Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
The fault with that board will be the IPM module - the large "chip" (actually a hybrid module, with discrete silicon and a conventional PCB) under the heatsinkPlease do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
Should I swap the IPM module from the original board and use it on this new board?Comment

It would be very difficult
I would swap -Vy module insteadPlease do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
Ok Tom..
I completed the task of swapping the module..
I used the hot air technique to remove the module without damaging it at all..
I cleaned everything really well and installed the module on the original board as well as possible..remember, I did hack the original board and module up pretty good..(Before I read and researched the hot air technique)
After installing the board and double checking all connections I turned the tv on and got picture and sound..with just the lightest hint of those sparkles (green this time and no red sparkles).
I still had the light part of the picture doing that fade in and out thing going on...and then I saw the longer the tv was on that my picture faded away and left a white screen.
I'm wondering if my "hack job" on the removal of the module from the board the first time may be the reason that the pic faded away...?Comment

Can you check the -Vy on your board and see if it is unstable or not.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
Oh...I tried powering up the tv and it shuts itself off in just a few seconds and the red light on the power board comes on so I probably wont get a reading on on anythingComment

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
LOL!
I really can't say anything..I did mutilate the board up pretty badly!
I'm probably the cause of the problem now.Comment

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
Can't get a reading...
It shuts off so quickly I can't get the probes on it to read it...
I've taken the board back out of the set...powered it up and my sound came back.Comment

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
I'd suggest checking across Vs and GND on the power connector for shorts. To me it sounds like your IPM has failed.

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
Probably brought on by my mutilation of the board!
Well, I'm going to put the module back on its original board...now that I have the means of doing it without harming anything in the process...
Since I know this "new" board already has a bad IPM I might as well "play" and get some practice in on soldering techniques and swap the IPM from this one to the "new" one and see if anything changes...
I checked Vs and GND on the power connector on the board...I don't get any audible...unless I probe Vs to Vs then I get an audible...Comment

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
Tom,
Sorry for the lengthy pause, I had to go to the hospital and stay for a while..heart trying to act stupid on me..
Turns out you were right about the IPM..I checked it again and got an audible...upon inspecting the IPM I found a couple of cracks in the base of it and if you put any pressure at all on it I got the audible..
So, I used it to practice desoldering on it...got fairly well with it and went ahead and removed the IPM from the "new" board and cleaned it up real good and will order an IPM for it...Comment

Man, you have a lot of patience. I would have thrown it in the trash by now. Or connected the plasma panel to 2000V and watched for fireworks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkvQ9aWM0DEPlease do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Hello, I'm new to the group and to trying to repair a LCD TV. During the past few years, I've been collecting/repairing/restoring vintage personal computers (Commodore, Apple II, Atari, TRS-80, Texas Instruments, and Timex Sinclair). This has been my retirement hobby. Now I've gotten interested in trying to repair a LCD TV that I have and used regularly when working on vintage computers.
The LCD I'm working on is a Insignia NS-LCD019. I've downloaded the service manual that I could find, but it must be a different revision since not too many items in the service manual match the TV... -
I Am Looking For Some Direction, Or Suggestions On Where I Should Focus My Attention. I Have A 59 Inch Samsung Plazma Tv. The Tv Was Working Decently, Maybe Once In A Blue Moon, I Had To Unplug And Plug It Back In, As The Tv Would Just Shut Down And The Standby LED Light Would Come On And Stay On. If You Tried To Turn The Set Back On, The LED Standby Light Would Blink Rapidly Until You Released The Remote Button. Too Fast For Flash Codes. Once Plugged Back In, The Set Would Work Fine, Sometimes For Months. I Took The Back Off Of It, As The Was Some Distorted Pixels On The Right Side About 1/2... -
Having a new problem with the 19" Insignia that I modified with one of my automatic turn on circuits. That is now completely disconnected so that is not the issue. I was doing some modifications on that circuitry and managed to short something out on the underside of the power board.
Actually found and bought the service manual (who knew it was even available?!) which brought me to the High Voltage Startup Circuit controller chip.
Looking up that chip number- LD7575APS brought me to the attached datasheet. I have marked my voltage readings on the schematic sheet (open in new... -
Eventually discovered a burn mark near lower corner of LCD. Here is a summary- Backlight on, no image
- Disconnect right buffer board (view from front), left side display comes on
- Masked off pin 7+8 (both ~12,5v on both left and right buffer board) from t-con to right buffer board (view from front) display works but have some lines
- Buffer board is pretty simple

I have a weird backlight issue on the above Insignia Plasma that I am coming up empty on researching.
The display is darker on the left than on the right side of the screen. It uses 4 U shaped plasma tubes. I have had it apart deep enough to tell you that the tubes are bright as they should be at the electrode ends but dim as they get to and go around the bend.
Since it is all 4 tubes it seems like it would be an inverter/backlight board but obviously can't be a blown up component as it does still somewhat work. I'm thinking low voltage but no idea where to go beyond...06-10-2023, 01:36 AM
