    Vizio P42HDTV10A with LG internals shutting off after 15 seconds.

    I picked this set up yesterday because I have a ton of parts for these LG plasmas lying around. It showed the symptoms of a bad YSUS board. I brought it home, swapped in a good YSUS and buffer and turned it on. It showed a good screen with the typical sparklies, but then it shut itself off. One at a time, I unplugged the YSUS and the ZSUS with no improvement. After 15 seconds, it shuts off. I swapped in a different PSU, it still shuts off. At this point, I figured it was either the Sub-PSU, which I don't have an extra of, or something on the main board, which I also don't have an extra of. The sub-PSU showed correct voltages, even after the unit shuts off so I focused my attention to the main. I've traced it even deeper to either the tuner board (the small square board on the left in the pic showing the whole main) or the circuit on the main that powers the tuner board. With the tuner unplugged, the unit will power on and stay on but none of the controls work i.e power, menu, channel, etc. From the unplugged connector, left to right, I see...

    12V
    12V
    0.0V
    0.0V
    5V

    This makes me believe the main is functioning, but there is a short on the tuner somewhere. I've verified all surface mount voltage regulators are outputting the correct voltages per their label. There are two more larger regulators that show as follows...

    U1
    7805CT
    RRD605 G
    12V
    0V
    5V

    U2
    MSP1250
    ADJS
    52N03
    5V
    3.3V
    0V
    1.2V
    0V

    At this point, I'm leaning towards a bad tuner board, but I guess there is a possibility that the main board could have a problem when that circuit is under load.

    Any thoughts?

    With just the 5V wire pulled from the plug to the tuner board, the tv will power up with no controls.

      checked the fuse on the tuner board?

        Yeah, I checked both fuses on the main board too. They all check good.

          Check the control board for an AUTO GEN option.

            The control board is the main board right?

              No, it is the equivalent of a T-con on this LG plasma.

                OK, I found it. It's a connector with four pins.

                        Wire up the PSON and VSON so you get good Vs/Va.
                        Short pins 1-2 of the AUTO GEN.
                        Do test patterns appear?

                          It would appear that the panel works fine. I can connect a signal to the set and see a good picture. The only problem is that the power supply shuts off after 15 seconds when the tuner board is connected.

                          Do you think it's a bad panel causing the set to power off?

                            I doubt it, a panel cannot fail in such a way. If the picture is good (minimal to no maldischarge, no stuck rows/columns) then there should be no issue.
                            Perhaps the tuner board has an erroneous sleep timer set up?

                              I ordered a tuner board. I'll update when it's installed.

                                New tuner board installed, TV still shuts off. I've got one more ace up my sleeve. If that doesn't work, I'm going to strip it down and swap the panel into a 42" Akai that I've got in the basement. It uses the same PSU, Y-SUS, Z-SUS, buffers, and logic board, but a different main and no sub-PSU.

                                  No dice. Something is up with the 5V circuit in the main board. I'm going to swap this panel into the other set when I have time and (hopefully) be done with it.

                                    I emplore you to avoid these LG based plasmas in future (42X2, 42X3, 42X4, 50X3, 50X4 etc.) They are utter nightmares.

                                      Yeah, I'm done. I need to be smacked for continuing to pick them up. I'm trying to get rid of some parts that I've accumulated, but I keep adding more parts.

                                        Newer ones are almost as good as Panasonic picture quality wise and are fairly well built, but the IPM based ones are abysmal.

                                          by Tynan Dill
                                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          Hi.

                                          picked up another TV. This time is a Vizio M65-C1. TV does not turn on. I had repaired another 60 inch vizio , Bad main board.
                                          When power button is pressed, the Power led indicator on the bottom right, turns for a few seconds and then it fades away. No backlight or Vizio logo on screen. Removed back cover and repeated test.
                                          This is the TV This TV is a little different from the Samsung I have worked on. Power supply is on the Left side, Main Bd is on the right side, T-CON , not in the picture is on the bottom. I am assuming that the boards in the middle are the LED...

                                          Samsung PN51F8500AFXZA broke off the tuner's F connector, can't get tuner de-soldered
                                          by DXseekerMO
                                          I can hear Fred Sanford now...."YOU BIG DUMMY".....I pulled the "F" connector out of the tuner by accident. The tuner number is BN40-00248B. Low and behold I had a scrap board with tuner number BN40-00248A. Although the tuner is different (according to Encompass.com) it's footprint on the board is exactly the same as the 248B so I decided to de-solder the tuner off the scrap board to see what I was getting in to.

                                          As you can see in the picture the terminals and solder pads are super small. No matter what I tried I could not get either the terminals or support...

                                          Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel

                                          Failure Symptom



                                          No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

                                          Where is the short?

                                          Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



                                          Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...
