Re: Need Help Phillips 47pfl5704d/f7 Screen just died

I get your point. And I do believe its the panel. Just wondering, for informational purposes, why this model fails like this when others fail with the vertical lines.
It took me forever to even find a post like this with the same symptoms and anyone with any useful info. Probably this Fri or Sat I'll dig into it a little more. I'll be back to post my results.

Re: Need Help Phillips 47pfl5704d/f7 Screen just died

So here's another point. All of the similar issues I have seen like this, with the fix we are talking about, all had vertical lines running from all the way from the top to the bottom of the screen. Why on my tv,like the pics above, do I have one good strip of picture that runs across the top. Is my picture running horizontally? I haven't torn the tv down to the panel yet to find, or tinker with the tabs yet. Are they ever on the side of the panel? Maybe the signal only gets that far down before the signal fades out too much...

Yes, that's what I see thinking. I saw some " fixes" using pieces of plastic and other rigid materials. Have also heard of surgical tubing. Though I was thinking of finding something a little more stiff, but not as stiff as plastic or wood. Any suggestions?
Really wanted to get this going before the Buckeyes started but I'm running out of time. O-H!
Worst case scenario I'll end up having to get a new or refurbished panel but I'm having trouble there too. Anyone have a lead on a LC470wuf-sba1 ?

Well sounds like I will have to do some more searching for some band-aid type fixes to see if I can get it playing again. I'll also look around for some shops that might have this technology an see what their charging.
Wish you had some better news for me. I was really hoping there was a way to fix this at home. But if i can't I will have to look for a new panel or I might just be parting it out.
I appreciate the info received and will definitely be back for more.

Ok, so I watched that video and a few others and I have a few concerns.
1) Nobody in these videos look like they are doing this at home. I see a lot of technicians and laboratories.
2) there seem to be some supplies and chemicals involved ( which I cannot identify since these videos are in a different language)
Is this something that can be done at home or am I just wasting time

Thanks for the reply. Just so you know,I am a novice at the art of electronics repair. However unlike an old dog, I can be taught new tricks. Could you walk me through this processs or send a link showing how its done? I can usually repeat a process if I have seen it done or have been explained how to do it.
If the panel is actually toast, then I really have nothing to lose. But if there is a chance to save it I would really like to try.
Also, if its relevant, could you go into a little more detail of the problem...

Re: Need Help Phillips 47pfl5704d/f7 Screen just died

Has anyone found a fix to this issue? Or is a new panel still the only solution? Is there anything that can be done to repair a panel like this one? And just for information sake, what actually is the problem here?

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello and nice to meet all of you. I am a tinkerer and have been since I was a kid. I would take stuff apart to see what was inside and how it worked. Now I'm interested in putting them back together in working order.
This looks like a place I can learn a lot of new things.
