LG Plasma RU-42PZ61 vertical color lines Can't Post

I have a question regarding my LG Plasma TV RU-42PZ61.
The initial problem started with two vertical red bars ~2" on each side that occasionally would go away.
By poking around I found to be a possible cold solder joint on the control board (6871QCH038A); by wedging a piece of wood behind the board it would work ok for quite a while.
Until one day the image deteriorated completly. I ordered a replacement for this board w/ a different part # (6871QCH060Q) . I was told that this was a new redesign that replaced the original one. (??)

The replacement board did not fix the problem entirely; now it displays no visible image with vertical lines of all colors.
(When I switch to another input that has no signal, the screen reduces to a narrow vertical strip of about 6 or 8"). Possibilities: 1- the board replaced not being compatible Or 2 -another board was also damaged?
If so, which board would be based on the symptoms?
(Voltages on P801/2/3 of power supply board (APS208) appear to be correct; not sure about Vr is 60VDC ??)

Your help is much appreciated.

Who told you that was a legitimate sub for that board?
Sounds like you need to start from scratch. Verticle colored bars that extend top to bottom on a Plasma indicate a problem with the address functioning of the set. In particular, it indicates problems with driver IC's built into the ribbon cables across the bottom of the unit. That's not a good thing.

I have the same concern, if this board is in fact the correct replacement. I got this info from two sources: http://www.electronica-usa.com/...mp;Category_Code=PLA and the second source (not that reliable... that is LG parts dept.) After searching for a few months I could not find anyone that carried the original control board (6871QCH0038A), even used. How can I verify 100% that this is the correct replacement? Any help is much appreciated.
