Re: My first plasma, RCA 42PA30RQ - Sound but no picture

Hi lookimback,
Pretty much the same price for those compatible brands with the place tw2005 shown me, because I went for samsung brand with model the same part # that I had on my TV, that' why it cost $64 with free shipping.
Anyway, thanks for showing those places.
I will keep in mind and telling my freinds this website and you guys very helpful.
The Y buffer board will be here this week, I will post update after installed.

Was it $64 for all 3 parts? If so, that's pretty good.

At this point, I'd assume one of your new boards is defective.

You have a multimeter?

Damn. yeah I'd think the same. Must admit the wheels have fallen of the wagon at payless a bit . My last 3 orders have been 100% fail. 1 DOA, 2 incorrect items supplied due to them not paying attention to the revisions and or photos.

Only good thing is he's never left me swinging and always get either a refund or replacement.

So maybe see if there are any shorted transistors on the Xmain. I think the outer 1 either end on the heatsink were short on mine.

If so send it back and get a refund .

It's usually the 2 RJH30E2 Mosfets on the X main. That's what it was on the 3 I rebuilt. I never figured out what was wrong with the Y main. It wasn't worth the time it would have taken to figure it out.

You guys very helpful, if you guys live near me I will ask you guys to help me and I bring you guys to lunch.
Thanks for your helped, I will return all 3 parts for the refund, it is good thing to learn how to repair TV, the thing is I have no time for now because I have 3 kids to taking care of them, one of them just one year old, my wife was upset at me for spending time to much, and she agree to bring the TV to repair shop, she said scrap it if cost then $150 because now the LED TV very cheap.
I will update you for much it cost for repairing.
Talk to you guys later ( woman you can not live with them, and you can without them).
