Should be fine, only thing to be aware of is make sure alternate PSU is from 60" set (or used in one) and can drive the big panel (most likely it will be fine.)

it is out of a 60" nec px-60xm5a. i only have $40 in the tv so i dont want to be out too much money. So youre pretty sure it will work right?

I offer no guarantees, but most likely it will work.

Will be under that board.

Hi Tom, trying to get back to fixing this TV but just don't see where a board is under another board as you indicated. All the boards on my TV are affixed to the main chassis and the connectors go through the bottom of the and are screwed to this bottom. Removing the screws that hold the individual panel to the chassis does not allow them to be removed. I would have to remove the screws that also hold the connectors, problem is I don't know which board I am to remove and don't want to start pulling parts without some guidance. I realize this is basic, to some, but I have no clue. Removing screws and parts is not a problem, just need to know what I am after. I appreciate the help. I will post some more pics here for you to look at. Again, thanks. I hate to throw this TV away when I think it can be repaired. It's a challenge. Of course my wife thinks I'm nuts.

Forum will only allow one pic upload per post for some reason so I will have to make multiple posts.

All pics are described as you are looking at TV from back. First pic is left side.

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

Last pic is upper left. Another small board to the left if the large board on the left.

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

And last pic is the bottom showing the connectors all screwed to the bottom of frame.

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

And one more from left side showing that there does not appear to be anything under any of these boards unless it is very thin. Next pic will show hoe board on left is slightly higher than right board so if anything was under there it must be thin.

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

If there is anything under this board, how do I get this thing off? The wires are tight, the connectors are all screwed to lower frame? Are we positive here?

Tom66, begging for some help here. The TV is laying where the Xmas tree needs to go and I really want to get that panel pulled before it has to be moved for fear that it may never see the light of day, haha. But serious. Thanks for the help.

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

Hi Tom,

I have a Samsung PN58A550S1FXZA and a single skinny line has appeared in the bottom right that goes about halfway up the screen. The line is usually green but sometimes is not green or not present based on the background. The green line is most noticeable on blue and red backgrounds. I attached a photo

I have confirmed it is present in multiple inputs and have tried unplugging the tv and then plugging it back in.

I am a competent DIYer and would love any advice on what could need fixed or is wrong.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

@Clinderw bad plasma panel, unrepairable, sorry.

@Merbesfield there's a reason I don't like people posting here, completely missed your post, the control board is under the last photo in that sequence.

Hi I have a 42 inch nec plasma and it turns on but the screen doesn't power up. This was an intermittent issue at first but now seems permanent?

Agreed. Thread locked for now. I also moved those last few posts on the Vizio P50HDTV10A to their own thread.
