    LG plasma 50PJ550 from dead to "blotchy image" PICS

    Had this lg50pj550 come in the door. Relays would just click when powered on. Power resistors on PS board no resistance among other things. Bought a brand new (not used) PS. Plugged it in with everything attached except the buffers on the Y. Tv powered up just fine. Logic board happily blinking etc....

    Next step was to power unit down unplugged and attach the Y buffers. This time (buffers attached) powered unit on. Within 3 seconds SNAP!! The surface mounted fuse on the Z sust. Blew!! Damn it!! Replaced fuse and now the only way the PS board would stay on is if the Y board was disconnected!! Ran with no buffers and the minute I attached the buffer all hell broke loose!!

    Ok......had to be a bad buffer?? Took out the Y and probably the Z because the Y powers the Z on this model!!


    Ordered a new Y, 2 buffers, and a new Z. Can't turn back now!! All used boards from so called broken panels but I understand how that can go??

    New boards, tv powers on but displays this blotchy image. No fixed lines they are just blotchy and random. Panel is fine, it was before. I also noticed there is zero volume regardless how loud I crank it via remote. Not sure if that offers some clues?? Only thing I can think of is a bad replacement buffer?? Although when I disconnect them one at a time the image changes and will cut the screen off upper or lower. All signs in the right direction. What next??

        Thanks for the suggestion!! I'm now back to square one. Ran it for 15 minutes in its discoloured condition, then I heard another snap!! Tv shutdown and PS board will now just click click over and over again. If I unhook the Y harness from the ps, the ps board stays on, but that's the only way.

        Replaced the Y, both buffers, ps, and z board all at the same time!! Had the blotchy image but now all toast!! Just going to have to bite the bullit on this one. As I refuse to order anymore boards

            Samsung UN48JU6700F (Curved) blotchy and faded image
            by kca
            I'm wondering if this type of display error (please see photos) can be fixed by replacing the LED strips or would that be an exercise in futility because the panel has been permanently altered.

            Notes: It turns on every time. Sound is good too. I have tried changing all the display settings, power cycling it, and resetting it to factory mode. Even went into the Service Menu but nothing worked to resolve these blotchy and faded images. Blotches do not move. The degree of image fade (dimness) always stays the same. Picked this tv up for free so I have no insight into if it was handled...

            Hitachi 32HAE2351 Vestel 17MB171 - Rotate Image
            Mainboard: VESTEL 17MB171 Chassis: VES315WNGB - 2D - N52
            The TV was stuck on the logo and I couldn't access the update menu.
            I couldn't find the firmware for the Hitachi 32HAE2351 and updated it with the Toshiba 32WA2063DG - Vestel 17MB171 firmware.
            The image result was good, but the image is inverted.
            The image rotation/mirror function doesn't exist in the Menu Server. I can't correct the image.
            Do you have the firmware for the Hitachi 32HAE2351 - Vestel 17MB171 motherboard or a solution to rotate the image in...

            Toshiba plasma 50WP16 wierd double image fault
            by piershs
            My 2001 Toshiba 50WP16 50" plasma TV has, after 20 years of trouble-free service, developed a wierd fault in the last 14 days during normal viewing - with no loud bang or smoke or any other excitement.

            Every 15-30 secs the right hand half of the image has a "glitch" for about 1 second before reverting to normal. The glitch has two forms and also depends on the aspect ratio setting (see photos):
            • 16:9 either a) a visible seam between LHS and RHS of impage or b) LHS image duplicated on RHS (photos 16x9)
            • 4x3 either a) no image on RHS or b) RHS image offset by 1/6th
            ...

            TV LG 50PA4500 Plasma : bad image noisy
            by Delired73
            Hello everyone,

            I have an issue and didn't find any solution by myself or on every forum about my LG plasma TV 50PA4500.

            Originaly the TV stopped to work and didn't want to turn ON again.

            After visual inspection, few transistors were broken, I tried to change them but some burned again, so I ordered on full new board. So, I changed the Yboard which was burned by a new one

            It now turns ON and the image and sound are present. But the image is very noisy and only visible when the room is in the dark.

            I check Vs and Va voltages...
