The new transistor you have just replaced does it still test ok? try testing like you did before (1-2, 2-3, 1-3)

Yes, I did test before replace the old one and it is ok. But still no picture

Sorry, now I understand what you mean. After I turned on the TV a lot of times, I have tested the transistor again and it is ok, no shorts, but still no picture.
So I can say that the problem isn't the panel? Because the transistor didn't blow up again.

Re: PL51D550C1G Plasma Samsung - No picture, but sound is ok

Update: i took my TV to another tech and he said that the problem is bad panel.
So I have 2 diagnostics: x and y boards or bad panel.

Is it possible to have a bad panel even without any visual cracks on it (visually the panel is perfect), specially after a big "explosion"?

It is possible to have a micro fracture cause a silent leak of panel gas. But usually the crack is visible. Very hard to tell unfortunately.

Update: i went to the shop where the tech who said that the problemas was the screen, and he confessed that the problemas is the y-main board. He changed the board then the screen worked.
Can you guys tell me some trustable websites where I van buy this board (and ship to Brazil)?

Re: PL51D550C1G Plasma Samsung - No picture, but sound is ok

What is the part number on the board? begins with "LJ" or "BN".

[rogerazambuja]

Re: PL51D550C1G Plasma Samsung - No picture, but sound is ok

Begins with LJ, but i'm not at home right now. I will check and post here soon.

This is the board I need: Samsung BN96-16524A (LJ92-01764A) Y-Main Board

A real picture of my board:

Nobody?

Will these guys ship to you?

What's import tax like, something around 200% from what I've heard ?

Yes, they ship. I don't remember what is the import tax here, because everything that i've bought from other countries never was taxed (but I know that it happens often, maybe I'm lucky).
The problem is that things that come from outside Brazil, stays a long time at inward office of exchange (3 months sometimes) in order to check what it is and maybe tax it or not (Yes, third world problems).

I think I'm gonna buy here in Brazil, it costs 200 Reais (US$78 or £52), almost the same price. But thanks a lot for helping tom66.

Re: PL51D550C1G Plasma Samsung - No picture, but sound is ok

Just one more question, I just bought the Y-main board and it is Rev 1.5. My TV Y-main board is Rev 1.2, it will gonna work? I didn't find a Rev 1.2 board to sell.
PS: The seller said it will gonna work.

Re: PL51D550C1G Plasma Samsung - No picture, but sound is ok

Update: I replaced the y-main board and my TV is working now!
Thanks a lot everyone for helping.

Nice!

Re: PL51D550C1G Plasma Samsung - No picture, but sound is ok

Guys, I want to put a PC cooler in my plasma TV, because I think the y board blew up because of the heat.
I have a 120mm fan, i just need a 12v line on the tv to power it.
There is a 12v line on this TV?

[tom66]

Re: PL51D550C1G Plasma Samsung - No picture, but sound is ok

There is a 15V line on the Y-main marked "Vg". You can use a resistor to limit the fan speed as 15V will be too loud.

What should be the resistor's impedance to result in 12V? Is it better to put this fan as an exhaust, to take off the heat inside my tv?

Re: PL51D550C1G Plasma Samsung - No picture, but sound is ok

Place it above the Y-main so it blows air out the top of the TV. What is the rated current of the fan? (e.g. 12V 0.076A DC printed on it, rated current is 0.076A or 76mA)

It doesn't say the current, but it is a 120mm Akasa ultraquiet amber fan (2-ball bearing) 12V DC 1400RPM. I can measure the current with my multimeter if it is necessary, but I think it is very low current.
