    LG Plasma 42V8&X3

    Hi,

    Some time ago, this plasma started having difficult starts, until the point when it had to take a new YMain YSUS.

    This resolved the problem for around 2 or 3 months, but from this point on, the screen had a bit of white grain on the right corners but was sustainable.

    some days ago, it failed completely again.. now it's always trying to start, i can ear the relay clicking on and off and see the red led blinking, but it never gets to start. if i disconnect the XSUS and YSUS from the PSU it keeps doing the same. I think it's not the PSU board.. Does someone make any idea of what it may be?

    I'm also leaving here the service manual for this set, for anyone who needs it.

    Thanks for looking!

    Best regards

    Re: LG Plasma 42V8&X3

    Have you checked for any shorts on the Vs lines of the X-SUS/Y-SUS boards?
    --As you probably know--IPM's are a prime suspect on these sets....

    There is a fault that causes the PSU to do strange things. Its something to do with the opto-couplers and can be sorta cured by shorting two of them out--some guys have tried finding the actual fault this dodge covers up and spent quite some time doing so--but it hasn't been discovered just what causes it, but its believed to be on the PSU board.

    There's a thread around here somewhere about this fault, I'll see if I can find it....

      Thanks for the quick reply Alastair.

      But i already disconnected both the YSUS and XSUS, so if one of them was the issue, the rest of the circuit should start up right?

          That guide is in serious need of an update. A common (ish) fault on these is AC detect failure. Yet checking the AC det voltage on PSU connector going off to main board.

            Help repair this relic? Philips 42PF7220A/37, pulsing buzz from YSUS
            by Truncatedhose
            Greetings all!

            Originally this set had the usual messed up video symptoms such as: horizontal lines, weak, grainy video, bottom and top of picture differ in intensity of problem. It also seemed to slow to turn on or show the messed up picture.

            Seemed like must be YScan/buffer board failure. Ordered buffer boards from my distributor which were supposed to be original/new and also from another distributor, I ordered the YSUS because I wanted to replace it for preventative maintenance. (also, the YSUS had a bulged cap, so there was even more reason to suspect it could...

            plasma TV Lg 42w451 - why is the zsus igbts damaged when the ysus is plugged?
            by Salvatore057
            Hi all,
            I am trying to fix my plasma TV which is not powering on due to damaged IGBTs. I have changed two igbts and 2 IC drivers on the zsus and also two igbts on the ysus.
            Now everytime I plugged the ZSUS and the YSUS boards to the power board, the two 30f124 IGBT on the ZSUS are damaged and the TV stays in standby mode. When I plug the ZSUS board alone the TV turns ON but I do not see pictures. When I plug the ZSUS board without the two 30f124 IGBTs and the YSUS board, the TV powers on with a picture.
            I am lost, should I change the YSUS board? Is the YSUS board damaging...

            Hello,
            I am having Samsung PS51E550 Plasma TV. While the TV was working, a crackling sound heard & video went off with audio still ON. After switching it off & ON, the red LED on TV blinks six times & then off.
            Opened TV cover & observed foll
            a) Green LED on the small PCB blinks at @5-6sec ON & off for 3-4 secs. Red LED on logic board ON
            b)Vs & Va on power supply board raises momentarily to 209v & 58v resp & then drops.
            c) Cold test on Y-main board shows all 3 pins of FGPF4536 IGBT short to Grnd.

            Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
            by jm1234
            Hi,
            anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
            It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
            I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
            I checked that board for any obvious faults...

            Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
            by KYBOSH
            Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
            No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
            The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
            But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

            When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
            Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
            Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
            Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...
