    LG 50PJ350 Mal Discharge

    Hi there guys, I've got an LG 50pj350 here with what looks like rather bad Mal discharge. Tv was working fine the night before, when turned on the next day the screen flickers bright white at start up then turns on as normal however there seems to bed severe mal discharge (sparkles everywhere).

    I read a thread here where someone had the same issue which was solved by replacing the Zsus board so I decided to wing it and replace the zsus however the issue remains. I've tested voltage test points on the power supply, ysus and zsus boards and all appear to read correctly (Va: 60v; Vs:208v; VSC:198v; vy:135v; VZB:100v). Unsure how to proceed from here, assuming something is wrong with YSUS board? However I don't know how to confirm this and they are rather pricey at about $125USD, there are repair kits available but they don't list which components are included.


    Thanks in Advance.

    I have a complete boardset for this model gathering dust from broken panel.

    Hard to say whether you may have bad buffers or there have been some LGs reported here with cracked solder on some of the inductor coils on the ysus (I think). Just not sure if this model or not.

    Pictures? Not greatly familiar with the LGs.

      Hey mate, just took a few quick pictures, let me know if there's something in particular you need photos of. On the plus side I've managed to find a replacement board for about $40pp if it comes down to replacing it.

        Hoping for a pic of the actual fault. looks ok in the only shot of the screen. Yeah $40 is a good price although rare to find much here for sale.

          LG 60PV450 Possible Bad YSUS Need help confirming Diagnosis
          by PlasMatt
          I have an LG plasma that after reading through a bunch of posts and doing some testing I believe has a bad YSUS board. The problem is that that doesn't make sense to me for some of the symptoms. The problem started yesterday. While watching a movie the TV just shut down like I pressed power. I have it hooked to a PC and use RS232 to turn it off and on so I thought maybe something had glitched there. I turned it back on and finished the movie with no problems. The same thing happened today so I checked logs to see if something in the control glitched and sent an off command but it didn't, After...

          plasma TV Lg 42w451 - why is the zsus igbts damaged when the ysus is plugged?
          by Salvatore057
          Hi all,
          I am trying to fix my plasma TV which is not powering on due to damaged IGBTs. I have changed two igbts and 2 IC drivers on the zsus and also two igbts on the ysus.
          Now everytime I plugged the ZSUS and the YSUS boards to the power board, the two 30f124 IGBT on the ZSUS are damaged and the TV stays in standby mode. When I plug the ZSUS board alone the TV turns ON but I do not see pictures. When I plug the ZSUS board without the two 30f124 IGBTs and the YSUS board, the TV powers on with a picture.
          I am lost, should I change the YSUS board? Is the YSUS board damaging...

          LG 60PB6650 - Bad ZSUS (3.8v to YSUS instead of 16v)?
          by JDC
          Make and Model: LG 60PB6650-UA
          Issue: Turns on, no backlight, can hear static (no channel)

          I've been repairing TVs for a couple years now. I know how to use a multimeter for the most part and know how to test most components for shorts.

          The power board connects to the ZSUS and then connects to the YSUS. The ZSUS is where I believe the failure is because the 16v line is only 3.8V, even when I disconnect the ZSUS from the YSUS.

          This particular model seems to have a common failure with its YSUS. My goal earlier was to prove the YSUS was bad so I could...

          eax61319402 50PJ350 YSUS
          by zwarder
          Hi
          Had shorted YSUS

          Q24 RPJ63F3
          C726 cap
          Q11 K3667
          R528 & R529 2.2 ohm

          replaced all of these but still trips psu VS & VA are a bit low when ysus disconnected. IC301 does look a bit burnt however

          ZSUS is also good as far as I can tell

          Anyone could help me out on this one

          LG 42PC3 buffer output doesn't follow YSUS
          by legg
          LG42PC3D -UD originally with green lamp but no display or audio.
          Owner says was working, then went 'pop'.
          All 5V caps bulging. replaced.
          All PSU output voltages within spec but -Vy is low on YSUS.
          One of three parallel fets between SUS_OUT and SUS_DN is zenering,
          eventually shorts DG. Replaced all 3 - -Vy now OK.

          Y scan buffer test point does not follow YSUS output below -50V

          Note: This unit seems to expect YSUS output to park at -Vy in between
          drive signal pattern periods. A replacement drive signal board confirms this....
