Bought this plasma second hand which worked perfect for 24 hours then refused to turn on, now when plugged in the red light blinks 3 times and makes a clicking sound with each blink followed by nothing, read that it could be bad capacitors so took the back off to look at the power board and all seemed cosmetically fine, changed the board anyway for an identical one out of a plasma with cracked display yet the problem persists, with x-sus disconnected it powers up first time but with a really fuzzy picture, with both x+y-sus disconnected it powers up with start up sound but no picture, guessing the x-main is the problem, any ideas what the next step is?
Update 1
Have now tried with x + y main connected and x-buffer disconnected, shows same symptoms as original post, am I to assume that the fault definitely lies with the x main/x-sus board? no intention of fixing board just getting a replacement if this will fix it
Update 2
New x-sus board arrived today, installed and turned on tele, worked alright for a few seconds with a slightly distorted picture you'd relate to a failing x-sus board then a single click and it was gone, back to original symptoms again, am I to assume that I've just blown another board by replacing it without detecting the problem that caused the original board to fail, from what I've just been reading the buffers should have been replaced at the same time
Any help as to the next step would be greatly appreciated, I'm not really a techy person, can strip down iphones easy enough and thought a tv is just a bigger version
Thanks in advcance, Phil
