    LG 50PC3D Issue

    Hello! I recently came across this TV and decided to get my hands dirty and see what it takes to fix it while learning more about plasma tv's in the process.

    So far I've learned a ton and mostly from these forums, so thanks in advance!

    It's an LG 50pc3d UD

    I have replaced the YSUS and both YDRV / Y-buffers.
    Was a bit bummed out when I replaced the buffers, there was no change at all. They were only $21 a piece so I'm not too burnt.

    Attached is where I'm currently at, and I'm pretty baffled at this point. Pink lines, split screen.
    There is audio and clearly a picture behind it. I've tested antenna and hdmi with the same results.
    Inspected all caps etc, no visible damage or issues there.
    I'm wondering if it's loose or bad connections?

    Everything else seems to be functioning but as my username states, I am not a pro in this field.

    Any ideas? I appreciate any help I can get!

      I was thinking the same thing.

        Well if it's only a $30 part, I might just try that board as well. I'll see if anyone else agrees or has other ideas and order it Monday probably. THanks!

          Anyone else care to chip in with some advice before I order this part? I can provide more pics if necessary, thanks!

            I'm about to order this part but would really appreciate if anyone else could give their opinion on what they think needs to be replaced.

            Found a logic board for $30 but would really like to avoid replacing unnecessary parts if possible!

            Thanks!

              Y-sus Vsc voltage bad would be a guess; have you tried checking the Vsc and -Vy compared to panel rating? I think the control/logic is OK for now.

                I have not, but I just replaced the YSUS last week. I got it off ebay.

                Could you give me any more info on how to test this?

                Should I contact the ebay seller about a defective part?

                Thank you for the response, I really appreciate your assistance.

                  Can you supply a picture of your Y-sus?

                    I'm at work right now, but if you need an "installed picture" I can get you one tonight.

                    For now, I can give you the ebay pictures from the auction I purchased if it helps.

                      OK in your case Vscan tested across top and middle metal plates where the buffers connect - should be around 150V.

                        Sorry, I'm not 100% sure what that means hahaha. Would you mind explaining a bit more?

                          The metal plates sticking out of the Y-sus connecting to the buffers, do you see them?

                            Yup, there are 3 of them correct?

                            The "top" referring to when its installed I assume?

                            Sorry, my electrical experience is very little. I do have a buddy who is pretty knowledgable about these things though.
                            If you could give me an idea of what tool I need and basic steps to test it I would appreciate it!

                              You would need a digital multimeter; do you have one?

                                  OK, when you can, can you send a picture of it so we know what you have and how to work with it.

                                    What's your -vy voltage doing. Fluctuating perhaps?
                                    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                                      I was going to borrow one from my parents, but I haven't gotten them to confirm that they still have it.

                                      If they don't have it, I was going to purchase this :

                                      Will that work? Need something better?

                                        Found a cheaper one that I can pick on my way home tonight.

                                        Will this work?
