        The ribbons don't matter if they are still connected but it must be disconnected from the sustain and lower buffer.

        They are really stubborn you just have to keep at it and it will eventually give

          Is there a thread to get this buffer board off?

            Well only thing you will see in other threads is the same as me telling you to wiggle and pull it LOL... Always see the person with the TV in front of them come back saying they did it and we sure were right about them being stubborn.

            I sometimes pry them if they are that bad by inserting something flat between the boards and twisting it gently, I wrap insulation tape around the end of a wide flat tip screwdriver and use that

              Alright, alright! Lol! I finally got the upper buffer board disconnected. I connected the y-sus back up and turned on the tv. No picture.

                  That's as far as I can take you, Have to wait for Tom or someone more into plasma's.

                  Good Luck

                          You need to check voltage test points.

                          Vs and va located on the power supply.

                          Vsc and -VY on the ysus

                          And z-bias located On the z-sus.

                          The voltages should match the panel sticker like so:

                              Yes, power must be on.
                              And use DC range. Do not test on AC range.

                                My multimeter is pretty old and its acting up. What would be a preferred multimeter for tvs in regards to peak voltages? I have my eye on one that can check up to 600v dc and ac, is that ok?

                                  Yes - the highest voltages encountered are around 200V DC.
                                  You will not be testing anything on AC.

                                    So really don't need one that checks for voltages that high? Maybe 400v?

                                      Most DMM's are 600v standard these days anyway, I started off with an $8 DMM and never had an issue

                                        Ok. I left my upper buffer board off, plug that back up? Also, the voltages from the picture should be at or around those numbers?

                                          You can check the voltages required either with both buffers connected or both removed.

                                            LG42PC3D -UD originally with green lamp but no display or audio.
                                            Owner says was working, then went 'pop'.
                                            All 5V caps bulging. replaced.
                                            All PSU output voltages within spec but -Vy is low on YSUS.
                                            One of three parallel fets between SUS_OUT and SUS_DN is zenering,
                                            eventually shorts DG. Replaced all 3 - -Vy now OK.

                                            Y scan buffer test point does not follow YSUS output below -50V

                                            Note: This unit seems to expect YSUS output to park at -Vy in between
                                            drive signal pattern periods. A replacement drive signal board confirms this....

Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
                                            • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

                                            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)...

                                            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...
