Hello all, this is not my panel, but I'm curious about this type of thing... wonder if any of you could lend a hand. This is what we're dealing with:
As you can see the FFC has been torn off completely. With hundreds of connections broken, there is no way to resolder this... my question though is this: are all of those connections being terminated at the silver block? It was my understanding that all the connections at the sides of an LCD panel were the ground connections, which run through those FFCs to those grounding blocks which contact the metal housing of the LCD panel. Am I mistaken? Would it be possible to ground all those broken connections with one mass block directly on the LCD panel?
Thanks in advance for humoring me. Stirling
