    LG 50PA5500 stripped...

    So i just went and picked up a plasma. this guy is 1080p made in 2012. Preious buyer was informed its not working, but had no idea boards were stripped out of it. So 30 bucks later its on my bench. founds the boards on ebay from a broken screen tv. Almost complete waiting on a y sustain cable to come in. screen looks good and not cracked. Wonder why it was stripped of all boards.. Anyone knowing the reliability and build quality of todays plasmas want to chime in? What do you think im going to find when I power it up?
    Im guessing vertical lines or an ic completely blown out...

    Hmmm.. Diggin the suspence. lol

    Re: LG 50PA5500 stripped...

    i bought a stripped set not long ago, LCD seemed intact but there where no boards in it... £5!

    It was vestel internals which I have plenty of here, so put them in expecting a panel fault.... yes there was a panel fault.. A dead pixel! LOL

    Seemed previous owner just stripped the rest of the boards out when one went bad and sold them... Crazy really as the panel is worth more!

    Hope its good news for you

      These have tons of issues with LVDS cable and are only 2012 TVs it's bloody crazy!
      Just fixed a 32" Smart LED with an LVDS fault

          Well the cables finally showed up along with all the replacement boards, hey at 80 dollars plus 30 for the tv, I was taking a risk...

          Well heres the outcome, it is a defective panel, but not as bad as I thouht it could be...

          Two horizontal lines dropped out on the top of the screen...

          Lol I thought only Samsung was having this problem.

            Right at the top? That's a liveable fault... Crazy that a panel that new died so early...

              Re: LG 50PA5500 stripped...

              this is odd the TV was running for about 5 minutes with the patterns because I have the jumper enabled on the control board however I am still missing the main ribbon that goes between the control board and the mainboard the TV shut itself off I'm assuming it's a no signal and now when I power it back up there is no picture at all. Does it require the ribbon cable connected between the two boards to re enable something am I missing something? Almost as if even though I can hear the sustains running there's still no picture is completely black.

                Re: LG 50PA5500 stripped...

                Could be that the test pattern jumper is not in place fully?

                  I thought that so I soldered it in place. Same thing.

                    Odd. I don't know, check things like Vs, Va, -Vy, Vsc. Check 5V on control board, check PSU working.

                      Ok. The top buffer ic where the dead lines were is shorted. Hmm either the panel took out the IC or the IC was bad and finally failed. Your thoughts? The boards did come from a cracked screen TV.

                        Ah, if you got boards from a cracked panel I reckon your buffer was bad... you need to be real careful with those boards... the panel might be OK and bad buffer board cause that fault. Where did you buy buffer from?

                            Ugh, so no chance of any testing being done. Before you install new board, test as such:

                              I know I should have known better I was in kind of a hurry this morning usually when I buy a buffer board on ebay if I don't just repair the board myself With a replacement IC I usually ohm the board to the output to see if there are shorts on this one however it's possible that that Ic was damaged but not so and then under use it probably got too hot and shorted

                                This could mean that line wasn't really a fault with the panel but with the buffer board.

                                  Yes. Crossing my fingers. I have heard before of panel failure like that causing a buffer ic to short. That's what I'm worried about. I keep thinking of the back of my head that that unit was stripped of all boards for some reason

                                  oddly I can't seem to find that IC anywhere

                                    You could swap two buffer chips around to confirm the theory before ordering more parts.

                                          Best place to source RAM chips? 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB
                                          by ugamazing
                                          I'm looking to upgrade several 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB for personal use. I am curious what the best practice and process is for sourcing new replacement chips, and what vendor(s) you guys prefer? Another question is, how do I find compatible chips and their corresponding part/model numbers? For example, in the 820-00850 schematic, the DDR chip U2600 model listed (EDFB232A1MA) corresponds to 1x32GB chip. Of course, I would need 4x8GB chips to replace the 4x2GB chips currently on the board. How do I find compatible 8GB chips? Is it as simple as searching "BGA178 8GB 2133"...

                                          Panasonic TC-P65S2 SU or SD Boards Bad?
                                          by midnightg35x
                                          I have a TC-P65S2 that blew an SC board (I had a previous post about some cross references). When I put the repaired SC board in, it worked with the SD and SU boards isolated and SC50 jumped. I reinstalled the SD and SU boards. I did forget to remove the SC50 jumper, but from what I understand about how that jumper works, that should not cause SC board destruction with properly working SC/SD/SU boards. When I turned the TV back on, the SC board blew again. Based on the fact the SC board was working without the SU and SD boards, it at least makes sense that one or both of them is bad.
                                          ...

                                          TV flashes backlight then reboots over and over. no image. Client said it used to have image for a bit before rebooting. Got worse over time.

                                          tcon is built into mainboard.
                                          Only one cable goes to panel boards.
                                          there is a cable from one panel board to the other that links them.
                                          cost cutting measure that results in us having harder time to diagnose.
                                          removing the link to the second panel board allows TV to stay on with stable backlight but no image.
                                          used cut off tape method to mask 1 maybe 2 pins on the side of the cable that goes to that second panel board....

                                          Panasonic plasma A boards/Kuro media box repair.

                                          Hi all.

                                          I have 2 Panasonic plasma A boards for ST50 50"/65" and Kuro KRP 500A media box which needs repair.
                                          I'm not good enough at component repair so I need some help.
                                          A boards and especially Kuro media box is still very valuable and I can't throw it away like some average Joe,lol

                                          I'm from Europe/Slovakia and I'm searching for someone who is willing to repair these things or some tips at least.

                                          Both A boards have HDMI issue either no signal or flickering.
                                          And media box possibly with voltage regulator issue which is common...

                                          I just found out my supermicro ddr3 motherboard enforces dual channel - if I have unpaired or incorrectly paired DIMMs in a bank, it will give up and start beeping... is this common on server boards?

                                          I was trying a combination of two 4GiB modules and an unpaired 8GiB module. The only combo that worked is if I had both 4GiB modules installed. Having either size paired with an empty slot or dissimilar module, the machine would beep memory failure on power up. My other DDR3 boards would happily deal with mismatched modules though may not enable dual channel.

                                          This is a microserver...
