    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

                                  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.

                                  TV Philips 40PFT4101/12 - power on loop
                                  by betmen
                                  TV is Philips 40PFT4101/12, power supply 715G6934-P01-000-002M, motherboard 715G6947-M002-000-004Y (703TQGPL068).
                                  The problem is that when it is plugged in, the TV turns on by itself, the Philips sign appears, the backlight turns on and off a couple of times, and the TV turns off, and so it repeats itself in a circle. It does not respond to the remote and nothing is written on the screen, the red light does not blink.
                                  A few weeks ago, it used to turn on by itself about once a week, but after that it worked, now it doesn't work.
                                  I checked the power supply, voltages are fine,...

                                  Schematic or datasheet for Plasma TV buffer chip
                                  by Yanleb
                                  Hi all,

                                  I'm interested in understanding how a buffer board chip is working. I know there's about 90 outputs per chip to the plasma panel, but I'm more interested to know about the input pins. I guess that some of them are address pins, but I want to know more.

                                  So far I've found nothing at all. I haven't found any datasheet about the various buffer chips, and I haven't found any schematic for the buffer board using them (Y Buffer Board in Samsung's terminology).

                                  Any information will make me happy. It can be from any buffer chip or plasma TV manufacturer....
