This Sanyo DP26648 television powers up with a white screen. Looking
through the archives, it has been reported that there is a defective
ribbon cable that causes this problem. One specific report which is
detailed he

says,

"Clean glue like material from spaced further apart trace of FFC
ribbon - or

Replace the ribbon wire P/N: N6CD FFC

Connects panel to timing control assy."

The comment about the glue like material makes sense. The second part
about the "further apart trace," doesn't make sense to me.

Secondly, the connector that is interfaced with the cable seems to be
one of those zif connectors. Anyone know the sweet spot on how to
open those things? I know that one push in the wrong direction will
snap that thing right off the pc board. If need be, I can photograph
it and upload it later.

Thanks for your reply.

Here is a link to a picture of the connector.
