Found my PSU. It's definitely not usable as-is, missing lots of parts, but MC701 is untouched.

I had it wrong, this one is one someone before me butchered completely doing the MC201/MC301 repair. I tried, but ultimately failed to repair the damage they had done.

In which case you have a different issue. Best to start a new thread and post clear photos of the power board.

Hi Tom , forgot to update this thread! Shame on me , now i cant help other people with this thread.
Got a new PS and the tv turned on. The problem was the CPU on the powersupply.

My girl accedently damaged the screen while cleaning it , it now was a small crack on the screen. The coating layer is damaged and unfortunately this panel does not have a glass front like earlier plasma's.
Will use this tv as a test machine.

So whoever has the same problem , a new PS did it for me.

These panels -do- have a front protective glass. However the glass has an antireflective coating and so cannot be replaced with conventional glass.

True , i mean a glass cover that you can remove from the panel
