    Transporting plasma from warm to cold to warm

    I will hopefully get a call to pick up my 60" plasma from the shop, warranty work.
    Am I right to be concerned about thermal problems with the glass panel and screen during transport? Heated shop to cold p/u truck to heated home.
    It would be in a box, temps around here lately during the day running around 35-50.

    Bo Darville: Sure, ask me what?
    Cleedus: What the Hell do we want to go to Texas for and haul beer back here? What is that?
    Bo: For the good old American life. For the money, the glory, and the fun. Mostly for the money.

        I've done the opposite - cold shed to warm house. 20C difference. Only concern would be condensation, so allow any to dry off before powering up.
        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.

          Yeah Tom, we've been without this for so long, not a problem waiting a few hours to warm up and dry out. Thanks!

            You should be fine yes if you let the TV warm up at home and give any condensation time to clear, before switching on. Bit off the subject, but I heard so many unlikely explainations before from people of how their TV or cellphone screen was still fine before they went to bed, but cracked the morning when they woke up because of "the cold weather during the night"

              Neelix,
              I've read that about tv panels and about panels cracking during use. My guess is the expansion and contraction. Some experts on here, Tom66 for one, would know if maybe some panels are mounted in a way that keeps them from expanding and contracting thermally leading to a stress crack. I know my plasma would run warm, I think I'll run mine on a "power saver" mode when I get it back. I want to make it last untill the prices for new tech tvs get to the affordable range.

                Acer Helios 500 (PH517-51) - unexpected reboots when laptop is warm (cold solder joint issue?)
                by Mirenia
                Hi everyone,

                got an Acer Helios 500 Laptop (PH517-51) for diagnosing with a strange issue:

                The laptop runs for a while (1-2 hours, sometimes less) and then suddenly shuts completely off, like someone pulled the power cord and restarts immediately after on its own.
                If this happened once, then the laptop only runs for a few minutes until restart.
                This happens regardless while staying in windows or uefi or in a linux environment.

                At first I thought of a normal overheating issue, but as I monitored temps with HWInfo64, nothing seems very hot.
                ...

                Samsung plasma tv PN51F5300BF - jerky staticky picture on whole screen until warm up
                by Ollerenshaw
                About 50% of time, on switching tv on, there is a jerky staticky picture over whole screen. After some seconds (variable, 5 to 20 seconds) picture suddenly becomes normal.
                Nothing appears abnormal inside.
                I'm not a service technician. Main questions: Any ideas as to problem? Worth taking to repair technician? My skills would allow replacing a board but nothing more complicated.
                Photos and video attached.
                Thanks for any ideas....

                PS3 Turns Off When Cold but Not When Warm
                by CdDvdFlash
                I have a Playstation 3 fat CECHK02 that will turn off at the start when playing a game or in the XMB but if I let it warm up at the XMB it plays games just fine I thought it could be a hard drive problem so I put a new 500GB SSD in but it is the same so I tried another power supply unit but still the same. I have changed the thermal paste twice now because I have also changed the fan but its still the same, it sounds like a capacitor problem to me but someone on
                PSX-Place said it could be the thermal paste under the IHS on both the CPU and GPU I dont want to try to get the IHS off just...

                Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
                by jm1234
                Hi,
                anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
                It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
                I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
                I checked that board for any obvious faults...

                Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
                by KYBOSH
                Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
                No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
                The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
                But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

                When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
                Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
                Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
                Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...
