    Philips 42PF7320A Plasma

    I have a chance to buy this set cheap. here's what the owner says,
    "This TV was working until HORIZONTAL LINES started appearing. A short while later, the screen went black with bits of static. Selling AS-IS".

    What's the consensus on a problem like this? can it be the plasma panel or a possible fix if it's a resetting of a connector, circuit board problem, or possibly a PS problem? I haven't messed with a plasma before. point me in the right direction.

    Thanks guys,

    frank

      Top to bottom?
      Left to right?

      Top to bottom: Bad plasma panel
      Left to right: Buffer board

          owner said horizontal, then black screen. you think it's worth a shot if it's not vertical lines? I sent the owner an email requesting a little more specifics about the set and what actually happened. do you think it's a set worth repairing?

          thanks,

              more info from the owner:

              The lcd panel is perfect. Power is perfect, no red lights, all green. Sound works. The TV was working fine, then the top half went dark and the bottom had horizontal line spaces in white/gray. After a few restarts, that went as well. The TV is black but it flickers in multiple spots of the screen a colored static randomly. I red about the y-sus boards going bad on this model. Lots of successful fix-it stories if you google it. I just don't have the time to order parts and fiddle with it.

              what do you guys think? run out and buy it?

              many thanks to all,

              frank

                  It could be a buffer board plus Y-main failure.

                      Tom66,

                      Is that a green light to buy it? looks like boards may be available on ebay and perhaps other sources. never had a plasma but would like to try one. I'd like to pull the trigger on this one before someone jumps on it.

                      Thanks so much for you comments,

                      frank

                          It is a difficult, but far from impossible problem to fix. It depends entirely on your skill level.

                              skill level is pretty good, can solder and use a meter. fixed a lcd monitor and a lcd TV with PS problems. I may just get this one for the experience.

                              thanks Tom66

                                  Issue with Plasma Philips 37inch chassis FTL2.1
                                  by celiabrown
                                  Hello guys,
                                  My Plasma Philips 37inch chassis FTL2.1 does no picture ,and goes into protection mode after 30 seconds (red led blinks at 3Hz).


                                  Can someone has any symptom like this ?

                                  Thanks​

                                  Philips 43PUS7506/12 - Loud blown out sound
                                  by aidanmo
                                  Hello,

                                  I've got a really strange issue with the speakers on my Philips 43PUS7506/12. It makes this awful loud buzzing now. It happened after it was attempted to be wall mounted - I think the back got squeezed and something broke.
                                  I thought maybe the speakers got damaged, so I replaced them - no dice.
                                  • Using the internal speakers, it always happens.
                                  • Using the headphone jack, it never happens.
                                  • Using the digital/optical out with a soundbar - it happens after about 2h/movie runtime - it's never as drastic, it just pops in and out, but I didn't want it to damage the sound bar
                                  ...

                                  Hello,
                                  I am having Samsung PS51E550 Plasma TV. While the TV was working, a crackling sound heard & video went off with audio still ON. After switching it off & ON, the red LED on TV blinks six times & then off.
                                  Opened TV cover & observed foll
                                  a) Green LED on the small PCB blinks at @5-6sec ON & off for 3-4 secs. Red LED on logic board ON
                                  b)Vs & Va on power supply board raises momentarily to 209v & 58v resp & then drops.
                                  c) Cold test on Y-main board shows all 3 pins of FGPF4536 IGBT short to Grnd.
                                  How to confirm Y -Buffer board...

                                  Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
                                  by jm1234
                                  Hi,
                                  anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
                                  It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
                                  I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
                                  I checked that board for any obvious faults...

                                  Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
                                  by KYBOSH
                                  Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
                                  No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
                                  The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
                                  But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

                                  When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
                                  Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
                                  Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
                                  Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...
