    Cleaning Question

    What can I use to clean the vertical ribbon cables on a plasma? I recall being told not to use alcohol.

    Thanks

    I have seen some youtube videos where they use a pencil eraser to do it.

      In most cases there is no need to clean them, they are usually gold plated. What problem are you having.
      If you have a black line going from one side to another on the screen, try reseating the cable in that area. if that does'nt help, check the buffer ic in that area for a short.
      If you remove the ultra thin gold plating, then you could have problems.

        Who said not to use alcohol? ShopJimmy says to use alcohol in this video https://youtu.be/aOCLpJub2l0?t=118

            Yep, use 91 percent alcohol, I've used 50 percent quite often but it's not really recommended, 91 is pretty common, I see it at the grocery store.
