Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

Thanks for the responses. So I guess I first have to find the error in the panel. After that I'll start building the serial device to connect my laptop to the tv. I already planned to use it only trough HDMI. Glad to hear it is possible.

Hi,

It is possible to use the Panel without the Receiver.

Hope this helps.

Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

There's something wrong with the X- or Y- panel drivers, but it is hard to say what, unfortunately.

And the pixels on the panel:

Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

With an programmable logitech remote I was able to get the system in service mode. At least i guess. The receiver gives a clic, the panel led goes to green and a few pixels on the screen (right top corner) light up. Hitting the power button on the remote gives me another click and the led on the panel turns on to red again.
After this I connected the dvi output of the receiver with an dvi-hdmi connector to my TV. When I put the receiver in service mode I get some scrolling blocks on the right side of the screen.

Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

Hello Everybody,
Just purchased myself an PDP-435PE panel with PDP-R05FE receiver. The guy told me the receiver was broken. Not sure if that is correct.
When I connect everything the red led on the panel is burning and the green and red led on the receiver are burning. No flashing of the leds. In one of the manuals I read this means there is something wrong with the receiver. In the manual of the receiver is a table (page 182) which suggests it is in "trap switch operation" I've checked the switch and it works fine.
I've tried to go to service mode but... My remote doesn't have an "Display" button (axd1491). Don't know how to enter it.

I hoped to be able to use only the panel. Just put the video in trough the DVI connector. Audio goes to my home system. Sadly this doesn't work according to the service manual of the panel.

Anybody any suggestions where to look in the receiver?

Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

It should suck air in from the bottom and blow it out the top.

The TV uses the chimney effect to keep itself cool: the hot air enters the bottom and exits the top due to convection (hot air rises.) The fan assists this. That's why almost all of the heatsinks are mounted vertically.

Its sucking in air from the side vents only 1 side having vents & blowing out with the fan so alls good..ive nowt to get my hands in now apart from a 40"acoustics solutions lcd but that looks like a as the screen appears to have a bleed..several ccfl bad & shitty vestel board seems to have a fault..anyways back to normality for a while..thx guys

Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

Worst ive ever seen with dust..its been totally stripped so good as new..fingers crossed..i did forget if the fan blows in or blows out..ive put it to blow out as that looked right with connection wire..is that the correct way..doh

The TV uses the chimney effect to keep itself cool: the cool air enters the bottom and exits the top due to convection (hot air rises.) The exiting air is hot, the TV creates a temperature differential. The fan assists with the moving of air through the set. That's why almost all of the heatsinks are mounted vertically.

Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

I am sure you will make it back on the next one! I hope you blew all of that dust out or it will only come back to haunt you when it over heats

Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

The gas gradually goes which affects the brightness as I understand. It happens over such a period of time that you don't really notice it unless you had a brand new one at the side of it.

I like LG I used to have one of those before I got my Pioneer. You will notice that the sound on the Pioneer will be a lot nicer.

No big deal getting a freeview box. Pioneer don't seem to make fancy looking freeview menus so your not missing much. If you want to get a good freeview recorder then go for a Humax one they tend to be the best.

Cheers jasgriff..will look at Humax..ive just let my 42"lg lcd go for 100quid as i couldnt get the problem sorted..so that paid for pioneer..i had 150quid in lg but have ended up with allot better set

Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

How long will gases last for screen with it been 2005 model?
Its a very nice looking setup shame freeview not built in to MR box..What sort of money do these go for in used cond..im thinking of making him an offer as its better looking than my nearly fixed LG 42"

Re: pioneer plasma PDP-435PE

Almost forever. However, the phosphors will eventually burn out, so the panel has a useful life of 15-20 years. The other parts in the TV will probably last 5-10 years, as it is well built.



Well it's a Pioneer so probably not too shy of £700.

I got the set for 100pounds so im well buzzing..all i need now is a good freeview box maybe hd recordable if our lass lets me..i will have to love her long time..
