    Need help troubleshooting plasma (no picture, but does glow)

    I'm pretty new to the electronics repair field (just fyi)

    I've got a Panasonic th-50pz800u that has no picture, but it does power up and stay on with a glow on the screen. I've been researching the web for a few days now and my head is swimming with information overload.

    I "think" the problem is with the A board, but I wanted to get a bit more input before I spend the cash on the board.

    From what I've read, if the Ysus was bad the panel would not prime? (not sure if that's correct, but that's what I've gathered)

    I've got the TV apart and I have tools, so please let me know if there are further troubleshooting steps I can take to be sure it's the A board.

    Thanks for any help,
    Caveman

      Well...I just read through the stickies and saw that you all like the model number in the title. Should I create a new post?

          No that's fine.
          A-board is a common fault on these sets.
          Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
          For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

              T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
              by Tr0ll
              Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

              The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

              Original T-con:
              Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

              First replacement T-con:

              I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

              SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
              by JJAAMM
              This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

              Problem
              TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

              Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
              by TR103
              Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
              - sound and backlight, but no picture
              - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
              - it keeps rebooting
              - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
              - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
              - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

              - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

              Samsung PN64E550D1F plasma – sound, no picture
              by Chris555
              The TV turns on and works normally for a short time but eventually the video shuts off and only the sound is playing. The problem has been getting worse over the past couple of weeks. Initially, unplugging for a while solved the problem and it worked properly for several hours until the next failure. Now it usually fails after a few minutes and unplugging does not always reset it to a good state. Also, it does appear that using the remote for functions like accessing the menu or changing the video input sometimes causes the failure to occur immediately, though changing the volume seems to have...

              Samsung plasma tv PN51F5300BF - jerky staticky picture on whole screen until warm up
              by Ollerenshaw
              About 50% of time, on switching tv on, there is a jerky staticky picture over whole screen. After some seconds (variable, 5 to 20 seconds) picture suddenly becomes normal.
              Nothing appears abnormal inside.
              I'm not a service technician. Main questions: Any ideas as to problem? Worth taking to repair technician? My skills would allow replacing a board but nothing more complicated.
              Photos and video attached.
              Thanks for any ideas....
