Tell me about it, especially if you slaved really hard at work to buy it and it gives up the ghost after 14 months, and oh too bad so sad, manufacturer’s warranty conveniently finished.
GRRRR.
The lesson I learned was to pay with your credit card as it will give you an extra year or two of warranty without depleting your wallet even more.

Does anyone have a guess why they did not mount it on the glas?

Nice fix at the end! Great videos!
This is the main reason you should always burn-in your electronics when you get them. Basically, if it’s going to fail due to a faulty part… it’s going to happen within the first 90 days of use… IF YOU USE IT. So, do some home HALT testing on it and just turn it on and leave it on 24/7 for a couple weeks. I have the same TV, and have the extended warranty, and it’s lived well past the extended warranty period. It’s on just about ALL of the time too

With the black tape …
With the black tape you used to fix the plasma the TV is going to last another 15 years, just live with it, in 10 years you can online custom order an OLED TV thats 3mm thick it will arrive in the post in a tube you will stick it on the wall and it will find your home Wifi connection and download it’s latest firmware and set itself up to your region, ok so we just have to work out how to get power to this 3mm stick on the wall TV but we have at least 10 years to work it out

Classic ending, loved it!
I think the grey stuff around the row driver chips is there to stop dust or contamination from causing arc over, I believe those drivers output around 150 to 200V.

I must admit I used the exact same fix technique on a LED matrix display I built once. An accident during construction killed one column, so we just swapped that module out to the edge and called it 34×8 instead of 35×8.

The reason nobody …
The reason nobody can find a tech anymore to fix their TV is because its slave labor! Warranty service is subcontracted out to a bunch of bottom feeder “tech” companies who then hire a technician to work for them as an part time independent contractor until that technician realizes that after all the business expenses he’ll make more money flipping burgers. Techs usually wind up getting paid on a flat rate per call basis like $30.00 with no mileage compensation for the first 35 miles.
great ending.
great ending.
Excellent repair …
Excellent repair job. (:
Multiple channel …
Multiple channel drivers do have a tendency of getting extremely hot if driving low impedance loads. Maybe that grey stuff is a thermal compound of sorts?
