42PD8600 No Picture-17MB15E-5 Ideas ?

[ReeceyBurger123]

I could pick this Tv up for free, its a FHP Plasma which switches on and the panel primes but there is no video being processed by the mainboard which is a Vestel shit. Just wondering if any one has any ideas before I collect it.

The susboards are working as the panel comes up full black, Im guessing the control board is fine and its the Vestel part at fault as usual lol. 17MB15 no Lvds fault maybe ? Any ideas are appreciated and I will decide if I go get this Tv. Cheers.

Yeah I suppose even if I sell it for £10 thats a profit chaps. This is also a real FHP PDP and
Sus boards in this set too have not seen one of them since I started fixing Tv's 2 years ago.

I will arrange a lift tomoz and let you know what I find probably something stupid being a Vestel Mb. Shame they did that, use a good Pdp and Psu but Vestel shite mainboard lol guess it was so much cheaper that way
