    pioneer pdp505pg plasma help

    Hi, I have a pioneer plasma that is doing the two led blinks on the front ....,power supply

    Firstly i am capable of testing and fixing
    things just dont have the knowlegde and experience to do it confidently....

    once turned on it clicks the relay and simply cuts out after a sec.

    I have done a huge amount of searching on alot of sites and tried to educate myself to fix this.....,also tried to hunt down a service manual not much success.

    anyway I have taken the back off and inspected the power supply and there are no obvious signs of blown caps.
    I have done a continuity test and everything seems to be ok there.
    have removed y and x board and power supply still cuts out, on removing the y board a led on the dig board lites up red then green then all shuts down then a led on the power supply lites up orange

    I have done some voltage measures, not sure wot i meant to be getting??

    thanks for any help
    can supply pictures if needed

    I don't know if PDP505PE is the same as the "G" model, but

    http://elektrotanya.com/

    has a service manual for the "E". Use IE8 for downloading.

        hope these help, in my endeavour to get better and more pics the battery went flat in the camera, will upload more when it has charged.

        thanks

          I'm not sure what camera you have, but most of those pics are horribly out of focus. You seem to have enough light (indirect sunlight gives good results), but it seems like you are shaking. If your camera is showing 1/60 that is probably not enough light. Try to get at least 1/125.

          If your camera has it, enable macro mode (most do) and optical stabilization (newer models).

              here are some better images of the power supply, the camera battery again went flat before i could get some of the back of the board.

              thanks for you help

                Re: pioneer pdp505pg plasma help

                there are chk points on the board which Ive numbered,there details are

                1, PFC OVP ON/OFF
                2, PFC OVP CHK
                3,+16.5V CHK
                4,+12V CHK
                7,VADR CHK
                8,VSUS CHK
                9,RV203 VSUS ADJ
                10,STB 3.3V CHK

                There doesnt seem to be a 5 or 6??

                also (second image) there is white residue on this component,i cannot read whats written on it, it is hard to scrap off, and no other compnents have it??

                if these photos are good enough for now, I will put the board back in and chk the volts again and report back??

                thanks then and now and
                in advance

                    Re: pioneer pdp505pg plasma help

                    everything is powering up, all the 6.5volts went slightly higher,would this be the problem?? such a small amount over??? I did notice the volts raced up with all the 6.5 v outputs until powerdown while the 12 and 16.5 volts slowed the closer they got to the amounts i ended up with

                    thanks then and now and then

                        Ive read a few threads here that suggest reading volts across the tops of caps?? to an earth ?? Is this a suitible way to test caps or is it just to see if they are working or not??

                        thanks for any answers

                          Made in China is most likely what the problem is here.

                          The service manual should tell you how to isolate the boards to see if the Y or x driver boards are shutting the power supply down.

                          some of the pioneer tvs called the Z board (on the right) the X drive.

                          Pioneer power supplies are very hard to trouble shoot as you can see all the power plugs on the board. The manual will help, but you will need to do some reading. The power supply is also the reason for most of the problems on these tvs.

                          Reading volts across the cap tops is not a way to test them.

                          Pioneer plasma tvs are to me the most complicated, but worth the effort after seeing the picture they produce.

                          I buy all the pioneer plasma tvs I can find and have them shipped to me to repair and sell. They have a good following and are easy to sell.

                          I have one now and it has a Sony power supply made in China. Not happy about that, but it is still a pioneer panel.

                          The smaller caps on these do go bad. The larger caps have been ok so far for me.

                          I would be looking for problems in the secondary on these supplies.

                          Good luck.

                            thanks for your post,

                            yes I have done a massive amount of reading ......
                            the service manual describes the action of the leds on the boards themselves,
                            if a red led lites up on the digital,video board its not the power supply....
                            if the orange led lites up on the power supply its a power supply problem.....
                            to confirm this I unpluged the x and y boards and sure enough the leds on the digital video board lite up.....
                            replacing the x and y plugs produced the orange led on the power supply...

                            I am still reading......
                            All the caps seem fine by look, i did try the test across the top and got good volts from the big filter caps but dropping due to the ps shutting down.

                            I also tried to get a volt reading from the y board where it plugs into the buffers before the power down, it gave me a slow rise to 3volts then cut out.

                            I am just back tracking at the moment, all the volts are turning up at the outputs but the 6.65 v seems to me (I think) to be causing it to shut down..

                            I will get some new caps and replace the ones you mentioned there does seem to be one that is loose ????

                              I am pleased to report a little progress,with the x and y board unplugged I have turned off a switch on the digital,video board (which in the service manual says turns off all high volts and lets only the small volts thru) and the power supply stays on for a good whopping 15 secs then turns off completly (not power down) the ps board will turn back on by pressing the normal stanby/on button.

                              small acheivment i know ,but a change in the normal power down pattern
                              image 1 showing green led on dig,video board(a glimer of hope!!)hope so.

                              image 2 is showing two resistors 390 ohms, Ive measured these and only get 180 ohms on each is that because they are in parallel???

                              more help would be appreciated thanks

                                as soon as the caps are discharged!!!

                                    There should be one wire (possibly) the service manual said on mine if you unplug the y and x driver boards and the power supply still shuts down It shows you how to bypass the protect mode to see if the power supply was at fault. If the power supply still shuts down then you would know it was a power supply internal fault and not an outside board.

                                    As has been talked about here Audio boards will shut down a power supply. I have read it here and it happened to me with an fd9954 phillips/samsung plasma.

                                    These power supplies are alot like a Nasa launch, If one thing is a little off the whole system shuts down.

                                    Keep reading the pioneer manual in the morning when you are a bit sharper. I work on this stuff at night when I am tired (much harder). Or sometimes the brain works on it when you are sleeping and you may wake up with an idea.

                                          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.

                                          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                                          by sam_sam_sam
                                          I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                                          One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                                          Samsung Plasma TV Power Supply Issue
                                          by lp20th
                                          I have a vintage 2008 Samsung 50” Plasma TV, Model code PN50A550S1FXZA with a power supply part number BN44-00222A. I repaired the power supply board several years ago finding a couple of cold solder joints on the back side of the board and it's worked great up until now. Recently a fried sound occurred with the smell of burnt electronics and the TV shut down. Trying to turn it back on yielded the typical relay clicking with no TV boot up. Upon investigation, removing feeds to the other boards within the TV it was found that disconnecting the logic board from the power supply allowed the...

                                          Power supply PS4 FAT - ADP- 240R cuts 12 Volt in 1 sec -Why?
                                          by fab13
                                          I have a PS4 FAT edition chu-1000a with the power supply (ADP-240R) that is acting up.

                                          After checking that it comes from my power supply and by activating the 4.7Volts with clamps, the 4.7

                                          The power supply starts, but cuts instatantly with a small snap on the primary side and after measuring the voltage which climbs to 10 Volts at the start and drops.

                                          - No short circuit around the DPN012A chip (Probably the voltage regulator for the 12 V output)

                                          It looks like an overload and the power supply goes to safety

                                          - No primary...

                                          by pixelcap
                                          Hello out there in Badcap land.

                                          I have a Pioneer plasma that gave me the dreaded 8 red blink and shutdown, I have been trying to trace the failure points. On my last inspection while replacing a Y Sustain Board I noticed on the original and replacement board some missing solder, the points of connection
                                          are from the Digital Address Board and the Buffer Boards. I have included the pictures, should I resolder these points or are they unsoldered intentionally? Any help would be much appreciated.

                                          Thank you
