    i want to learn how to fix plasmas, please help

    I have a lg plasma, I have fixed many lcds buy no plasmas. This tv had a blown fuse on y sus, it has 2 fuses on that board. 1 was blown, I replaced it and it turns on but no picture. On screen where y sus is, it has like fuzzy stuff on screen. But I. Figure there a component on y sus board that I can fix? What should I look for? I don't know how to check the 3 legged mosfets. So any help will be well appreciated.

    I think I'd post some pictures of the setup, the fault and the model to help everyone identify if it's a common fault.

      Check out the Application-Note in my sig.

      It gives a fair idea on how a plasma screen functions. Its much better than any maker's info as it hasnt been poorly written--Then translated to English!

        LG 47LB5DF blown power supply board
        by cmlewis89
        Hi folks,

        I'm new to this forum. So my trusty 17-year-old LG 47" LCD recently died. As I was booting it up, I heard a hum followed by a loud bang, sounds of pieces flying around, and loss of power to the unit. Inspecting the PSU, I saw two obvious problems: a blown thermistor (bang + flung pieces) and a visibly bulging main cap. Inspecting as many components as I could with my Fluke MM, I diagnosed that the following components on the "hot side" of the board were also bad: one of the 2 main MOSFETs, main 8A fuse, small cap (25V 47uF) connected to main caps, and a blown...

        HP X360 convertible battery blown fuse error, not charging
        by drscoot
        HP Modelnumber: 14-dh0061nb​
        This laptop had a shorted cap on a Vcore section. After replacement is works again. But there is still a battery issue.
        The battery is HT03XL and with the built-in component test from HP, in the Power section, I get an error: Logic State: Calibration required (20), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
        I have another same battery, also with error: Logic State: Very Weak (70), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
        And a third battery TF03XL (looks identical) with error: Logic State: OK (0), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
        All these 3 batteries are charging...

        Identify blown component on HP ENVY X360 13-arxxxxx, Motherboard G1 13 AMD X360 18740-1 448.0GA03.0011
        by w00pz
        I have blown a component on HP Envy x360 with motherboard G1 13 AMD X360 18740-1 448.0GA03.0011.
        Unfortunately there are no schematics available and the component was so blown the marking weren't readable.

        I have marked it with a red circle in the attached photos - sorry for the mediocre quality I was too much in a rush.
        Hope someone will be able to identify the component.

        Many thanks for your help!

        Edit: High-res picture added on a normal board (not mine)...

        Part selection for possible blown inductor on ASUS GX531-GW-AB76 laptop mobo
        by swerg
        Hey everyone,

        I'm a novice trying to repair my laptop. The LCD screen has an image, but no LED backlight for the image. It also produces an image when connected to an external monitor.
        I have found what I believe to be a blown inductor labeled "L4502" and "120 Ohm" in the schematics (zoomed in image, blue arrow to blown component). I have included an image of the general area of the mobo and an excerpt from the schematics as well.
        I am having trouble selecting a replacement component, which I believe to be a 120 Ohm ferrite bead, from the components...

        What problems could this blown cap cause in a Marantz SR5400?
        by ohren
        I'm looking at a vented C513 in a Marantz SR5400 (photo included), in the FR section on page 24 in the service manual (https://audiocircuit.dk/downloads/ma...400-avr-sm.pdf).

        R533 right below it in the photo is charred, but measures the correct value.

        1. I'm not familiar with amplifier circuits (at all — don't know the difference between classes, etc.) so I was wondering what problems would manifest from a supposedly non-operational C513? I didn't hear anything odd when testing the output channel with a speaker. Is there a simple test that can be done...
