I have no picture but everything else is working. Totally responsive remote to change channels and inputs. sound is fine. led light on the outside is fine. one click when turned on like always has. read a bunch of threads and am thinking of swapping x and y boards. I do not have the electric reader tools to check for blown anything. took the back off and everything visually looks good, nothing melted or swollen capacitors . I would appreciate some advice though,thanks.

Re: rca 42pa30rq PLASMA
Sounds like the common issue with this Samsung panel. Maybe get the buffer as well and replace the 3 at once. Visually as you've discovered there's rarely anything to spot. -

I ordered the y board because of everything I read. I hope to be successful.Comment

Re: rca 42pa30rq PLASMA
Xmain is usually the most common failure and a bad xmain can kill the ymain as they are connected to each other.Originally posted by shawn76 View Post
I needed x & y for my Samsung, buffer was ok but I got the 3 because i was getting the bits from the US and needed to get it right first time.Last edited by tw2005; 03-22-2014, 06:32 PM.Comment

Re: rca 42pa30rq PLASMA
Honestly don't know, I do know I managed to get the startup sound going on the samsung, maybe after disconnecting the x,y and the ribbon that goes to the Y. I forget now.Originally posted by shawn76 View PostComment
