I have one of these plasma beasts. I got it for free, with no remote or power cord. I found a compatable power cord and plugged it in. Without touching anything, there was a click, the white LED at bottom center blinked a few times, then another click and the LED was red. This all took place within 3-4 seconds. That's all the TV will do. I pulled the back cover off (I waited long enough for the caps to discharge) and examined the boards. All the capacitors look fine, none are bulged indicating a rupture. I checked all the fuses on the boards with my multimeter, found one bad fuse on the ZSUS board. I've done some researching online and a majority of the "how to" vids on youtube and links are about changing the caps.
So, this is a 42 inch plasma TV that so far has cost me nothing, would be a nice TV to have, is it worth time/effort to troubleshoot further and see what it needs to make it work? What do you guys think?
For the record, it's an LG 42PC1DA-UB, date of manufacture 2006....
I appreciate any tips and help guys, thank you!
