Viore 42" plasma pdp4210ea / lg panel sustain issues

[cadillacman]

HI GUYS!! Its been awhile. Times have been tough, i havent had any money or time to tinker lately..

just got this viore tv. Its a 42" plasma. The panel is a lg, its a pdp-42v69001 panel.

It powers on and works, but the picture is dim, possible oil slicking, screen has bluish splotches and the picture is shimmery/sparkely..

This almost always indicates a sustain board issue, which one should i be focusing on? I have yet to fully tear it apart but i will and do all my tests for proper voltage, fuses, caps, etc but figured is open up a post and see if mabye one of you have had a simular experience with this panel.

I would check the Z-sustain. There are usually fuses on it. Also check for a properly seated power supply. Is the screen purple tinted, slow to update and when first turned on does it almost appear like a lava lamp taking about 5 seconds before a picture appears?

takes about 30-45 secs for enough of a picture to appear to know whats going on. WHen first powered on it really looked like a oil slick/lava lamp type situation and gets better but kind of remains as a bluish purplish splotches..

WIll get it town down as soon as i can and do some testing, as well as some good pictures.

vs/va/5v check good. Ive got a blown fuse on the z-sustain and also an almost blown 250v/47uf cap at c5 ont he zsus.

the zsus has a part# of 6870qze013c
and shows a model# of 46v6

This seems familiar, i might have a good board in stock lol

Replace the fuse; if it blows again or TV doesn't start, replace or repair the Z-sus. The Z-sus fuse can sometimes, in my experience, blow randomly.

really? ive always had sustain board hybrid or small ic failure cause a blown fuse, but i guess it wouldnt hurt to try the cap, fuse, and recheck..

I had a 42V6 panel with a blown fuse on Z-sustain and a new fuse fixed the problem. Same symptoms as you describe although was a little faster. Speed probably depends on panel age...

turns out i have another no name set and another set that have the same panel. looks like ive monkeyed with the zsustain on both of those wth no luck.. so looks like i have parts but they might not be very good lol..

guess i will find out tommorow.

Re: Viore 42" plasma pdp4210ea / lg panel sustain issues

It just so happens i have a couple other repair filure sets with the same board.

I installed a z-sutain i repaired with a good used hybrid, and this set works perfect with it. It came form a set i was trying to fix and gave up on. APparently my zsustain board repair was good lol because it works great with this set.

if i can find my camera i will get some pics before i put ti all back togther..


edit: bummer. green sparkles of death... like all these other 42pc3d sets, works, but sparkles..

Did you try the fuse, anyway? Just for laughs? Then you could sell a Z-sus board as working...

I've got a VIORE PDP42v18ha, and has similar symptoms. At start up, it is bright, as usual. then after 30 seconds the picture gets very dim, and has a sort of lava lamp effect in the picture. At that time. it is able to be viewed, if the lights are out. Every time I turn the set off, it comes back on as normal, but repeats the process. Once in awhile, it will clear up while watching it.
Please, help guide me to the correct repair part/procedure.
