Vizio V555-H1 - Horizontal lines then double image bursts

[jason123]

Hi there,
I think it might be a bad panel but I thought I'd ask before I chuck it..

thin colored horizontal lines bottom and thin section on top. As it runs warmer, you can see some ghosting or double image. Right hand side of the screen darker then brighter (backlight is always on, so it's the actual LCD that gets darker and brighter)

Replaced the Main board, because I had one handy, no change.

Is it worth replacing TCON? disconnecting ribbon on one side of the panel, the lines appear still on the other side (unplugged side.)

No side tabs, so cutting tabs not an option

try the tape cut-off method, maybe check the mlcc caps on panel driver boards for shorts or low ohms, can check for the usual tcon voltages.

No side-tabs on this panel. No shorts but i will check for low resistance
