Rca 42pa30rq

[bmich1964]

I have a 42" Plasma 42PA30RQ that I got for free. I have seen a few posts on this model
It has no picture or sound and clicks when turned on.
I have replaced main power board and Y-Main board still clicks and no picture
Question is If I replace the x-main board does anyone think that will fix the problem
None of the components looks bad at all

Thanks for any reply
Bill

It sounds like a power board problem to me. Post pictures of the set layout.

This is often an x-main problem however sometimes a bad x-main can damage the y-main on these plasma panels so carefully check each for shorts.
