PANASONIC TH-P42X20A - A-Board ribbons

[tw2005]

Hi, I'm working on a TH-P42X20A which has been a real basket case.

So far, SOS4- shorted SS board, replaced 4 IGBTs, then 1-blink A-board dead, which then started blowing octal buffer ICs shorting the 5v line and throwing SOS10.

Got an A-board, then SN & SS on, no picture, then purple mess LHS of panel only, then nothing SOS6/SOS8 depending on what I disconnected, Found damaged buffer IC on the C2 board, replaced that, still SOS6/8, checked ribbons at A board and badly corroded, something I was not expecting.

pays to have a good look first I guess.

Cut back the A20 ribbon, can manage to get full panel purple maldischarge, kept fiddling the other ribbons got full picture but vertical striping at the C2 midway, fiddled some more now have picture but very flickery and similar bad SS board but I suspect very bad connections especially the SN20 lead at the A board.

Looking under a magnifier, not looking good with possible breaks in the ribbons but a fresh set of ribbons should be permanent fix I hope.

Was about to give up and write this one off as a failed project.

Anyone out there with a set of ribbons(3) for this or anything similar length. It's a HD model which have fewer connections.

A20-SN20 30way ribbon, A31-c11 (c1)40way ribbon, A32-C21(c2 board) 55way

TSXL967 CABLE (A20-SN20)
TSXL968 CABLE (A31-C11)
TSXL969 CABLE (A32-C21)

Any spared or cost, otherwise I'll have to take a chance and grab a cable pack from a USA model 42C2 which has the same panel and boards, just not sure how I'll go for length as the part numbers don't match exactly?

Thanks in advance.

I ended up just grabbing a kit on Ebay.
