Re: Panasonic TC-P50ST50 5" vertical black bar
Well I tried a set of replacement C boards. The problem was far worse (more sections not displaying), so I had the company send me another set with basically the same results.
Suggestions?

Re: Panasonic TC-P50ST50 5" vertical black bar
Alright, finally had a chance to try this out and wasn't able to really achieve much. The bar is fairly hard to predict, so i couldn't really tell when I was accomplishing anything.
Any other suggestions, or is it worth replacing both A and C boards at this point?Leave a comment:

Ah, that worked. I think the only input it doesn't work for is USB, which is what I was using.
The black bar remained in place, so I have to assume this is likely the C boards?
Also, does the fact that it is only flashes up indicate something else? The flashing is tempermental. It seems to be rare when the TV starts up, then get progressively worse for a few hours. If you let the TV on for 12+ hours, it becomes more rare.Leave a comment:

Okay, made it into the service mode but how do I get a picture to display? It won't let me save the reversed setting, and the background is black so I can't tell if there is a "black bar"Leave a comment:

Re: Panasonic TC-P50ST50 5" vertical black bar
Nothing, but I can't easily get to the connectors on the bottom from the C1/2/3 buffer boards as they wrap around into the screen.
Noticed that the 3 buffer boards have 15 ribbons, which if spaced equally on the screen they would each cover ~2.9". Since the black bar is roughly 9", that might mean 3 consecutive areas are not displaying correctly. Add in that the area that is not showing is ~14.25" from the edge, if everything aligns it would mean the rightmost 3 ribbons from C2 are aligned with the problem...Leave a comment:

Would you suggest that I just adjust those ribbons to start with? Also, how dangerous is it to turn the TV back on without replacing the back casing?Leave a comment:

Tom66, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the warranty on these is only 1 year, so I'm well out by now.
By ribbons, I assume you mean those that appear to wrap around to the front, on the left side of this picture?
Which connectors should I be looking at?Leave a comment:

My TV likes to intermittently flash this vertical line

I read the troubleshooting guide from [URL="http://www.toms-service-manuals.com/getfile.php?req=Panasonic_2012_PDP_Troubleshooting_Guide_ST50_ST_Series_%5BTM%5D.pdf&mfg=Panasonic"]here[/URL], and my best guess is the "Vertical Line-Same width as FPC" even though the blacked out area is larger than what they say it should be.
I took off the back, wiggled around the cables and reclamped them which seemed to make the problem better. Prior, the black bar would show 20%-30% of the... -
