Samsung HPS-5053X Screen problem

[Tobytech]

Hey all,

New to the forum and would greatly appreciate some help/advise with my plasma TV problem problem. The TV began to develop multicolored line problems (about 1" thick). About 6 months after the 6th line appeared my laptop computer would no longer interface with tv via audio/video port. The TV was still viewable until the entire screen went to all multicolored pixels. The picture can still be seen in the background (barely). Has anyone ran into or expirenced this problem before? What parts/boards made a repair? Again, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all, Todd

When the problem first happened the colored lines would, at times, disappear. This makes me believe that it is not the panel, but a component. My wife ran one of those "pixel exciter" programs from her laptop and now the entire screen is a barrage of multicolored pixels. If anyone is able to point me in the right direction please do so. Thank you, Todd

Thank you very much for the confident answer. I don't have much expirence in the plasma world, but have a decent background in electronics, in which I work in daily. I would hate to have to throw this TV away over an easily resolveable problem. Thanks again!

Here is a youtube link to the problem I am expirencing. It is the same exact model with the same exact problem. Thought this may help in any further assistance. I would hate to purchase an expensive replacement board and end up with the same result. Also the wife yelling at me "just buy a new TV!"

Correctly diagnosed. Panel itself with buffers, power supply and YSUS and ZSUS are fine.

This can be either logic board or mainboard.
