Panasonic TC-L32B6 bad picture

[henryvrensburg]

Hey guys

I have a Panasonic TC-L32B6. Everything works on the TV, it just has bad picture. It looks as if there is a lot of vertical lines on the screen, although you can not see them. Text looks "striped" and it just has overall bad picture.

Can you please help

Thank you

Henry

Clean the FFCs from T-CON Bd. to Panel with ISA.

Can you please explain FFC's and ISA

Re: Panasonic TC-L32B6 bad picture

FFC- Flat Flexible Cable and ISA-Iso-Propyl Alcohol...

Thank you Andrew F.Ali, I will try this, and also thank you for clarifying the terms.

Re: Panasonic TC-L32B6 bad picture

Oh...my mistake. It is not ISA but rather it is IPA for Iso-Propyl Alcohol

If cleaning doesn't work, replace the tcon.

Hi guys

I replaced the T-CON already. I didn't try the cleaning advise yet. Was out of town for the weekend. Will try that tomorrow night, and hopefully that works.

Thank you for your advise and time

When cleaning soak a piece of lint free fabric with the IPA and wipe the Golden fingers on each end of the FFCs away from the end so as not to disrupt/damage the fingers. Be careful!!

Hi Andrew, I tried cleaning the FFC's as per ypur instructions, but with no luck. The TV works perfect it's just as if its 480 or even worse. Even the Menu are striped. I also replaced the T-Con. Can it be the Mainboard, I'm just thinking maybe it doesn't switch to 1080 or 720. Just thinking out loud.

If it is the Mobo you would get missing VERTICAL lines, it most likely is a bad Panel. Sorry.

Thank you Andrew, I was afraid that is the issue. Thanks for your help

Hi Andrew, speaking of lost vertical lines, isn't that what I'm seeing.

Please look at pictures again, or isn't that what you mean by Lost vertical Lines

Re: Panasonic TC-L32B6 bad picture

Vertical lines run from top to bottom ||, horizontal lines run from side to side _ _. A lot of times horizontal lines mean panel problem.

That looks to me like lost horizontal lines from the photos
