    Ordinarily we insist on good quality pictures. Something from a cell phone usually doesn't cut it. The board you have identified as 4 is the Z-sustain board. The first line on the white label should read 6871QZH056A, 6871QZH056B, 6871QZH056C, or 6871QZH956A. (Boards with these numbers are interchangeable.) Replace it and adjust the pot on PS101 as outlined in the 19532668 LG Plasma Quick Reference Alignment hand book available from Scribd.

        A blown fuse confirms it. A common failure of these boards is the hybrid (under the big heat sink). A new hybrid can be had for about $40 if you are skilled at desoldering. For those of us with lesser abilities, replacement boards are available for under $80, including shipping.

            I had the same problem on two sets, one with a blown fuse, one with fuse intact. In each case, replacing the Z-Sustain fixed the problem.

              any time you get somewhat of a faint picture filling the whole screen, or maybe little portions of the screen almost always points to a bad Z-sustain.

                If i have a blown fuse on the Y-SUS and no picture at all, with green light would that indicate the hybrid on the Y-SUS????

                    Hi all. I am new to TV repair. Ok, I know practically nothing. Can anyone recommend any books or materials so I can self teach myself LCD TV repair? I got scammed once and had to tangle with Paypal to get my money back with an Ebook that failed to deliver on what it promised.

                    I did manage to repair my VIZIO VW42L HDTV10A the other day by replacing the main board, after first wasting money replacing power board and inverters. I would like to learn how to trouble shoot effectively. I figured out what to replace next (i.e., the main board) from reading blogs and forums. My hunt for books has led to suspicious Amazing! books that promise things "any idiot" can do in minutes! or are so advanced, a knob like me can't understand diddly.

                    Any help is appreciated. Thanks folks.

                      Please don't hijack the existing thread. You might want to look into the ebooks by Jestine Yong. They're not overly technical and while not comprehensive, they teach you most of the basics you need to know.

                      A quick Google search unearthed this document: as an example.

                        Vizio 42" black screen, no power, no led light PDP42X3####

                        I'm repairing a friend's VIZIO PDP42X3U400 plasma. When you push the power button nothing would happen. Traced problem to blown fuses F2 & F3 on main board. Those fuses supply 5v. to many voltage regulators. I need help getting datasheet or general data on these voltage regulators marked 6H4L and 6H9L, so I can test them to see which one(s) may have been responsible for blowing the fuses. Also, does anyone know where I can purchase the small SMD (1.5A) fuses for the main board? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

                          by HTR-Informatique
                          Hello,

                          YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

                          I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

                          On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

                          I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

                          I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

                          I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

                          Problem

                          This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                          My name is Chris, I am a 30 years old embedded software developer working in the automotive industry. I am really passionate about learning new skills and repairing/crafting stuff. I came around this forum last week with the goal of repairing my faulty gaming laptop, indeed, I was video editing on it when suddenly a black screen popped and never disappeared I bought some stuff to try to repair it and learn as many things as possible about computer repairs but nothing worked so far. When the black screen appeared, my legion 5 pro was connected to my external monitor...

                          Acer Aspire E5-574-52RH - black screen
                          by DaniK
                          Hi everyone,
                          I have this strange behaviour with Acer Aspire E5-574-52RH, i5 6200U, intel graphics, DA0ZRWMB6G0 Rev G, model ZRW.
                          Laptop came in for a SSD upgrade, took everything apart to install the SSD.
                          Everything started after modifying BIOS settings to boot UEFI instead of Legacy.
                          Laptop works fine, i installed windows 10 and drivers/updates, everything works ok(when it works)
                          The black screen problem is random, maybe 5 out 10 times, laptop remains with the black screen, no image

                          Symptoms are:
                          - random black screen after displaying Acer logo...

                          Vizio M60-C3 black screen
                          by paqman
                          So our beloved M60-C3 up and died the other day. I was not there, my wife mentioned that it came on, displayed the logo, then showed the right half of the screen white and fuzzy, with the left half of the screen ok. However when I got around to looking at it, the screen would not come on at all. The indicator LED will come on, then dim a bit. After a while, the LED might blink a bunch of times. I can't get it to be consistent to do that.

                          So I've got the back off and am checking voltages. The capacitors on the power supply board visually check out. No bulges or anything. They all show...
