    lg 42" plasma, usp440m-42lp psu problem

    I have this usp440m-42lp psu board that has a short on it somewhere causing the fuse to blow, i replaced the bridge rectifier becuase it was short and two thermal resistors before it that were open circuit but problem still persists, can anyone link to a schematic for this board as i cant seem to find one, many thanks will

    Have you checked the various MOSFETS on the board, eg--the PFC ones, and the chip that drives the Stby supplies?

    I dont recognise that model-number--What chassis number is on the panel itself...?

    A pic of the PSU and its board number may help....

          42V7 is the main number that chassis goes by--Its been used in herds of different sets, and with a variety of different PSU's too....

          A pretty old set--I wouldnt waste any dosh on it like investing in a PSU--just not worth it for a 480/'pre HD Ready' set!

              Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
              by theone111
              I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

              In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
              1. Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
                Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again.
              2. Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
                Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve.
              3. Problem: TV shuts down

              Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
              by DynaxSC
              Hi Folks

              I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

              I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
              After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
              The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

              panasonic TH-42PC77U plasma television half screen problem
              by renech
              hello,
              I hope someone on this forum can assist me.
              I have a panasonic TH-42PC77U plasma television.
              the lower 1/2 of the screen has become flaky....in and out, then finally goes black and you can only see the top portion.
              i have performed the reset to default settings quite a few times. Panasonic recommended..did not believe this would help...it didn't.
              I have removed the back panel and looked around for something obvious...burn marks in a board, etc....nothing obvious...
              I have read some posts that suggest the problem is related to the boards on the left...

              MacBook Pro 14" A2442 Short on PPBUS_AON but no short present when injecting voltage!
              by Stephen
              I check PPBUS_AON and there is a short present on the line, the computer shows a short when testing for short to ground, so when I inject voltage into the line, I get 0AMPS so no short is showing up. I have replaced a blown cap on this board that exploded and tested for the short and it is now removed. Any suggestions? I tested voltage at the line when the fuses are connected and I am getting 1.2 Volts at the line.
