    Panasonic PS-50PS14 Plasma 50"

    Greetings BadCappers:

    --The visible part of the screen measures 24-1/4" tall. The bottom 9" blacks out intermittently (see attached picture). No blink codes and no other incorrect behavior. I have the back off and there are no bulged capacitors, or burns any where. Everything looks pristine. I do have the Service Manual which provides component values.

    --I would appreciate any advice on where to begin. I will be glad to provide pictures of any area of particular interest.

    Best Regards

    Try reseating the bottom buffer board. Does this happen with all inputs and osd?

      Tom66, also a member at eevblog, wrote this that might help you understand the failure.

      I, myself, have no knowledge in plasmas other than I can watch one.

      If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

      We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

      Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

        This is most likely a (lower) buffer failure, though I have never seen this occur before... suppose there's a first for everything.

        I got to watch the 50" NEC plasma I fixed for my dad, now I'm back from uni over the holidays. About 6 years old, picture looks better than my brother's new Samsung 46" LED, and our Samsung 40" LCD (also repaired.) Next time I see a good plasma, I think I will keep it for our student house...

          Greetings BadCappers:

          --The problem occurs on TV or computer input and with or without menu. See the picture below for board placement. Now, on eBay they are selling C1, C2, and C3 as buffer boards, is that correct. And if C1, C2 and C3 are buffer boards, then, which one is the lower buffer board, if anyone happens to know? Also see below, pictures of what I can see of the three boards. Thanks for the help.

            Those are the address boards; the buffer boards are on the left of the panel, looking from the rear. The address boards -nearly never- go wrong.

              Dear Tom:

              --By lower buffer board, I would assume you mean the board labeled SD in the Board Placement Diagram, is that correct?

                Yes, that is correct. First, try reseating the cables/connectors around it. If that fails, replace the board.

                    Dear Djrp23 & Tom66:

                    --Unfortunately reseating those damn flimsy cables did not work. But replacing the board in question for $40 did the trick. So my Brother (who watches TV) has a nice Christmas present. Thanks for the help.
