Can't find MainBoard replacement for Samsung Plasma PS42B430P2D ??

[zeureo]

Hi BadCaps, I hope someone can help me!!
My Samsung Plasma won't start up - no lights at all, no response with remote.
I have been able to do the self-test (unplug LVDS, jumper Test block etc.) and I successfully get the test colour scrolling thingy.

As far as I can tell, its my MainBoard which is faulty. However, I can't find the exact match for the part (assuming the number I'm quoting is correct), and I don't know how to tell which parts may be compatible.

Now, I don't need anything except the HDMI slots to be working; I don't care about the TV tuner (BTW I'm in Australia) - in case this helps for part compatibility. I just want a mainboard swap that allows me to power on TV with HDMI input from my PC.

I've attached a pic of the mainboard (with sticker). The relevant numbers are:
BN94-02834A (printed on sticker attached to mainboard)
BN41-01180A (Saturn 4 RTV_PDP - printed directly on mainboard)
Can anyone advise on compatible part numbers, and where to locate such a part?
Kind regards,
Zeureo

not really an economic option at $200 but at least confirms the part number

maybe

not sure how the cutouts in the casing will go but with exhange rates still over $100

might be easier just to keep trolling through ebay or gumtree for a dead tv with a good main

Thanks a bunch tw2005; as it happens, I've reflowed the MainBoard and it's working...for now. I suspect I'll have to get a new mainboard soon, so those websites have helped a lot. Very happy so spend ~$150 on a replacement board rather than fork out for a new TV at moment
