That would point to a solder joint issue.

On Y-Sustain board taking out the fuse leaves the tv defective with the same symptoms.

So I'm guessing something isn't right with the Y-Sustain board. I re-soldered the IPM chip.

Still no go there. Guessing there isn't something right with Y-Sustain board.

The Y-sustains are available on most sites, just look under every cheap brand of TV you will likely find it.

Re: Tcl pdp42u3h

I found some on ebay but the prize for what the tv is worth is ridiculous.

Maybe should just replace ipm

Re: Tcl pdp42u3h

The problem is the model of the panel (42V6 or 42V7) is old, and parts are hard to get. A temporary fix may be to reduce Vs by about 5 volts and see if flickering stops, but it would be temporary at best.

Re: Tcl pdp42u3h

yeah then theres the loss of color isn't there.

I'm afraid this one won't be saved as its not worth it in the long run.

should I just sell the power supply off and garbage the rest.

Thanks for your help Tom its been good. I'm only learning and understanding.

Fixing plasma tv's is allot harder than other types.

How much do you have in it? I would scrap it and sell the bits.
