DTS-42 Plasma (Daewoo) - seeking advice -lines in display

I brought this set in reluctantly, and this being my first plasma ever, was hoping to get a few pointers from the seasoned experts. Here is what I'm working with:

The lines are more populated at the left and decrease toward the right. Lines are OVER picture and OSD. Checked all connections and everything appears okay. The service manual offers no schematics or useable troubleshooting guides (for this situation).

Can anyone help me out? What sort of availability is there with replacement parts for Daewoos?

Thanks a million,

Al

Failure is most likely the matrix driver ICs which are part of the plasma panel. Pretty much time to scrap the unit out.

Edge drivers for the panel, chuck it in the trash or watch it as is.

Looks like panel drivers are dying. The drivers are integrated in the panel, which means throw it away.

Not what I was hoping to hear. If they are integrated into the panel, what are the boards with edge-ribbon type connectors that are at the top and sides of the panel? They have several IC's on them. I believe they are referred to as "relay" boards (top, bottom, left, and right). Thanks,

Al
