    50HP66 Again!

    A while back I posted a thread about the PSU not working. Well I have a new one of those now, and now I have additional symptoms. There is a transparent grayish bar that goes across the top of the TV, it's about 2" wide. The TV will turn on and stay on now, but first it has to turn off and on a few times. During that time, the screen will be a reddish black for a moment, then go to a very faint blueish black when it displays the "Please wait" message. I unpluged the YSUS and ZSUS boards and the TV wants to turn on-off-on-off-on-off again, so any ideas?

    Pictures would be helpful but it sounds like its probably a buffer or ysus

      What does the buffer look like?

        Runs along the left edge of the plasma panel, looking from the rear.

          Is there a way to test to see if either of those is bad? I mean besides getting new ones. lol

            Well here are some photos of what's going on with the TV. Let me know if you need anything else.

              That looks like a bad upper Y-buffer to me, also.

                Do you think that I should replace both the lower and the upper? Or just the upper?

                  You can usually get away with just replacing a single problematic buffer in these older LG-based TVs.

                    Is the board called XR XL or XC?

                      The XR, XL, and XC are the ones on the bottom. You need the upper one on the side. I believe I may have one of these that I know for a fact is in working order if you want to post a picture of yours.

                        Before you replace it you might try reseating the upper ribbon. The board you are looking for is at the top left corner of the tv if you are looking at it from the rear. Just a word of warning the ribbons are a pain to get in perfectly.

                          I took it off and reseated the ribbons, but it's still the same. While I was doing that I took photos of the darn thing. Here they are. I believe the part number is 6870QDC004A.

                              I will check out the board I have tonight for you but I'm almost positive that's the one. I'll answer you here or shoot you a PM. Could probably send it to you tomorrow so you'd have it by Saturday.

                                      Hey sorry I've been away on business. The TV is doing something else new. (I haven't replaced the Y board yet either.) I included some pictures. Do you still think it's the Y Board or something else?

                                        well I can tell you your sustain boards are working. that seriously looks like a main board to me or scalar board possibly
