Got another 50" plasma to repair... NEC PX-50XR5G with Pioneer plasma panel. This is a nice 1365x768 NEC plasma with HDMI. It's about 5 years old.
This one powers up with a good picture for about 10 seconds, but then shuts down with a blinking red LED, half second interval with endless count.
Found the service manual for the US version (with DVI) but it should be close enough. http://www.scribd.com/doc/41506648/PlasmaSync-50XM4. If anyone has a Scribd subscription can you please download it as PDF and PM me.
The particular error code indicates a fan event, so I need to locate the particular source of this fault.
I don't think I've ever seen a heatsink that big in a plasma TV....... that's for the Y-sustain and it's air cooled. I believe this model is intended to be mounted vertically or horizontally so it's got to have a good heatsink.
Also, it is full of Chemicon and Hitachi (primary) caps on the PSU, and Nichicon, Panasonic, Rubycon and Chemicon across the rest of the unit. Very nice. RRP - a mere £1,400.
