    LG42 PDP 42x3 No Relay/Audio/Video

    Hi all, I've got a 2006 Polaroid PLA4248, that will prime up, but nothing more. It wont relay on or off... simply stays primed.

    It initially failed the video only, then audio as well after turning on and off a few times.
    The set is quiet when on, no buzz. Though causes great signal interference with an AM boom box plugged into the same wall circuit.
    I've had it since new, no abuse or trauma to it. In 2006, they didn't come with cooling fans.

    The On/Off LED acts normally, red when off, blue when on. No green that I have ever seen since new. I've been studying for weeks the service manuals: LGE PDP 2K6 .... PDP42X3*, and PLA-4248.

    No other buttons are usable.... No Menu access from the Menu button or remote. I have not read any way to manually switch into test mode or menu mode.
    The Vacuum exhaust nipple appears intact. All fuses check out,
    and Y and Z boards show proper voltage through their fuses.

    I have inspected under magnification, all caps on all boards, and find no abnormalities, no bulging, cracks, leakage, no smell. I have confirmed all power supply board output voltages to be as specified on the attached label.... with the exception of the high voltage being 187.5 when 186 is specified.
    I have found these same measurements when the TV is "On" with primed display, as well as when all cables are disconnected from the Power Supply board... sans the main.

    The upper three of the four heat indicator LEDs light up on the controller board.

    I have not applied a jumper to the Auto Mode/ Normal switch on the Power Supply board because I find on instructions expounding on doing so.
    The red LED on the Power Supply remains off when the TV is on with primed display.

    The red LED on the 667-PH42FB6-20 Power Supply board will light steadily...... if the rainbow colored cable from X603 of the P/S board remains connected to the 782-PHIFB6-690A Digital Processing Board, aka, Data Processing Board... all other cables disconnected to the P/S.

    Once the P/S board is in protected mode (LED ON), the voltages mentioned before become null. So this seems good.

    The red LED remains off when all cables are disconnected from the Power Supply board...sans the main.

    I have yet to inspect the back side of any boards, and will likely swap in a new Data Processing Board though would be grateful for the input of others.
    Thanks, Sixstrung

    i would look at other voltages on the processor too.
    seems these things were built with cheap caps that would blow guts out the bottom and short.seen these near linear regs and shorted when they go.

      The symptoms indicate a failure of the Digital Signal board (AKA Main board or Small Signal Board) rather than the plasma panel and it's support boards.

      That board was built by LG, and is used by a number of LG TVs, including the 42PC3D series. The service manual for the LG 42PC3D series has schematics. I would pay particular attention to the voltage regulators and caps on that board.

      I would not that there is a board available on eBay for about $50 delivered. I'm not sure I trust the source.

      For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

      Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

        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.

        Assuming...

        HP Pavilion 15-eh Board DAG7HAMB8F0 - CPU throttling to 0.4GHz (PROCHOT_EXT) and black screen
        by m1ch43lzm
        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...

        Mitsubishi CNC switching power supply board dead / relay board bad diode failure
        by sam_sam_sam
        I was working on this CNC machine today found no keyboard functioning no control relay powering on
        The screen powered on and was giving an operation error but the manual was not very clear about what the error exactly was but with a little bit of troubleshooting and finding out that the control relays not powering on and no keyboard functions we narrowed down to this one switching power supply which of course does not have any indicator LED light they are on the keyboard interface/relay controller board

        Found shorted diodes on main controller relays there are 3 of them that...

        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

        Repair Success! Middle Atlantic UPS2200R-IP
        by valvashon
        Yesterday I successfully repaired a Middle Atlantic UPS2200R-IP that had inadvertently been used as a surge suppressor at our transmitter site. It has already been replaced with an updated one but it's coming home with me now instead of being e-cycled. To be specific, this is the MA model that has the blue backlit display and has been discontinued, although this design may have been used in many UPS units including the smaller Middle Atlantic ones in this series.



        Here's what happened: We experienced a brownout/surge at the site, which damaged the UPS and took our broadcasting...
