    Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs

    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 if AC in the room isn't on
      Frequency: Happened between once on hour - once a week. mainly depends on room temperature.
      Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve. Turn on room AC.
    4. Problem: "White" video image (see attached) after powering on after a random shutdown.
      Frequency: Happened once first time today.
      Solution: picture returned to normal without intervention.

    A couple of weeks ago I removed the Power board (middle), Y sustain board (left), Z sustain board (right) and resoldered all MOSFET and coil solder points (some solder points seemed to be slightly cracked).
    No capacitors look bulged.
    No blackening spots on the PCBs.
    Measured internal voltages (as appear on the sticker inside) Vs, Va, 5v are exactly as they should be when TV is working.

    I also attached 4x DC outlet fans to the top outlet grills on the rear of the TV (connected to the TV USB ports - fans power on when TV is turned on).

    Problems - mainly (3) - still happens.

    I tried running the TV without the rear panel (to measure voltages when it happens) for a few hours without AC but couldn't reproduce the problem.

    I think the problem is related to overheating but of what component?
    What could be the problem? How can I continue to diagnose the problem?

    This is my last resort before throwing the TV out - this is our main TV and the wife wants one that works

    Test without the mainboard using the logic board auto_gen.

    I recommend always using energy saving on this TV to extend the life of buffer boards + Y-SUS.

      I usually have an image, as I wrote below the main problem I am facing lately is that after some time the tv shuts down randomly and If I wait a few seconds it works OK again until the next random shut down.
      As I understand the autogen is just to diagnose if there is a problem with the inputs and/or the main board. This is not my case as I understand it...

        With the main board out of the equation it cannot not trigger a shutdown.
        If it still happens, control board or Y-Sus most likely, Y-buffers are also problematic in this model, but the picture would look strange, unstable at least.
        Is VSUS still on when the image/panel shuts down?

          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...

          Maldischarge-link that fixes it with replacing caps
          by r-p
          Starting this thread because Capkid doesn't seem to be reprogramming controlboards anymore (LG 60PZ950 with red maldischarge) and my game-plasma also has maldischarge (Hitachi 42PD3200). So I will grasp at straws to keep them running. I am extremely bad at throwing stuff away.

          Is there any merit to this link?

          Very short version: Specific caps seem to loose their capacitance and/or increase their ESR. This may cause the maldischarge. Replace them with better/bigger/newer ones and problem solved.

          From the limited knowledge I have on the subject, I think...

          Thinkpad X1 Carbon "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021" VCC3M problem
          by Zeonalbasta
          i have a problem with thinkpad X1 carbon gen 2 "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021"
          The laptop was turned off because the MOSFET was not transmitting voltage. After checking it turned out that the gate pin on the MOSFET was the problem, because it was producing an inappropriate voltage. and it was discovered that the problem was with the Think engine, so I decided to reprint each pin, and finally the mosfet could work properly. However, there is another problem, even though the voltage has been supplied to the laptop, it still won't turn on, there isn't even an LED indicator. After double...

          Hi. I have a problem that has been going on for some time (2-3 years). It's hard to explain what it really is. Sometimes, my computer stops playing music, stops videos (starts buffering on youtube), there is no sound in games and when I minimize the game window and return to the game there is a black screen with window borders...

          Lenovo T580 - LCD Panel problem - error 0288
          by perzyk23
          Good morning,
          I have a problem with Lenovo T580, which after error code 0288 suggests a problem with the display. I checked the display and it works on another laptop. I replaced the display cable with a new one. I programmed another BIOS (downloaded from this forum) and I still have the problem of a dead display - there is an image via HDMI, and the system does not detect the built-in LCD at all. The problem appears to be hardware. What can I check to confirm or disprove this? I found many threads on the Internet related to this problem 0288, but without specific solutions. Please advise....
