    Prima ps-42d8c no picture

    Hi,

    I have a Prima ps-42d8c plasma tv that powers on but has no picture.
    I beleive it may be a problem with the main power board as I tested some voltages found on a sticker on the top right corner that was inside the tv and VS is giving me 35v instead of 87.

    All the parts in the tv seem to be made by Samsung. On the power board it says B4K-50 (Code No.LJ44-00055A) REV 03

    I tried googling around for a service manual or some trouble shooting tips but couldnt find much except some shady chineese manufacturer that claims to be selling replacement boards but I dont really trust those.

    Im good with soldering and know how to use a multimeter but i dont know how to troubleshoot electronics when there is no parts that obviously needs to be replace (burned, or melted) so I would appreciate all the help you guys can give me.

    Nothing seems damaged on the power board so I beleive repairing it may be a good option if i could figure out how to find which part to replace.

    Fred.

    edit: I have the exact same tv as the guy on that thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?p=93294 His pictures are the exact same thing i have tough Im not ready to write it as been too old as I just had my first baby and the wife made it quite clear we were'nt going to buy a new tv anytime soon

    Re: Prima ps-42d8c no picture

    What I first did was measure the voltages on the headers on the left and right of the power board that i beleive are connected to the x and y board.

    A sticker in the TV says VS should be 87 but i get 35v
    VSET should be at 93 but i get 78.

    Could someone with experience please help me figure out what to do/test next?

      This may help: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/smpsfaq.htm

      "Symptoms: voltage has changed and adjustment pot if one exists has no effect or is unable to set voltage to proper value. Check components in the feedback regulator, particularly the opto-isolator and its associated circuitry. A weak opto-isolator may allow for excessive output voltage. A shorted photodiode in the opto-isolator may prevent startup. An open photodiode may lead to a runaway condition. WARNING: probe these circuits with care both because of the safety issues but also since any slip of the probe may lead to a runaway condition and catastrophic failure of the switchmode transistor and its related parts as well as damage to any attached equipment.

        ouch, im out of my league, I think ill try ordering a replacement power board instead. Is there any way of making sure the X or Y board in the TV is in working order? I dont mind spending 100$ to repair the TV but more than that would be a waste.

          No idea, guess you'll have to see if someone else replies with some more help. I don't know much about plasma TVs

            T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
            by Tr0ll
            Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

            The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

            Original T-con:
            Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

            First replacement T-con:

            I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

            SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
            by JJAAMM
            This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

            Problem
            TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

            Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
            by TR103
            Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
            - sound and backlight, but no picture
            - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
            - it keeps rebooting
            - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
            - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

            Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
            by Mgiffune
            I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started β€˜fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

            I ordered a supposedly β€˜new' Tcon board this time, and
