Plasma TV Repair Ribbon Cable Removal & Install Tutorial Overview

[@MK-dv8hg]

Can anybody help me figure out how I get rid of these solid black bars that go vertical across the screen

[@IzludeTingel]

What about glued on ribbons? I've seen them removed with hot air guns, but what's the stuff they use to put it back on?

[@scottsauls]

We replaced the boards on our tv and then turned the tv on. It worked with the new boards, but there are lines going across the tv in 4 spots. How do we know which ribbon was installed incorrectly, assuming that this is the problem?

i have a sanyo 50 inch, before i used lil foam pieces on top of the flex cables u showed in this video.. that isn't working anymore.. so my question is.. can i use a heat gun on low to re-connect the cables like factory again ??

[@TheOzthewiz]

Thank you for uploading this EXCELLENT video! Is repair possible for the ribbon cable itself? My Samsung PN50B550 plasma was working perfectly BEFORE a recent house move, getting a few black horizontal lines, I suspect some of the cable 'lands' have opened as a result of the set bouncing around in the U-Haul. I would HATE to have to throw this beautiful (HEAVY) set into the dumpster. Thank you in advance for ANY help you can provide! I would rather spend $500 to repair THIS set instead of spending that money on the latest LCD 4K 'wonder'!

Hi my tv is 32 in westinghouse model no.DW32H1G1 my tv was working fine yesterday and this morning their was sound but no image just colored stripe so i disconected it I opened my tv and found nothing wrong but 1 of the 4 ribbons is burnt.can only the ribbon be replaced.and how or do i have to buy the whole panel

[@adrianedavis820]

My ribbon doesn’t snap in like that. Looks like my ribbon was glue down to the panel. I have a Ns-50df7109a19 Insignia brand. I have replaced the backlights. But when I started putting the tv back together, I notice that 2 of the ribbon things along the bottom were no longer sticking to the panel. I wasn’t sure if this ruined the tv… turned it on, there was sound but a blank screen. So I glued the two ribbon down to the panel then turned it on. Still same thing. At this point I feel like I just need to replace it. First time DIY fixing and I regret it lol! What should I do?

I got lg plasma tv 50pk550r, how to remove ribbon cable from the main board?

[@TritonRetail]

Hi, I have a 60 inch LG 60PV250 Plasma TV. I took it to a repair man, he replaced the Y boards, Main Board and I think the Z board. It worked fine when I first got it home, but then after a few hours of use the screen shrunk on the sides by 4 inches on each side, then started showing 5 times on each side with only an about 24 inch space of solid picture. I read that it could be a ribbon, do you have any suggestions? I don't want to take it back to the repair guy because he's already put me off for 4 days and won't even come to my house, he wants me to lug it back to him although he runs repair calls in his truck. So I don't really want to deal with him again.

[@rogerlimoseth4790]

I have a lg50pc5d and replaced the sus boards.. Im having difficulty with the ribbon cable's. When i go to latch them in, i get a small crease or bend in the cable which results in black horizontal lines.. Ive tried numerous times and can get most out but still have some. I know its the way the cables are going in. WHAT am i not doing right? Nevermind i figured it out. I wasnt getting them in deep enough. It's a tight fit and i had to use a wave type rolling motion.

[@rem2466]

hi i was wondering if its safe to use electronic contact spray cleaner on the ribbon cable connectors and ends [to and from the tcon] also is it safe to use on the tcon and the rest of the circuit boards [ have MG brand says no harm to plastics and leaves no residue] I'm experiencing a red translucent apx 2 inch wide vertical bar on the left side of a 2010 sony kdl60ex500 that hard to see on scenes of high brightness,disappears on black backgrounds ie when back bars on top and bott of picture.On the sony start screen the area turns to a lighter shade of blue as opposed to the darker blue of the logo.Disassembled to the removal of the frame to see if applying pressure to the bonding tab[s] would make a change[no difference]was going to try reseating the ribbons in their connectors but having a hard time getting them open thought perhaps spraying them down may be enough to restore a good connection,was considering the same for tcon board too [again would this be advisable?] do you think this is a tcon issue? and if so where would i order one [near Canada] your help would be greatly appreciated,thanks for your time

[@kirklivingston6699]

Watched this and clearly makes sense. I have a Samsung, plasma, model # PN50A450P1D, problem I have is a 2.5 inch purple band, vertically running from top to bottom of tv, located almost in the middle of the screen, other than that runs good. I have located possibly 4 capacitors that may be bad due to the top of them being raised (convex) and one is oozing brown fluid. 3 of them are on the main power board and one on the board located at the left side viewing from the back of tv that has 6 ribbons. Would these capacitors be the problem?.....thanks

I have a Samsung 42" plasma with 1/8" vertical line. Model PN42A400C2D, Oct 2008. I read that reseating the ribbon cables on the logic board could help. Not sure how to remove and reseat them. The connector is white plastic and looks like two round pins on each side that go through the board, and there are small 1/8" slits near the pins. The cables connect with identical connectors to the long narrow buffer board. Appreciate any help with these connectors. Thanks.

[@tonysoprano8152]

I figured out how these connectors open. The gray bar flips up towards the connector. Tried reseating the ribbons in all four connectors - no change in vertical bar.

It's not difficult to fix simply remove the frame and look around for the ribbons, one of them is damaged(probably the one from the edge you squeeze) tape something on top of it to keep pressure on it and you're fine

[@10001horale]

Hello, I have the exact model on this video. I have thin black lines going across the screen screen had reddish picture on dark scenes. first I replaced the Y-buffer board only, thin black lines still appeared with y-buffer but not as many, So I replaced the Y-main board, now the dark scenes look great, but I still have some this black lines running across the screen only there are fewer that with the old Y-buffer board. Could I received a bad y-buffer board? once I plugged the new Y-main board, the lines cleared up on certain spots on the screen, fewer lines. Any suggestions? Do I need to clean the ribbon cables? Thank you

[@shopjimmy]

Mike v Try this at your own risk, TURN OFF THE TV and unplug. Then take a little rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to the ribbons. Clean them and let them dry completely. You can also blow out the connectors too to help clean them out. Once fully dry. insert the ribbons and then turn on. See if the lines changed. If they cleared up. Again turn off, and try re-seating the cables. They can be really tough to get in correctly sometimes. Thanks! www.shopjimmy.com

[@10001horale]

ShopJimmy.com Hello, I did what you described. I also replaced the y-buffer board in case I received a bad one. It was brand new y-buffer. I still see thin black lines at exactly the same spots as the other y-buffer board. Could it be the y-main board? or anything else that can be causing these thin black lines across the screen? please help, much appreciated. Thank you

[@shopjimmy]

Mike v The Y drive won't put lines in the image with the rest of it being a good picture. I'd keep trying to reseat it, it can take multiple attempts before you get rid of the lines. If after multiple attempts it isn't fixed and your using a new buffer and its now your third replacement, I'd say the panel has issues. At that point you would need to replace the panel, which may not be cost-effective. Thanks and please let us know if you have any other questions! www.shopjimmy.com

I did notice before it randomly shut off that the sound was kind of muffled. also it has made some really loud popping sounds here and there over the past couple years. I did take it apart of course, couldnt find any bulging caps or burnt ic chips but i did notice two white ribbon cables and they both have a brown stripe following one of the wires inside the ribbon cable. can ribbon cables burn like that? if you have worked on sanyos 47 inch dp47460 with similar problems ill be waiting for any kind of advice or direction.

Hi there, thanks for the very informative videos you do and post up here. I have a Samsung PS58A650 (known as PN58A650 in US i believe). The TV powers on, it has sound but no picture. There is a repetitive clicking thats coming from they Y main. The clicking may be emanating from one of the banks of Mosfets on there, but its hard to say 100% Is it safe to assume the Y Main itself has died, or is it possible a Y buffer has failed causing the Y Main to fail to start up? I was going to order a new Y Main ( lj92-01446a ) but not sure if that will fix the problem or not. Thanks!

hi, I have a Panasonic Plasma, TC-P50S1. Purchased it in 2009. I had a replacement plan on it that ran out in June 2013 from BestBuy. Prior to it running its course, geek squad came twice, and simply removed the back and "cleaned" whatever it was, this seemed to work for a short period of time both times then the lines from top to bottom in a about a 2" thickness a little to the left of (if youre facing) the screen, would pixelate in lines you can see through changing various colors, mostly always transparent, but once the whole 2-3 inch strip was completely black from top to bottom, but when you turn it on they arent there, Seems to occur after the tv warms up (I think), Then my plan ran out, before they came back a third time, which the said they were going to just replace the panel? if I remember correctly. I have since replaced the tv, but is there a way to fix it? if so where to get the parts, about how much? im pretty savyy so, if it will only be a couple hundred to fix I may be interested in a repair, as Id rather fix it give it to a family member than take up space in my already full closet space, lol. thanks for your time.

The bar is made up of multiple verticle lines all changing colors depending on the background in the screen. Once in a while it will go all black, but usually it is a multi-colored rainbow effect. From what I can tell it's not there when there is not video input (doesn't show up in the MENU screen) or when the screen goes black (like occasinally between commercials or game levels). Rather, the colored lines gradually dissappear from right to left. Other then this issue, the video and sound are perfect. I expect it is a faulty ribbon cable which is fused to the circuit board and not replaceable or removable. I would love to be wrong and know there is a better fix then replacing the panel itself, which I would do based on the cost.

Scott Bates If the colored lines are vertical in it you can try replacing the logic or lower address buffer. If the rainbow effect is made of curved lines then its more likely to be a panel issue and not repairable.

LE37M87BDX Hi above is the tv model number i am sure its a famous one its samsung LCD tv 37". A very common problem it has which many tvs can have readily. After about half an hour the colors start to mingle together and merge in each other but nothing is wrong with the audio input. If the tv is given some taps on the top or back display do come back and then again the colors starts merging together. I have it on gumtree and on ebay you can watch the pics over there. Please what sort of advice you can give me ? thanks below is the link of gumtree advertisement www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/samsung-le37m87bdx-37-1080p-hd-lcd-television-faulty/1063551167 thank you

Mueed Jamal This sounds like a TV panel problem. If your TV panel is bad, it may be more cost-effective to replace the TV as panels are typically hard to find in stock, difficult to replace, and expensive. Thanks and please let us know if you have any further questions! www.shopjimmy.com

My lg 60UH6035 have blurry picture with horizontal line on the bottom half. I try checking (plug and unplug) the right lcd ribbon from the t-con broad to the tv and now there is no picture at all. What component do I need to replace?

I have a LED65Q55R120Q and half of my TV is a black screen. I fixed one of the backlight that was out but I think im experiencing a ribbon cable problem. Any ideas on how to fix this problem.

Hello, I have a Samsung 40" LN40B630N1F LCD. On the back of tv, the part (ANT IN) that you would run your cable into has broken off during a move. It is now flush and I can not feed any cable in. Is this an easy fix? Where can I get this part? Thanks!

[@TheQuickenone]

Wow. Tough one. Let me get back to you. But my initial thought is no. You're f*****

[@shopjimmy]

John Boltas I recommend going to digikey to see if you can find the part there. Thanks! www.shopjimmy.com
