Re: Samsung Plasma PS43E450A1M

Have you made a start checking any of the voltages. Can you post photo's of your circuit boards and their layout. Do you have a meter at hand? Have you search the forum to see if this has been discussed before?

I would start by Google"ing" your model number. Look for the same problem, maybe it's on this site. Then I would take pictures of all the circuit boards inside the tv. Then I would wait for a responce, all of the PRO's are busy most of the time. When they get some free time they are willing to answer questions. Have a multi-meter handy to check voltages and everything they ask. Remember to please be patient. Help them help you, me, and everybody that watches this site.

I dunno--You got two sets on the go, this and a U20 Panasonic on another thread......

--You KNOW the format of the forum--yet you are too lazy to tell us the important info that you should have in the first post!--that you well know we need!

Its like saying 'My car stopped, Any ideas?'

So the easy bit is to check the voltages it says on the back panel are up.

Voltages will probably only appear at initial start up then fall back to 0

You'll need to check them quickly.
