This is my 2nd broken TV I'm trying to fix and haven't been able to figure out... currently going without any working TVs so am hoping to be able to fix one..
This Samsung PN50B430P2D Plasma has this big block of vertical lines which will fade in shortly after turning the TV on. The lines will sometimes flicker a bit or fade in/out and sometimes it just stays present. The length of time it takes them to appear varies, sometimes its a few minutes and other times it appears immediately after powering on.
I have attached an image of the TV with these bars displaying.
I tried cleaning the ribbon cable contacts for all the vertical cables on both ends of the cables. I didn't try cleaning the cables on the left side of the TV because as I understood those are for the horizontal lines only. I got the idea to try cleaning the ribbon cables from youtube. Didn't fix the problem. Would appreciate any input on what else could be tried. Thanks
