    LG 50pa5500 plasma turns off

    Hello Everyone, I am looking for some help with my LG 50" Plasma 50pa5500.

    It just shut off in the middle of watching a movie and now it will turn on and all of the menu functions will work, but as soon as it receives a signal it shuts off. It does not matter which input is chosen it will show the picture and sound for about 1 sec and then power off. This even happens with an antenna signal. each time it is the same thing as soon as the signal is received the TV shuts off.

    Does anyone know what would cause this? I am a novice at repairing electronics and have removed the back panel to look for any signs of damage on the boards but did not find anything.

      Hmm, interesting fault.
      Can you try and see if accessing ISM Method in the Options menu, then INVERSE or COLOUR makes the set shut off quicker?
      Could be bright images causing shutdown? (PDP uses more power as brightness changes, this can lead to picture dependent faults.)
      Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
      For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

          Requesting Help For GA-970A-DS3 rev. 1.0, No Post code, no RSMRST# signal
          by AstutePauciloquent
          Hi everyone, over the past few months i have taken a deep dive into motherboard diagnostics and I love the challenge. Currently im trying to learn all about the signals that travel around the motherboard, such as frequencies, enable signals High and Low logic states etc. And i have been learning to read and using the Schematics for this board that i requested here on Badcaps forum, from a few months ago, this is such a great place for these.

          I’ve been working on a GA-970A-DS3 (rev. 1.0) that does not post. This motherboard has been my main learning board. I would like share...

          Samsung PN43E450A1FXZA (Plasma) - Display up for 4 mins, then shuts itself down
          by berriferous
          Set was manufactured in 2012. I'm trying to diagnose where the problem is. I am assuming it is over-currenting after heating up? Display looks fine until it decides to shutdown. If I keep turning it on, it will eventually refuse to power up and requires unplugging to get it to respond again.

          I originally thought there would be some easily detected bad electrolytic capacitors, but I don't see the telltale signs. There might be some very minimal bulging on one of the x buffer board. BN96-22092A (LJ92-01852A).

          If I unplug the power feed to the X/Y board (LJ92-01854B), the...

          Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
          by howardc64
          Failure Symptom



          No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

          Where is the short?

          Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



          Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...

          MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable
          by Stephen
          MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...

          Good morning.

          I have posted here before and have gotten AMAZING advise (thank you!). I'm back for more. This BCaps Sub Forum is so well attended I thought I would post here.

          This question is for an automotive application but has to do with what are essentially electrical questions and problem solving... If this is inappropriate I get it. Feel free to delete it or move the question.
