    Lg 50PA5500 repaired?

    Hello Forum,
    I would like some information / opinions on my Lg 50PA5500 plasma flat screen tv.
    I purchased the tv as a dead set. It came with no base or wall mount. I was able to get the set working by replacing the Y-sus and upper buffer board.
    I have read several comments about this model having buffer board ribbon failure problems somewhere along the edge of the set. So far I have no indication that there is a problem in this area.
    So here is my thoughts for what they are worth,
    1st: if it's not broke, DON'T FIX IT
    2nd: attempt to repair the issue that causes the ribbon failure (need a good picture identifying that if possible)
    One last comment / question. Is there any information out there as to whether the ribbon failure could be provoked by using wall mount rather than a stand?
    thanks for any input / thoughts.

      One quick update. After getting the TV mounted and hooked up to a signal with a good quality picture I see that there is a very thin black line that goes all the way across the screen about 2 inches below the top. That is the only thing that keeps it from being a 100% perfect picture.
      Anyone with suggestions of what would be the cause/problem?
      thanks,
      firefighterfox

          Reseat the cables to your buffer that controls the top of your TV. You can get a black line from a defect in a buffer IC or a bad connection on one of the pins on the ribbon cable.

              "If its not broke dont fix it" That saying is the biggest load of crap ever. This Tv has a common issue with the plastic on the frame damaging the buffer cable ! Is its a common fault so why leave it ? I dont get it, likely the buffer ribbon is damaged which normally is not fixable sorry

                  TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
                  by howardc64
                  All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
                  • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
                  • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

                  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....

                  T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
                  by Tr0ll
                  Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                  The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                  Original T-con:
                  Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                  First replacement T-con:

                  I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                  Schematic or datasheet for Plasma TV buffer chip
                  by Yanleb
                  Hi all,

                  I'm interested in understanding how a buffer board chip is working. I know there's about 90 outputs per chip to the plasma panel, but I'm more interested to know about the input pins. I guess that some of them are address pins, but I want to know more.

                  So far I've found nothing at all. I haven't found any datasheet about the various buffer chips, and I haven't found any schematic for the buffer board using them (Y Buffer Board in Samsung's terminology).

                  Any information will make me happy. It can be from any buffer chip or plasma TV manufacturer....

                  Panasonic Plasma TC-P50ST30 Horizontal Black Lines
                  by busted&disgusted
                  I have a 2011 Panasonic Plasma HD 3D Viera model notorious for the SC board failure. As per a Google for the dreaded 14 blink code I discovered from info on this forum about isolating suspect boards by disconnecting the power cables and using an ohmmeter on the power terminals and this led me to the SC board. I had it repaired by a nearby technician who replaced the shorted transistors and before I got the board back I wondered if any of the buffer boards are damaged and a YouTube showed how to test these by using the ohmmeter and removing the copper colored ribbon cables to the display and use...
