    Lg 50PA6500 No picture

    I have a 50PA6500 I bought broken to repair. It doesnt show anything on the screen. The seller said they were watching tv one day and they heard a sound and the video stopped. They say they still heard audio but I dont know if thats the truth or not but I will tell you what Ive seen.

    I replaced the 2 y buffers on the left (connected to the y sustain), the power supply board, the z sustain, and the y sustain board but no luck. I hit the power button and im not even sure if it turns on all the way because no video is showing so I dont even know what input or channel its stuck on or if its turning on.

    Before I started replacing parts I heard it make a clicking noise when I would hit power but now it doesnt make the noise and it seems like its on but no video. I see a red light that stays solid on the main unit board (if thats the name of the board with the video inputs) I also see a green light that blinks on and off on the main logic control board. I dont know what else to do.

    I also dont know if the power button light is supposed to do anything on the front because I never saw what it looked like working. My other tvs have a solid green or solid red light in front when turned on.

    What experience do you have of repairing Tvs
    Do you have multimeter and soldering equipment.
    Have you read the third sticky at the top of this forum

      I fix a lot of things. I have a little experience on tvs. I fixed a different plasma tv before but I changed 1 board and I was done. I have a multimeter but I have ony used it to fix xbox 360s. I never used it on anything else. I have been working on this tv off and on for a month.

          I read that post before I made this one but he did not replace all the parts I replaced. As for the ref library everything for lg says expired on the 4th. The link went to nothing.

            There are a few common faults on this unit. One of them is a bad plasma panel caused by screws eating into the panel ribbons. (Design flaw!) Try running your TV with only the bottom buffer board installed. If you get a part picture (will be somewhat distorted or fuzzy) then you probably have a bad plasma panel.

              So you are saying test it by disconnecting the y buffers from everything

                Just the top one, and you only need to undo the white connectors.

                      I tried to test it with the white connectors off but i still saw nothing. Later I plugged the white connectors back in with the power cord disconnected and I saw a spark come out the white connector. Still no change what do I do?

                        You might have a different fault then, could you repeat the test, but leave the TOP board installed and remove the bottom one?

                          Are you talking about removing the connectors of the z buffer

                                T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
                                by Tr0ll
                                Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                                The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                                Original T-con:
                                Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                                First replacement T-con:

                                I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                                This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

                                Problem
                                TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

                                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
