Re: Samsung S42AX-YB04 Plasma TV stuck in standby

No -- that capacitor is fine. And do not purchase capacitors from Maplins. I thought this was previously emphasised as a bad idea...

Re: Samsung S42AX-YB04 Plasma TV stuck in standby

ok mate, no i did not know not to purchase caps from maplins :/ thought they kinda all done the same thing, i do know though that panasonic and i think its capxon make the best ones (long lasting).

Re: Samsung S42AX-YB04 Plasma TV stuck in standby

Dear god!!! No No No! CapXon are the WORST!

I have replaced more CapXon than any other capacitor. EVER. NEVER EVER use CapXon!



Panasonic and Rubycon are top notch.
Nichicon and Chemicon are also very good.
Any other capacitor is presently untrusted -- but in general performance their is bad.

Re: Samsung S42AX-YB04 Plasma TV stuck in standby

ahh ok, well sayin is true you learn somthing new everyday im sure i read somewhere that Capxon where good.. im sure ive replaced a few capxon myself, if there so bad why do manufacturers keep using them, is it just that there cheap and they know there gonna fail ?

Re: Samsung S42AX-YB04 Plasma TV stuck in standby

They use them because they don't care what happens after a year and most capxon will squeeze to lasting a year.

Re: Samsung S42AX-YB04 Plasma TV stuck in standby

No, probably not, the plasma panel is bad (defective) You will have to live with the line if you want to keep it. Can we see a pic of it?

Re: Samsung S42AX-YB04 Plasma TV stuck in standby

[tom66]

Re: Samsung S42AX-YB04 Plasma TV stuck in standby

Re: Samsung S42AX-YB04 Plasma TV stuck in standby

hi everybody. it's my first post so please be gentle . i have a samsung 42" plasma tv model number ps42a456p2d stuck in standby. the power supply is a BN44-00204A DYP-42W3 very similar (if not identical) with the power supply above. i checked the low voltages, only PS_ON and STS_5V are present (3.3 and 5.01V). I did some capacitor replacements but without any luck so far. what can i do next? some help will be much appreciated. thanks
