Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

I'm not getting anything other than the 1. I haven't completely tested every pin I may just go but the audible meter this is a pain n my ass lol

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

With the audible meter make sure that you get a very fast tone when touching the leads, that is, it does not have an awful delay, like one meter I tested...

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

Ok I took the boards to my dads place he had a audible tester and yes buffer had shorts in a few places possible from y main having a short and it being turned on and off constantly from previous owner of set ?

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

Ill just use the 40$ ill get back from psu I purchased and get buffer and y main , might even just get another x main and logic board


Seems like it might be best to just give it a small overhaul so to speak lol

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

Carefully inspect the panel for cracks. A cracked panel can cause shorted buffer lines.

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

whats easyest way to inspect for cracks ? will they be visible without it turned on ?
screen looks flawless to me

[tom66]

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

Just check the edges for hairline cracks with a torch. If there are no cracks, then I would suggest that a replacement buffer and Y-main would sort it.

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

So I need to take panel completely apart ? And a torch why would I put a torch anywhere near this tv ? I know u said the gases n all .. Imma wait for ur response on this to confirm this

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

LOL, misunderstanding between the Queen's English and US English, I guess. Torch = Light = Flashlight etc.
You can check with the frame on.

2 weeks!

Must be slow ground service, I get their stuff within a week max to Australia.

Is that how long they have taken in the past for the local market?

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking Relays

Just as a note, I have not yet seen any of these power supplies fail on these panels ... always the X-main or Y-main boards.
