I had one given to me that has a picture problem.
When I first turn it on the left half of the screen has three white
vertical bars 4 inches wide , while the right half has raster.
With a couple of seconds a picture comes on.
The right side picture is very good like it should be but the left side
has the bars ruining the picture and makes it blurry.
The remote was lost so I can't do much.
Any tips or suggestions on what might be the problem.
FYI. I was a radar tech in the air force and worked my way thru
engineering school in the 1960s as a TV repairman but know zero about
LCD and digital TV.
Thanks

You can try reseating internal connectors, but it's probably a panel
problem...

What do you mean panel problem?
The entire LCD?
Thanks

I've posted a couple of pics of the problem on photobucket.

Re-seat the flat cable connectors at top/bottom of the LCD panel. If
that fixes the problem, tape over each connectors+cables with wide tape
to prevent it recurring.

Yup, the entire LCD panel. One could try reseating the LVDS cables to the
T-conn. These are respectively, the flat cable going to / from the small
board hidden near the top middle of the panel to the main board, and from
that small board up to the panel itself.

Not a high percentage chance of success though...

Thanks, I'll try that after July the 4th when I have some spare time.
Later, I'll post what happens
