I think ESD killed my panel.
Good to know that it is at least plausible.
I think using a mattress as a work surface was a bad idea. Usually I at least put a sheet of cardboard under them. I'm working on a DIY cleanroom design because I do a lot of LED repairs, which are seriously complicated by dust and cat hair. I intend to make an ESD safe work bench with anti-static Formica, and ESD epoxy on the floor. Then I can just use a heel strap. It's going to be small, about 9x8, so the floor shouldn't be too much.

Re: I think ESD killed my panel.
Cardboard would be worst.
Best thing for ESD is conductive material. The material that you get behind radiators to insulate them - it's got a foil-like appearance - isn't badPlease do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: I think ESD killed my panel.
I was thinking moving the panel on the mattress was more likely to build a charge than on cardboard, like stuffing your feet across a carpet. I'm going to go to Walmart and get one of those foil emergency blankets. Not sure how durable they are, but they're conductive and only about $3.------------signature starts here------------

Has anybody tried to use IR night vision goggles or other thermal imaging device to find a shorted line in a ribbon cable going from a panel driver board into the panel? I would think the shorted line would get hotter than the other lines and might just show up on a thermal imaging device. Just wondering if anyone has tried this and if so did it work? -
so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!!
what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol! 
i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing... -
Hello, my Aunt recently gave me her broken Sony XBR-65A8G OLED after getting a replacement. It had a 4x led flash error, a replacement T-con didn't fix the error but with helpful info from this forum I found one of the smd ceramic caps on the panel pcb (C575/C378) on a 24v line was shorted to ground. I removed that cap and the tv turned on without error. It still had a black screen with the original t-con back in it, once I put the replacement t-con in it finally had a picture. After doing a panel refresh it had a very good picture but with a few vertical lines for some scenes. For owners with... -
Hi folks, newbie here. My intention on a working monitor was to test for voltages on the various pins. Somewhere near the ribbon to the monitor, there we 2 caps. One was reading around 5V and the other was maybe about 12 or 14V . Cant really recall. Then it happened. The multimeter kissed the 5v cap and the other cap. Spark appeared. NOW... the part where the spark happened ( Caps near the Last ribbon cable ) is now totally white. 1/6 part of the screen is white. From my little understanding , i came to learn that there are transistors inside the TFT panel. Could that be a issue then? I have removed...11-10-2024, 06:50 AM -
I had a the above tv qn55q60r that had a bad panel but everything else good. I had another panel here from un55nu6900 with bad leds and melted diffusers.
I put the nu6900 panel in and powered it up and it does work but there are lines vertical lines.
I was trying to change the panel type in the service menu but don’t see my exact panel. Anyway to fix this or someone have similar experience.
the clear picture is the panel type from the service menus on the nu6900. The other 1 is the panel type that was set for the q60r with the bad panel....01-13-2024, 01:57 PM
