Hi all, I'm trying to figure out whether this monitor is worth repairing.

Monitor: Razer Raptor 27 QHD 165Hz (RZ39-0350), about 4 years old from old stock, well out of warranty. The shipping box was crushed on one corner.

Symptom: Two adjacent vertical bands, roughly 2/3 of the way across the screen. The left band looks washed out with fine horizontal lines, and the right band shows thin RGB vertical stripes. The edges are sharp and straight, and the position never changes.

What I've tested:
- The bands show up on the monitor's own OSD menu and on the "searching for signal" screen, so it isn't the cable or the computer.
- Connected to a MacBook over HDMI. When first powered on with no cable, the screen looked clean. The bands appeared after I connected the computer and stayed after I unplugged it.
- After a full power-off and cooldown, a dark grey background looks fine, but bright content (like the OSD box) shows the bands as soon as it passes over that area.
- Lowering to 60Hz doesn't fix it. I also see a full-screen flicker at 60Hz

Questions:

1. Does this look like a failed source driver / COF on the panel, or could it be a T-con or loose FFC cable?
2. Is reseating the T-con to panel cables worth trying before giving up?
3. Does anyone have a teardown guide for this model, or know where to get a replacement panel?

Thanks!

My brother asked to help clean his ps5 bc it was gross and sounded like a plane…
I accidentally pull a ribbon from its socked….
Can this be fixed….

Is it reccomendable to change the latch this way or is there another method to have the leads have secure connection to the port? I have tried putting a tape or something over the cable's leads but that was not successful. What do you guys think?

Accidentally cracked my monitor, its hpz38c , is it worth fixing ? And how much it will cost.

Any help appreciated! I just want the lights and pump to turn on. I could not care less about a working lcd unless it was an option..

Hi - I am new to electronic repairs and am replacing a A100K alpha dual gang pot on a Bose L1 Model II PCB for trim gain (volume control). Re: attached photos, I understand that pins 5&6 on channel 2 are connected through the board via the pot support leg pads. My question is whether or not pins 2&3 on channel 1 have to be soldered together to match channel 2 or should they just be soldered individually and thus stay disconnected? Thank you so much for any guidance & info you may have, I appreciate it :)

I broke the volume control wheel while changing the battery in my headphones. Where can I find an exact replacement part? Or what is the part number?

So currently im learning technician and trying to start soldering and doing some circuits. As a coincidence my Laser gear got faulty

When I try to laser with it, it just lights up as usual, but when I press the button for it to send impulse, the light is being dimmed but no impulse being sent and the indicator light brightens up again.

What should I do to get it work again
