    Samsung PS50C6900 clicking and won't turn on

    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

    If you only want to replace, not repair the main board, I won't go into detail about what the problem likely is. Replace the main board and you should be set.

      Another update, bought same tv again with cracked screen but good boards, replaced y-main, y-buffer, x-main (again), x-buffer, power board (again), logic board and all ribbons and cables. TV powered up with screen showing for a split second then black, sound still working. After that the x-main started smoking then tv turned off and started clicking as if trying to turn on. Guessing that's another x-main blown but what is causing it? Is it possible the plasma screen is dud and I should just give up? Somebody please help....

        I'm not sure if this is the model line or not but some of these may suffer from panel cracking. A member here discovered his crack only after removing the bezel. Seems strange to blow as many boards as you have...
