Working on this Samsung TV today.
Initial fault has been repaired faulty X-Main.
Repaired the x-Main, four shortet surface mount IGBTs - RJP30H1
So now the TV fires up, however it has 3 horizontal pixel width black lines.
I resat the connections and gave them a good clean but no joy.
A replacement buffer was only £5 so though worth the gamble and ordered it from that trusted market place that is eBay.
Anyway buffer arrived today so before installing it I tested it and of course it was shorted so pointless installing it in the TV.
Question is, if i remove the bad buffer IC will the TV power up and display an image? (obviously with distortion/horizontal black bar where the IC would have been. Or do the more recent plasmas now shut down when an IC is removed?
It would save me the bother ordering another buffer if the original black lines remained.
