    Bad Panel/Cracked Screen

    Hi guys. I just wanted to know if it would be ok to test boards I repair in a plasma tv with a cracked screen. I will repair the board then install it in the TV. Its an XSUS board. Will it short out the board if the screen is cracked or the panel is bad?

      Well think of it like this, X and Y boards both apply two very different variating voltages across the electrodes in the panel. When you crack the screen it can short these electrodes together which if you try to power up the set can cause issues as you will get voltages where they should not be which can make things go bang.

      If its a light crack and the electrodes dont short out the gas might just creap out the panel and it wont be able to ignite it any more in which little damage will be done.

        Its a Samsung PN51D550C1FXZA, Plasma TV. Here is a pic of the crack on the screen. How would I go about testing the electrodes for shorts? I do get a loud buzzing sound if I have the YSUS board connected to the control board.

          As far as I know, these Samsungs are junk and you will fry Y or X, or both, powering it up with the panel disconnected. If the panel is shorted, you could fry them both if it is connected.

          Lose, lose. Cut your losses while you can.

            thanks guys. I got lucky and found this model tv for sale on kijiji for $200, so I bought it and it works. I will use this as a test jig.

            Also, I heard that there is a dummy load that can be built to test the boards, like they do at the factory. Does anyone use this or just a TV?

              What dummy load ? Who ever said that to test sustain boards is BS'ing. The boards still output a sustain voltage with or with out the panel connected and if they are damaged will likly blow up anway and you wont get the Sus voltages.

                    Not entirely false. You could attach a 100W bulb to the sustain output to load it. However, the plasma panel isn't anything like a bulb, as it is highly capacitive but has low inductance (whereas a bulb has very little capacitance but quite a lot of inductance)
