      Double checked the fuses, they test good.

      Do I need to replace that capacitor discussed earlier or the entire board?

        If you have the same symptom chances are that cap will fix the issue.

          I replaced the cap, but it still did not work. The voltage readings are exactly the same.

          What's next? New power board?

                the only thing I can think of is if you have power supply voltages coming up check out the buffer boards for shorts and look at the very top y ribbon cable going into the panel for a crack from a known defect in the plastic casing rubbing against the ribbon cable easiest way is to remove the upper buffer board and power of the TV and if you get a grey screen on the bottom then your boards and power supply are working
                Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                  I replaced the entire power board and it still does not work.

                  What's next?

                      No I missed that. Which is the upper buffer board? The board at the top left when looking at the back of the TV?

                        Yes, it's green and has a few orange flexible ribbons coming out of it, going into the panel.

                        One test you can do is to unplug the upper buffer from the Y-sus (you can leave orange ribbons connected.) You will need to remove the screws then gently slide it out.

                        When you power the TV on if the bottom half works ok you probably have this problem with the panel. AFAIK no one has yet fixed it, the TV is scrap (unfortunately.)

                            Not that common but do recall one user having such an issue with a 42PA4500. Also affects 60" models. Seems 50" is worst affected - may have just been because they sold a lot of them...

                              I checked it again to be safe, but I get no picture at all. The screen doesn't even flicker.

                                You replaced the ps board and still don't get vs or va? Where did you get the board?

                                With my 51" samsung plasma I had a bad ps board and a bad y sus board. With nothing plugged into the ps, and when applying power to the ps, the relay would click, then full power would appear at vs and va. then they would turn off right away.
                                When y sustain board was plugged in I would get no Vs. I checked and Vs showed short on the y board. I started finding a lot of shorted parts on the y board. I checked for shorts on the y buffer board and found none. It was cheaper to replace the y board than to change all the components that were bad. It's working now.

                                    My YSUS board makes a clicking noise towards the top left of the board when the TV is on. Is that normal?

                                    Is it possible that the YSUS board is bad?

                                      If you disconnect both Y-buffers does the clicking subside? The clicking is not normal, a gentle buzz is all that is expected.

                                        With both Y-buffers disconnected, the clicking stops. It only makes a buzzing noise.

                                            Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
                                            by KYBOSH
                                            Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
                                            No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
                                            The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
                                            But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

                                            When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
                                            Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
                                            Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.

                                            Sorry if this is too repetitive, or in the wrong place.
                                            I'm new, and having much the same problem. My LG50PA5500 TV has been working flawlessly since new. The other day, while in the midst of watching a broadcast DTV channel, the entire screen suddenly and silently went dark (no snaps, crackles or pops); sound, channel selection and inputs all work OK.
                                            I have checked connections and voltages from: stdby, pwr supply board fuses, psb output voltages to Zsus board and its fuse, output voltages from Zsus to Ysus and its fuse. All precisely normal!! I've also checked voltages to the...

                                            Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                                            by TR103
                                            Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                                            - sound and backlight, but no picture
                                            - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                                            - it keeps rebooting
                                            - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                                            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                                            - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                                            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

                                            Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
                                            by Mgiffune
                                            I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

                                            I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and

                                            Hello everyone,
                                            Ive got a UE60KU6079 on the workbench that is giving me some headaches trying to troubleshoot.
                                            The previous owner stated that there had been white dots on the screen which from the description sounded like some lenses fell of the backlight LEDs.
                                            He had opened the TV from the back, trying to get to the backlight, supposedly gave up, reassebled everything and gave the TV to me.
                                            I expected the worst like ripped COF cables or a cracked panel but could not find anything like that yet.
                                            Anyway I still fully expect that there has been something seriously damaged...
