This plasma television has sound, but no picture. Not a glimmer on the screen. Have checked all voltages and waveforms on main, power, control, y-sus, z-sus and buffer boards. Everything seems ok but there is no picture. Logic says probably plasma panel faulty. It could be, but have I missed something. D105 heat sink on power supply cold. The rest hot. Heat sinks on y board cool. Heat sinks on buffer boards cold. Heat sinks on z board slightly warm. So one section power supply not drawing current. Y board and buffers not drawing current. Z sus could be drawing a little current. Any ideas.

Did you check -Vy and Vsc on Y-sustain?Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
Yes Tom, I have. Vsc 134.8v. Vy 194.4v. Have also looked up info you put on this site on this model. Negative to left of resistors positive to right. Both readings come out positive.Comment

OK, do you have a scope available? Does the screen glow slightly in a dark room ?Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
I believe it doesn't glow. At the moment can't tell, television facing window and impossible to darken room. Did work on it last night though and did look for any trace of brightness, and found none. I think safe to say answer is no.Comment

Post a picture of your Y-sustain and I will highlight where to test. Any lights on control boarD?Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
Tom,
Spotted something, the buffers not connected to y-sus board. Looked ok, but not connected to correct slot. Vy and vsc voltages now incorrect when boards connected correctly. Know where I am now, maybe just one buffer faulty. Maybe both buffers and y board. Thanks for help.

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
Sorry for jumping on thread, just joined so a pat on the back to all that contribute
.
Just picked up one of these cheap and surfing net thought it was worth a punt,if I can fix it myself.
Same problem or do I have to start a new post?
Sound ok.
No picture at all,
Disconnected both buffers no change.
No heat at all on buffer heat sinks or y-sus board.
On powerboard 6 heat sinks warm one stone cold.
Only have a Beckmann hd110 to test for faults, can upload pictures no probs for help in identifying parts/probs.
Cheers Charlie

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
stingos1,
Didn't ignore you, only came back to report I had repaired my set. In my case, when both buffers connected correctly, voltages across r201 and r202 incorrect. Checked buffers, bottom buffer seemed OK on resistance readings and, as it turned out, was OK. Top buffer read 68 ohms across c116, c127, c137 and c147. Should read meg ohms. Out of circuit, about 7 meg. Top buffer faulty. Got brand new top buffer for £43 that is including VAT and postage. Part no. ebr50039008. Ebr50039005 equivalent. Some years back, with LG, if a buffer I/C went u/s, change buffer and y board. Could last some weeks without changing y board, but buffer would break down again. So with more modern board soldered every joint on print side. If I ran set with just bottom buffer, moving curtain effect bottom of screen, and heat sinks that were cold, get slightly warm. When fitted new buffer, worked straight away.Comment

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
Replaced top buffer after finding continuity by checking both sides of ribbon connectors and adjusting vy vsc on ysus board think someone had tried fiddling with it previously when seller claimed they had it from new and no repairs to it.
Liars
back panel screws had obvious damage and a couple stripped threads but I did not check upon collection
So I paid £40 for tv
New buffer £55 set now up and running
£95 and I have got 50" plasma in my front room

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
Seems your fault same as mine, in that changing top buffer got television working. Got my buffer from Charles Hyde. Having an account with them, apparently helps with price. It does seem that with LG the days of Y sustain boards knocking out buffer boards may have gone, with this model, anyway. What you have said does not surprise me, also had problems with back panel screws.
Anyway, well done Stingos,

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
Have a friend with same TV, top buffer shorted. I also did a 42PG3000 with top buffer IC shorted (on single buffer board), that buffer was cheap thoughPlease do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
Tom66,
Obviously a common fault with that model. Came across my first plasma with y board and buffer combined. It was a Samsung Ps50b450b1w. As long as buffer I/c's havn't gone it seems a kit will repair most of them. Also came across a Panasonic tx-p55vt30b, a kit repaired that y board. All three repaired now Tom, and am writing this to say how pleased I am to see the back of them. The last two, anyway.

Re: Lg50pg3000 sound but no pic.
A VT30? Call me jealous. Great panel! You should add a Kuro plasma to your repair list.
I find plasmas easier than LCDs to repair, just fixed a 50PS3000 I found by the side of the street, three FETs shorted on Z-sustain.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!!
what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol! 
i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing... -
Hi,
solder joints on heat sinks - how much do they matter? Could poor joints on heat sink cause issues if they are not properly joining to hot ground?
I'm looking at power source module of Panasonic plasma TV and I see many of these having visually poor quality, but could they matter? In general I would guess no, but I saw a video where someone was stressing out the importance of tightening the screws when fastening the power source board specifically for the ground to be connected properly.
Thanks -
Good day ladies and gentleman!
I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.
This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).
I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but... -
Hello to the forum.
My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.
So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.
To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.
So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they... -
