Big screen parts

My 4 year old plasma died a few months ago, but the screen was still good (most expensive part).  I used a tech document put out by panasonic to figure out what circuit board needed replacing and was going to order it from panasonic.  The board was $600!!!!

I setup saved searches on ebay to look for an exact model replacement of my panel that had a broken screen.  I found one, negotiated with the seller to gut the plasma and send me the circuit boards (all of em) but not the casing and broken PDP.  He did and for $300 shipped I had a working plasma again, plus a bunch more spare parts for future repairs.  Oh, and the set I ended up buying the boards out of was brand new, broken during initial shipping to its original owner.  The guy I bought it from got it at a yard sale....

Its worth a shot, but do as much research as possible.....

ChadTower:

Nice work.  His projection should be muuuuuch easier than that if the problem is just the screen as he described it.  The screen is easily swappable, just a specialty plastic sheet really with a protective plexi in front of it.

horseboy:
Yeah, it is just the screen. Got some wax on it (don't ask). It should be an easy fix if can find the part.

ChadTower:

You could consider finding a larger dead one and cutting the screen down to size.  It would give you a little more flexibility.

boykster:
Yeah, that should be pretty easy to fix, just gotta find the part.  I agree with Chad...widen your search to include larger models and you can always cut it down to size.
