    Swap a plasma panel to different manufacturer

    I'm certain the answer is no, but I wanted to ask. I have a customer that is determined to have me replace the plasma panel on his Samsung PN51E530AF which is cracked, with the panel on his Panasonic TC-P50x3. Panel number for the Panasonic is (MC127HU1400) Panel number on the Samsung is (S51FH-YD01, or.. S51FH-YB01) I have done almost every type of repair minus a panel swap. Panasonic has all bad boards, Samsung has bad panel, good internals. Possible?

    Yeah and while your at it you could help me assemble a flux capacitor to my SEAT Leon.

      I think the flux capacitor would be easier

        Well the first hurdle you're going to have is one is a 1080p TV and the other is a 720p TV.

        Mechanical dimensions won't fit, 51" vs 50".

        The next problem is the sustain boards won't connect up. Buffer connections will be different.

        The final issues you're going to have, if somehow the other issues are resolved, is that the controller won't know how to properly discharge this new panel, and it won't be able to display an image correctly.
        Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

            Once we get that flux capacitor into Hamie's chariot, we go back in time to before the screen cracked and change the event.

              Tell cust its just impossible to put a 720p in a 1080p set--I'm sure you can imagine Why this is not possible!

              Even if the same screen res and make but different models, be bloody near impossible and if you did manage somehow--it would never be right.

              Set makers change designs--even under same model-number, more times than you change your shorts, boards, panels etc are often completely incompatable....

              Like the 50" LG Ive got. 50PS3000. Got two, Same Model Number--Completely Different X-SUS, can't even screw it into the faulty set--NOTHING lines up.
              --Thats the SAME MAKE AND MODEL!

              Be easier to source the RIGHT panel from an otherwise buggered set....

                What parts can be salvaged from a plasma with a damaged display panel?
                by SurrealMustard
                I recently found myself the proud owner of a later-model Samsung plasma (the PN59D7000 for those keeping score at home) whose panel was, unfortunately, damaged in transport. I'm now preparing to part it out, but am curious as to whether or not any damage would have come to any of the components by attempting to power it up with the panel being broken. I read in one Avsforum thread (for whatever that's worth 😂) that the "scan driver boards" (by which I assume he means buffer boards) could be impacted by doing so. Is that actually the case? If so, since I don't intend on selling bad...

                Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
                by jm1234
                Hi,
                anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
                It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
                I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
                I checked that board for any obvious faults...

                Hi everyone!
                I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
                So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.

                Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
                For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several...

                Sony Panel Swap Experiment 65x900h with the panel from a 65x930d
                by r3vsEngIT
                65x900h with the panel from a 65x930d.

                900H: model yr 2020, Samsung panel
                930D: model yr 2016, Innolux panel

                spec wise the panels are the same. the drivers and tcons are obviously different but what made me want to give this a try is that the wiring diagrams for the data signals going into the tcon for each tv were nearly identical. there are only a couple pins that i am unsure about and that is what brings me here.

                the 930d has the DPS board where the 900h has none, however, if you follow the pins to the BM1 it would appear that the signals...

                Panasonic TH-50PX60U Plasma Shorted Panel Drivers
                by canadaboy25
                Hey guys, I have a Panasonic plasma here with two black rectangles in the display. As you can see from the picture, they affect the menus as well. Both black rectangles extend to exactly the center of the screen.

                I started with the bottom right black bar as it was closest to me on the desk. I found that the two 6.8 ohm resistors pictured were open circuit. I removed them to verify and they were blown. According to the schematic, these are for the 75V VDA rail.

                I then did a diode mode test on the load side of the resistor and sure enough there was a short. I disconnected...
