    NEC PX-42VP4DA 42" Plasma TV

    Picture comes on for a second then goes back off. All menus still work as normal even after picture goes out. I took the back off the TV and found a burnt spot on the Audio Board shown in attached pics. This is all I can visually see thats bad. Would this cause these symptoms?

    Probably not. But it certainly looks like the 'magic smoke' has escaped from IC3003.

        Not even close at this point. This is NOT a typical failure mode for plasma TVs.

        I haven't been able to identify who manufactured the panel. For a start, how about taking a picture of the back of the TV and attaching it to your next post using 'Manage Attachments' (below the text entry area). Also, there may be a white label on the back of the plasma panel with the part number of the panel. That would help immensely.

            Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
            by KYBOSH
            Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
            No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
            The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
            But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

            When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
            Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
            Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
            Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...

            Trying to Save - LG 60PH6700 60-inch plasma HDTV - Powers ON but no picture
            by KYBOSH
            Saved this beast from the landfill this weekend.
            Manfactured July 2013 in Mexico.

            I love working on plasma TVs.
            Its been a while but I was lucky enough to find 2 this week.

            The TV powers on and stays on but no picture. Havent checked for sound yet.
            No bulging caps although the insides are pretty dusty and the boards are discolored from many years of high heat.
            Will start troubleshooting tonight.

            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...
