    zenith plasma 50"

    What board controls the brightness of the screen on a plasma display. The picture is ok in a poorly lit room but in a room with lights on I can barely see the picture. This is a 2005 model. I already changed the zsus board.

    You need to check your voltages from the power supply against the sticker on the panel.
    There will be a white sticker in the upper right hand corner or left hand corner on the pdp itself. looks something like this va/60 vs/175

    You will be able to find va and vs on the power supply board.

    Was the picture better after you changed the z board? It will need the v set on it as well.

      not better after I changed the board the same. from reading on here I think i need to change the other board. The one I changed had a burn trail on it so i know it was bad.

          A 2005 plasma should have the minimum amount of boards in it. The z will give a very dim goofy picture. Bad y can sometimes give a dim picture, but mostly no picture.

          You need to check v

          If these are hybrid ic y and z you will hear them running or fireing and they will be warm and/or hot.

          I need a model number so I know what boards you have.

                Sorry for being slow, which board did you refer to as "other board" and "new board fixed the problem"?

                  the y board fixed the problem. I changed the z board first, it had a burn path on it.

                    Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                    by Tynan Dill
                    I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                    Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                    I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                    The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                    With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                    Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                    Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                    TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
                    by howardc64
                    All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
                    • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
                    • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

                    Hi everyone!
                    I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
                    So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.

                    Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
                    For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several...

                    Plasma Samsung PS-50C96HD Main board BN94-01223C switches off supply after few seconds
                    by alltvrepairs
                    Hi,
                    I have this almost brand new Plasma was well stored. I would like to repair it for a friend of mine.

                    I have noticed that it works for few seconds then switches Off the Power_ On signal. Have disconnected boards and left maion board and power supply and still the same. The power supply with PS_ON and VA signals On stays on so it is not a problem in the power supply.
                    Any one met this problem in the past?...
