maybe time to narrow the area your heating even more i have used a funnel in the past and blow the hot air down it that way you can heat individual parts up.

it's probably more than one group worn, and was probably still warm during testing. Making it seem like just that group.

This was mentioned and i agree.

Replace c2304. Right under the connector.

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

Should I still test heating with a funnel?

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

its up too you if you have the c2304 capacitor just replace it but it wont hurt testing with a funnel etc to narrow down faulty part

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

I would have to order the c2304 capacitor and I need Heavymachines to tell me which capacitor to order. However, before I do that, I will test again and try to only heat that capacitor and see. I feel I should just replace all of them in that group. Hate to order just one cap and pay shipping for that.

Or if I could use one of the capacitors I removed, would one of those work for c2304?

[vinceroger69]

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

well yes makes sence to order them all in one go as there all the same age etc but try heating stuff first as some ics etc are effected by heat too so at the minute your trying to narrow down what is at fault.

if its the same uf rating voltage can be higher but not lower.

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

Luckily they are the same uf and voltage. But before I do that I will do as you suggest and try to refine the heating. So you are saying heat all parts individually? i.e. the ICs, the white things and blue things with dots?

[vinceroger69]

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

i should of worded ics better well you have some voltage regulators and other devices maybe transistors and diodes etc (small black items) but really with the heat your just trying to narrow down the part it is probably going to be another capacitor but still worth checking other parts.

Ok thanks.

About the caps I took out, can I test to see those are ok to be sure? I think I have a voltmeter somewhere.

[vinceroger69]

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

not really unless you have a capatience/esr meter as best test both readings really.

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

Ok. First thing first....gonna do some heating.

Don't forget to use a funnel to totally surround the cap so when you blow heat onto it, it doesn't heat anything else up so you can better isolate the offending capacitor. You're very close to solving this problem. Sorry i been so busy at work fixing vinal cutters and computers, everybody wanted their stuff before the weekend.

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

ESR meter would make this easier. I have 2 of em one was 80bucks the other was 13 bucks...

[Boyd1966]

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

Should I buy an ESR meter? 13 bucks aint bad. Where? digikey?

Gonna test tomorrow morning btw.

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

this is what i use as tests capatience and esr and loads of other parts
