any site to check panel compatibility?

[sammy76]

Hi everyone. I purchased a Samsung pn58b540s3fxza with sound but no pic. After getting it home I noticed there's a tiny crack in the screen. First question is will a plasma TV turn on and not throw an error code if the panels cracked? Second ?? Theres someone selling a pn58b650s1fxza for parts cheap here, are the panels the same? Is there a site to check or do I have to actually take the back off and check the sticker?

1. It will almost never work with a crack. In the rare cases it does work, the picture will be severely compromised (see here: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNj...kVk0/$_57.JPG#)

2. There is no direct way to check compatibility. The one thing you have going for you is the 5 series and 6 series are both Full HD panels. However there may be differences in the driver boards and control logic, which will mean they will have to be swapped with it. A right hassle! The best you can do is Google the TV model numbers to get pictures of the boards and confirm. At the very least I expect the sustain boards to be different. The PSU may be identical.

Personally, I would not bother swapping the panels over, as for such a large screen it will be a very complex job. I would fix the other TV and regard this one as a loss or sell it for parts.

Thanks Tom, what I meant was the other TV has the same sound no pic issue. Just wondered if it would stay on or shut off and error out with a bad panel? Don't think th guy would let me take it apart before buying.

Well, that is probably not going to be fixable by swapping over parts unless the boards are compatible, as I mentioned this is probably not going to be the case unfortunately. You would have to do a diagnosis and repair of the fault.

Go to shopjimmy and type in your model. Then confirm the ymain is the same, so taking the back off and checking the parts would help. You'll see a couple of revisions but they are physically essentially the same.

Thank you both for your help.

I did something similar a while back.

A 42 Sony monitor plasma with the LG 42V7 chassis and a Matsui with the same chassis....

Panel itself was much the same. However the Sony used a different PSU so it was impossible to mount the PSU as was intended.

I did jury-rig the set up in the Matsui and gave a perfect picture with the 'new' Sony LG V7 panel, but further than that Ive not mounted/made a mount for the PSU....

Thinking of cutting a section of the metalwork from the original panel, mounting the PSU on that as all the mounts will then line-up then fixing that onto the Sony V7 panel.....

Ive already removed the mounting-studs from the Sony PSU to the ally panel rear....

Time to get me angle-grinder out!
