Chosen Solution
Hello, My 3 year old Panasonic TV has started flickering a few days ago. The lower half of the screen shows horizontal lines (more or less like a 3D display) for a few seconds, then goes back to normal for a few seconds, then shows horizontal lines again, goes back to normal, etc. The problem occurs whatever source I use (TV, HDMI1, HDM2…). Turning the TV off and on, or a reset to factory defaults didn’t help. Firmware is already up to date. I uploaded a video to show this: https://youtu.be/wn1E-p6PYno After a few minutes, the display changes to: https://youtu.be/suRb8cLbnjQ Here are photos after back panel was removed:
Can you please help? Thank you!
@vudu this could be some bad caps. It appears to only happen to the bottom half of your display. You do want to go ahead ahead and remove the back panel. Take a close look at the mainboard (where the video input sources are) and the power board. Take some pictures and let us see what you see.

Hello Olivier, I got exactly same problem as you…with TX-L50ET60E Went to authorized Panasonic repair center and after 1 week of investigation they told me it was a problem with display (Led) The answer from them: “Impossible to repair ,please collect your TV” The conclusion from Panasonic service center: Even if we found new display it will cost around 800euros (service guy told me) Scrap your TV and buy a new one… :( I will never go for Panasonic again…. Good Luck with your TV Nani
Had the same exact issue although the tv worked fine for the first 5 years or so… I’m still looking for a solution ot this problem: is it definitely a failed panel. The only thing that makes me question that conclusion is that the lines persist and then the picture is perfectly fine, as it should be, but then the lines appear after 1-2 seconds.
