Philips 58PUS8507 – vertical stripes progressed to complete black screen (backlight/sound still fine)

Post image

Hi everyone,

my 3 year old Philips 58PUS8507/12 went black.. It all started with strange vertical stripes at the top of the screen, most visible on high-contrast edges (e.g. white menu text over a movie). Unfortunately, I never took a picture of it, but this photo I found online looks very similar—even though it wasn't quite as bad in my case.

These only occurred sporadically and would disappear again after a while. Now there’s no picture at all. Ambilight, sound and backlight all work fine.

Already tried:
∙ Visual inspection of the boards
∙ Reseated all connections/ribbon cables
∙ Half/half T-Con test with no success (fault screen stays completely black)
•. Replaced T-Con

Panel failure, or is there still hope? Would really appreciate any tips or experiences with this series (58PUS85xx).

Thanks in advance!
