    Element Plasma TV ELCHW402 Picture Flashing

    Hi All,

    I have a Insignia Plasma with the following video/picture symptoms.

    Symtoms
    -grainy snowy picture
    -4 inches or so missing vertically (right side) black strip
    -fades like lava lamp
    -picture flashes bright white a few times, then back to the beginning of symptom list

    Suspicion buffer boards?

    Any input would be appreciated.

    thanks in advance.

      Who made the base chassis?--It'll say on the back of the PDP.
      --Better give us some pics of the boards and the whole chassis...

      My guess is its a LG X3....

          Hmm--scrap that. You first list a plasma set--Then an LCD....

          So, in view of that--I'm Out!

                  Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
                  by KYBOSH
                  Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
                  No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
                  The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
                  But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

                  When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
                  Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
                  Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
                  Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...

                  LG55UB850V no picture or audio, just flashing LED's help please?
                  by IAmOrion
                  Hi members, I came across this forum when searching a fault on my LG 55UB850V TV.
                  Rather than hi-jack another members post/thread I thought I should start my own even though it's an almost identical issue.

                  The thread I refer to can be found here:

                  My boards are the same, and my issue it the same. I have NO Picture and NO Sound. Nothing. When first turning on the TV at the...

                  Trying to Save - LG 60PH6700 60-inch plasma HDTV - Powers ON but no picture
                  by KYBOSH
                  Saved this beast from the landfill this weekend.
                  Manfactured July 2013 in Mexico.

                  I love working on plasma TVs.
                  Its been a while but I was lucky enough to find 2 this week.

                  The TV powers on and stays on but no picture. Havent checked for sound yet.
                  No bulging caps although the insides are pretty dusty and the boards are discolored from many years of high heat.
                  Will start troubleshooting tonight.

                  Vizio m65-c1 picture flashing on and off on the screen
                  by maricm
                  HI all,
                  hope someone point to the possible issue before I start buying replacement parts.
                  Tv starts normal and responds to remote fine, PSU voltages mesured fine 19v was 18.9V under load and 19V with main board disconnected.
                  Backlight stays on all the time,
                  Sound works fine.
                  screen keeps changing form black to full picture in about 1sec intervals.
                  Picture looks fine with no visible artifacts.
                  I have disconnected backlights and flashlight test confirmed that picture is still doing the same.

                  Elitebooks (820, 840 etc. all gens) and those continuously flashing Power LED + flashing CapsLock LED
                  by STKR123
                  As the Elitebooks (820, 840 all gens) only show flashing Power LED and flashing CapsLock (continuously) + a very soft "ticking" noise near the DC Jack,
                  I wonder if re-flashing the BIOS might be of any use here.

                  As far as I understood, steady flashing either means insufficient power or a CPU/GPU/Motherboard issue. I use the original 65watt power supply.

                  There are so many threads out there, but most of the solutions involve flashing codes, which I dont have or claim that you MUST use the original power supply, do a hard reset, reseat the RAM, clean the RAM,...
