Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

Hi guys,

Currently facing same problem with my LG. Does the VA and VS should always show the voltage? When I connect anything (like Z-SUS, Y-SUS, main board) the VS and VA drops off under 1 volt. I have checked ALL capacitors and all of them are fine. the fuses are good. What that could be?

Thanks in advance and sorry for opening the thread all over again.

Hi Tw2005,

thanks for the info, appreciate that.
currenty my Z-sus loss the vs. replaced RD2004 Commonly transistor, 30F124 and ic driver FAN73711. now get back power....

Hi,

Fyi, as per attachement.

thanks.

That's an easy one. ROHM RF101L4s, 400V 1A super fast rectifier. ES1G would be ok or ES1J (600V) would do but well else is blown? test out of cct and the pads on the PCB. I'd be checking or replacing FET driver ICs too

Hi Tom,

Currently facing same problem with my LG. found the zener diode/ scholtky diode kaput and code is blur..xx14 something. can found at Z and Y sus board...may know the to get this part? need help.

The problem is completely different unfortunately.

well hopefully its an easy fix

Thanks a mil for your time Tom.
Will try to troubleshoot the most common problems then.
Parts are not readily available in south africa, so i will have to troubleshoot with what i got.

Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

sounds like simialr problems on the Lg tv i picked up yesterday

only difference is the fuse is blowing on the psu

Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

OK, at least you have ruled out a plasma panel short. It must be Z-sus then. Common faults are shorted transistors, bad diodes but also the chips which drive the transistors can go bad.

Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

Yes it does.

Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

Did that connector go to the bottom of the panel (long green board) or not?

[Fengo]

Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

Still dead-end. Just clicks on and off.
Also thought z-sus is defective.
Any idea what usually fail on it?
Thanks

Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

I think you have a defective Z-sustain then. But one final check. There is a little connector on the Z-SUB board. The Z-SUB connects to the Z-sus and panel. Where does this cable go -- to the bottom of the plasma display? If so unplug it (power must be off!) Then plug set back in WITH z-sus connected. Do Vs/Va come up? Do NOT reconnect this connector with power applied!!!

Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

No test patterns at all. When z-sus connected psu clicks on and off, no voltage readings on Va and Vs. Z-sus removed voltage match panel sticker.
Also noticed that when ribbon cable fom z-sus to control board were removed, high pitch sound from z-sus were quiet.
But it still clicks on and off.
Problem with z-sus must be on Vs rail, coz when 250V fuse on z-sus were removed, psu clicks on and stay on.
Power also went to control board, and green led flashes.

Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

OK, see attached.

TV must be unplugged:

Two holes marked EXT AUTO GEN: Place a small wire jumper connecting them.

The connector I have highlighted: Unplug it.

Turn TV on (plug it back in.) Do you get test patterns? If NO, check Vs/Va. Do they match panel sticker? If NO, unplug Z-sus (this time with power off.) Power TV on again, do purplish/dim test patterns appear?

Thanks Tom

Re: LG 42PT350R clicking on/off

Your Vs and Va match panel sticker?

In the middle of the set there's a small green board which connects to nearly all of the others. Please post a picture of that.

Nope, no image at all. Screen is completely dark.
