Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems

Yeah sorry misread your question, most likely you would be looking at a main board problem which is a replaceable part but may or may not be worth it (typically around $50 to $100 USD.)

Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems

Hi Tom,
Is the above question for me? The picture is fine, I am having problems with the sound not working sometimes when I turn the plasma on. Usually when you turn the tv off and back on within a few minutes the audio will not work. I have to leave tv off for at least 15 minutes before turning it back on again.
Thanks Jason.

When the picture fails to work, in a dark room, do you see a faint glow coming from the plasma screen?

Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems

Hi I am having a fault on our 42" LG plasma (42PG20D). If I turn it off and then try and turn is back on within the next few minutes there is no audio (picture ok). Also when this happens when i press the on/off button on the tv there is about a 5 second delay to turn the power off. When you leave the tv off for at least 15 minutes it is most of the time ok. Any help greatly appreciated.

Used (but should be working) Z-SUS board for your TV. Verify part # is same before ordering. Don't know if they ship to Italy though best to ask them.

Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems

There are mail in services - you post them your Z-sus, they repair it and return it. It's typically around £60 to £90 for this service (~70 to 110 euro.)

Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems

I actually recommend you send the board to be repaired, you can look up the part number beginning with 6871 on the Z-sus board.

Where i live there isnt many people that get things repaired...usually they change all part!?
Many thanks for your very important help!!

You could post it to YouTube and link the video here.

edit:- Just saw your video, definitely a Z-sustain failure there.

Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems

Most likely, the Z-sustain board, when you take the cover off looking at the back, this is on the RIGHT hand side of the set.

Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems

Consider using the board from the British version TX-P42X20B, as British standard usually very similar to EU standard. Not sure what variant it will be.
