    Samsung PS43D450 wont turn on

    Hi, this plasma TV flashes the front red LED 6 times at plug-in and then nothing (it does not repeat) however the LED does flicker in response to the remote but the set never powers up, no sound or picture. The relay clicks in on the first flash and on the second flash the screen briefly flashes random white lines.

    The green LED on the control board flashes 5 seconds on & 2 off and repeats which seems to indicate X or Y-main failure (or both) from what I have read in other threads but the symptom is exactly the same if I disconnect X-main or both (except the screen does not flash). Shouldn't the unit power up with sound but no picture?

    VA,VS & Vscan are all spot on (58,207,-185 as marked on panel) as screen flashes but then quickly drift down to <1v as control board sets VS_ON back to 0v

    I have removed both X-main and Y-main to check and there are no shorts on either (VA to GND, VS to GND or any FETs, SMD or through -hole)

    If I disconnect main board and short PS_ON to ground and jump pin 3&4 on control board for test pattern, no result, just 5-2 flash on control board as before.

    If only the main board is connected, it still flashes the front red LED 6 times.

    If I got sound but no picture with X & Y-main disconnected I would look at replacing them but should I be considering the control board first?

    Any help appreciated, thanks.

    Re: Samsung PS43D450 wont turn on

    Are there any cracks on the panel at all?
    They can be very small. Any crack will stop the TV working.

      Re: Samsung PS43D450 wont turn on

      Hi Tom. I have bought the TV locally for £10 hoping to repair so no big loss if I can't. There are no cracks on the panel. TBH, the previous owner says it has only been used about 10 times and 1 day it just wouldn't turn on. I believe that to be true as this set is in immaculate condition, it is "as new", not even a scratch on the plastic surround or speck of dust inside. The panel could still be bad but there is no physical indication of any damage. It does also briefly light up with noisy white lines the full width of the screen at the top shrinking towards the middle as it goes down the screen.

      What puzzles me is reading this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=31959 - others say that their main boards function as normal with X & Y boards disconnected. Although the front LED does flicker in response to the remote, there are no other usual signs of life - no start up sound (could have been disabled) - can't turn TV off with power button on remote - can't hear anything through speakers. I have tested all the regulators on the main board (6 ithink) and all have input & output voltages that seem correct to me, 1.8,2.5,3.3,5,9 & 12v.

      As they are cheap, I have ordered another control board to test. Just trying to decide whether to order main board now as well or wait as I don't really want to spend extra money if it does turn out to be X and/or Y boards...

      Thanks for your help. I will update this thread when I have new board(s).

      Merry Christmas!

        Update: received control board but unfortunately it didn't work at all (no led, nothing). Great service though as it was refunded immediately.

        With original control board back in I get the 5sec on - 2sec off again but as it was silent today I could hear a noticeable buzz from the Y-main at the same time the screen flickered before the control board shut the HV side down. I powered up the TV with the Y-buffer disconnected and there was a pop and now the Y-main is shorted (test points, several FETs and diodes)... X-main still "seems" OK (no shorts). Anyway, tested buffer (that wasn't connected when Y-main blew) and there are shorts between the 2 red markers on the picture below, all <10ohms, so it seems buffer was already dead... Wish i'd checked this before...

        Whether I killed the Y-main by powering it up without it's buffer board (although i'm certain I had already tried that the other week) or it had already been damaged by the fault on the buffer board, I don't know. but I have ordered both and hopefully that will solve the problem.

          Before you fit the replacement boards--Check Them for shorts first, particularly the IGBT's and FETS of Y-SUS and All the buffer-chips.

          Most TV parts suppliers Do Not Test in any way shape or form--Even though they Claim they do....

          Gotta larf at those that say--Came from a working TV. WHO in their right-mind strips down a perfectly working TV to sell bits with all the trouble of shipping and storage etc, These guys IMHO are Liars plain and simple and I never buy off any seller that claims this....

            I've stripped several working TVs for parts. Why sell a TV for $150 when you can get twice that in parts and not have to deal with people on Craigslist?

              Put me down as a liar as well, as most sets I repair end up being parted out.There is just no money selling S/hand sets anymore when you can buy new for no money. I pickup sets from customers homes do estimates for repairs , but much of the time they do not want to pay the repair cost ,so I end up with the set, I then repair it and part it out tested and working.Please do not tar everyone with the same brush Flocko

                  we are not saying that they would not sell ? its what you get for them,take a Samsung PS50Qxx I would be really lucky to see £100-125.00 for that, but part it out Y Sus ,Y buffers ,X Sus, control board, main, Stand,PDP, power board alone refurbished I get £75 .. You do the maths ? My costs to pickup and repair this type of set would start at around £100 even if it had a blown fuse.

                    I normally get £100-125 profit on them Q97's etc all of them ive sold have been at £200. It depends on the Tv. I sold a 51" Samsung 3d Plasma with a faulty line on the screen for £130 the other week. I normally never pay up to £100 on a Tv if it does come to that I will just keep it as side for a while.

                      regarding selling good used tested boards what percentage do you get returned via ebay? as a lot of people dont know how to diagnose a set and use our boards to do that and then return them well thats what i find anyway.

                        You are lucky, you would not sell them down south, sorry but no one would to pay anything like that much for a six -seven year old S/hand set let alone one with a defect.but there are lots of buyers for parts.At the moment I have three Panasonic TX-P42UT30 all up and running with stands /remotes, that are sat in my workshop. I sold one just before Christmas for £150 three that are left no takers ?But my SN boards for these sets are selling about one a week. Asda have a 60" vestal LED set in store for under £300 need I say more

                          I do get people telling me non of my Tvs wont sell for that price just because they want them cheaper, I fob them off. If you wait long enough they sell for what you want.

                            I have found less then 2% on sale returns. I use void tape over sockets on X/Y and buffer boards and tell the buyer to check the boards for shorts before removing void tape and fitting. as i know my boards are tested and good, This stops the returns if they short the board by fitting with other defective boards they have missed ( Y Sus taken out by bad buffers and the like) as for diagnoses of faults , there is only the one thing to blame, that is you-tube every one is now an expert, they go on there and watch a video and then they are TV repair men. when the replacement board you just sent them does not fix there set ,its has to be because your board is no good. I now ask for a engineers report on headed note paper as to the problem with the set and how it was diagnosed to be a fault with this board , and the problem with the board i sent Flocko

                              Thats a good percentage i was expecting more as yes as you say people do go of you tube videos etc admitidly some videos are great and are spot on with repairs i have used a fair few myself as im still learning how to repair tvs etc. A lot of people though i guess dont even know how to check for shorts etc so asking for a engineers report is a very good idea.I also guess it depends on what area you live in regarding selling tvs i know tom66 mention he had luck with selling tv to students etc so each area varies fair play to everyone selling either a working tv or a parted out tv its all profit after all and a good hobby/job.

                                  It does happen though as we all know im glad your terms are working out and you stick to them, ebay is very hit and miss with buying used boards at the minute as not many people take the time to test them correctly.

                                      I think a whole lot depends on Where you live. Posh place like London or the home-Counties, prolly wont sell a 5 year old set--At All.

                                          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.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          Assuming...

                                          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                                          Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                                          Upgrading a Samsung ue55nu7096u with logic board from an ue55ru7105k -- good idea?

                                          I hope this is the right forum to post in despite not technically being a repair, but still a question of swapping boards.

                                          I thought I'd explore the possibility to upgrade an existing working Samsung ue55nu7096u with the logic board (and power board if needed) of a newer model (ue55ru7105k) of the same size and appearance (and resolution). The reason being I'd like the extra inputs of that board including component in, an extra HDMI port and bluetooth. Its panel is broken so I have no use for the board otherwise.

                                          The models launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively....

                                          Hi all, I just want to share the repair of my 60PK550-UA TV set.

                                          The TV set was powering on, just no image. After verification, nothing wrong on the YSus or ZSus boards. Nothing wrong on the main board either.

                                          But I noticed that the LED was not flashing on the Logic Control Board. This is an EBR63450301. The LED is supposed to flash even with all the flat cables disconnected, with only the power cable attached.

                                          All the voltages measured at the electrolytic capacitors on the board were good. From top left to bottom right:
                                          C57: 3.30V
                                          C61:...
