Re: LG 42PC5DC plasma tv clicking on off

What's the panel version of this TV? Per the mal-discharge service explanation, I've only had success with 42X3 and 50X3 panels to this point. For example, I had a lot of issues with a 50X4T panel - screen only showed vertical bars after the flash, and I had to revert back to the original software.

"Control boards for the following panel versions can be programmed, but I've only had proven success programming PDP42X3#### and PDP50X3#### boards to this point. Other boards for panels in the list below can be programmed at your own risk."

Flashing the board usually is not an issue, and the software tells me whether it happened successfully. Any issues wll normally show up after it's installed in the TV.

Ok so after you flash the board I install it and lets say I encounter a whole other issue
Do I have to pay you again to re flash it back to the original software?

I don't think that was in the details

I can restore the original software for free; you'd just have to pay shipping both ways. You might be able to find a cheap replacement for less than the cost of the round trip shipping, though.

Here is the update

The tv works great after the reflash of the control board

I had to readjust the pot on the xmain and the red and green snow is gone

Thanks everyone for the help

When I flashed your board, I wasn't sure it would work in your TV. That's great news. I'll add this board to my list of successes for future users

Edit: For anyone else that might be reading this, what Jose mentioned regarding adjusting the Vzb on the X-main after the logic board is flashed is a documented adjustment for this particular panel version.
