    Hitachi P50TP01U A Buffer board blown

    Just need some basic advice please. This 50" TV has a blown lower buffer board. ND60200-0047. 3 ICs look damaged/burnt.

    I have tested the Y-SUS board, no obvious shorts.

    Am I likely to need to replace both buffer boards, and is it likely to have caused problem on the Y-SUS board.

    Thank you Stuart

    Re: Hitachi P50TP01U A Buffer board blown

    These boards blow buffers in series. I would advise replacing the whole board. Sometimes it can damage the other buffer board. It may work for a bit but can go. Sometimes you get lucky. Blown buffer board can damage a few discrete components on the ysus. Try disconnecting the bad buffer board and power up tv. Do you have half a picture? It will be dark but the panel should light up.

    if it doesn't or it looks funky on the screen then take a clear picture of the Y sustain board and I will show you the discrete components that are known to go bad.

    if the buffer board destroyed the components on the ysus board replacing the buffer board will cause it to fail right away so you need to be careful with that.

    Take a clear pic of the ysus and
    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

      Hya, thankyou for your help. Just what I needed. I put the boards back, and just the lower buffer which looks ok. Powered up and here are the pictures as requested.

        Re: Hitachi P50TP01U A Buffer board blown

        Looks like there's issues with either the Y-SUS and or the bottom buffer board too.....

        On the set I did, I had a half picture--that was perfect, but it was my bottom buffer that had failed

        Buffers for these sets are horrendously expensive--at least they were when I looked for one a little while back, I ended up re-chipping the one I had.....

        The chips for the buffers ain't cheap either, cheapest I found was £11 each.....

          OK, sh ysus boards seem to be cheap, there are 3 def blown on the buffer board, pair from china about £70-00, Said I wouldnt repair anymore tvs, stick to vintage hifi. Ok thanks for the info. The glue around the edges it that a heat conducting goo. Also not geared up to remove replace these chips.

            The glue on the chip pins is silicone of some type, I used my finger-nail to scrape it off, get as much off as you can....

            I used a paint-stripper hot-air gun to remove the chips, they have a pad underneath thats soldered too, so just cutting the pins off the chip wont work.....

            Wrap the board in tinfoil--except the chip you intend to remove, heat at a distance of 3-4" or so full heat, and keep the heatgun on the move, until the solder melts--(test by dabbing with some fresh on the IC pins), Takes about 3-4 minutes in real time to get hot enough. (Seems like forever when you're doing it)
            Heat for a little while longer, then very carefully--but with no force at all--flip the chip up....
            Easier and much more fun to play with the likes of EL34 and its friends innit!

            Ive done TV sets on and off for years, but hate all this new crap, Give me a Philips G8 anyday!

              I have used similar techniques to what you have mentioned. Thought is wouldn't be high tech enough. Perhaps I should try a YSUS board, see if I get half a good picture, I think its the spending lots of money and having a duf tv at the end.

                If its your set,--then maybe worth doing...

                If someone elses,--then maybe not. These sets never seem to have a particularly good/bright picture, seems to be faded washed out--even when working well--They are a good few years old now too....

                  Ok, food for thought, it was going to be ours, but not desperate. If they are that bad perhaps put on ebay for spares or repair faulty. I doesn't stand me in any money

                    Re: Hitachi P50TP01U A Buffer board blown

                    Check 3 pin voltage regulators cx31 at top of board near heat sync and another one like it at the bottom there most likely shorted. Also there may be another smaller smd style transistor at the bottom near the regulator shorted as well. I'm almost guaranteed or shorted looking at the bottom buffer board in the output showing up on the screen. This particular model tv will still show a perfect bottom if the top buffer is not connected.
                    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                      Re: Hitachi P50TP01U A Buffer board blown

                      So I have the Hitachi P50V701 and yours looks damn near identical to mine on the interior.


                      Could you do me a solid? With your bottom buffer connected could you get VA/VS readings for me? WIth mine the bottom buffer is blown and the top is fine the picture comes up on the top half but my VA/VS voltages are WAY higher then they should.


                      Just curious as to what yours are in the similar state as mine is.

                      Thanks!

                      Oh and these buffers are NOT CHEAP!

                        On a different subject not related to the YSUS and buffer problem -- Are the two large capacitors on the upper right of the power supply bulged or is it just the picture making them look that way? They look bad at a glance.

                          They do look bulged, I removed and tested with a ESR meter and checked fine, but I thought the same.

                            freakaftr8 thanks for the reply, have been off for a few days, which board are you referring to, I can't see these parts on the ysus board.

                              Yes the ysus board. Right at the top and bottom of the connect for the buffers you will see 3 pin transistors on the board. One on the top and one on the bottom. Top is called cx31
                              Bottom cx-- something to the liking. See if they are shorted. They are very small.
                              Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                                I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                Problem

                                This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                                Hi folks,

                                I'm new to this forum. So my trusty 17-year-old LG 47" LCD recently died. As I was booting it up, I heard a hum followed by a loud bang, sounds of pieces flying around, and loss of power to the unit. Inspecting the PSU, I saw two obvious problems: a blown thermistor (bang + flung pieces) and a visibly bulging main cap. Inspecting as many components as I could with my Fluke MM, I diagnosed that the following components on the "hot side" of the board were also bad: one of the 2 main MOSFETs, main 8A fuse, small cap (25V 47uF) connected to main caps, and a blown...

                                Hi, I have a Hitachi tv model L47V651, there is no image, but sound and backlights turn on, so I believe the issue is the tcon board.

                                I opened the tv to access the board and took the shared pictures of the T-Con board.

                                I saw a video from shopjimmy on how to detect the model number on tcon boards, but this doesn't have a sticker like how that video showed all boards.

                                I searched the P/N number and got results with the same marking name and P/N my board has but they list other specific tv models like Vizio and Philips brand but not Hitachi.
