    Pioneer 600M sparkles.

    Hello BadCap members,

    I have been lurking the forums and found so good info here. I have an issue with my Pioneer plasma. I started noticing some “green sparkles” and plasma cell lag. It's mostly on darker scenes. I have read about the Vs/Va voltages but can't seem to find the so called sticker inside that states the voltage setting. This is a ISF calibrated set and planning on selling it once I can get it corrected as I have already purchased a OLED. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thx,
    Dan

      The manual is available for download


      Page 50 gives some of the voltages that would be worth checking.

      Willing to help but I'm no expert.

          Thank you for finding voltage values. So I need to check reading and adjust potentiometers to correct voltages. Anyone have info on adjusting service menu settings on these plasmas?

              Just checked my voltages, everything was within spec no fluctuations.

                  Did you "Reset" the TV to cure "red tint" artefacts?

                      No not yet, I'm reading about the “reset” on AVS, seems to be the cure for a lot of issues. I don't really have a red tint but seems the sparkles and red tint are related. You have any experience with the reset?

                      Thx

                                  Do not reset your set.

                                      Yes don’t think I will do complete reset, looking at checking voltage settings within the service menu, my rs232 cable comes today. Trying to figure out which ribbon cable to clean.

                                          Voltage settings is the way to approach it. Don't reset ANYTHING. You will throw your config out of sync with the panel, it may fix problems initially, but it will just get worse over time and you will lose the sync that the control board has with the panel.

                                          What I would recommend is getting the service manual for your set and following the provided guidelines for eliminating maldischarge (usually "Determining the VOFS/VYNOFS1,3,4 point when replacing panel", there are other terms, I am familiar with the PDP-LX5090 panel.)

                                          I have tweaked two PDP-LX5090 panels to fix various issues...they are excellent panels, and have an extraordinary range over which they can be adjusted for best performance.

                                              the flat ribbons from main or crtl board. i also plug and unplug the power connections a couple times anyways to help make a clean connection.

                                              i had sparkles on a Panasonic plasma and cleaned the connections then they went away.

                                                  by Lintesir
                                                  My parents' Panasonic P42S30 died recently, and they asked me to have a look at it. I was able to identify the SN-board as the culprit, as it was shorted. After removing Q401, Q402, Q421 and Q422 the short was gone, so I replaced these components and that got the TV working again. However, when testing the tv a bit, I noticed quite bad pinkish sparkles on some colors. For instance the greyish bar on this forum seems to trigger it quite badly. I made a fullscreen test picture with only that color, with the below result.

                                                  There is about a 5cm high region at the top without any sparkles,...

                                                  Hello out there in Badcap land.

                                                  I have a Pioneer plasma that gave me the dreaded 8 red blink and shutdown, I have been trying to trace the failure points. On my last inspection while replacing a Y Sustain Board I noticed on the original and replacement board some missing solder, the points of connection
                                                  are from the Digital Address Board and the Buffer Boards. I have included the pictures, should I resolder these points or are they unsoldered intentionally? Any help would be much appreciated.

                                                  Thank you

                                                  We bought this Panasonic plasma monitor 16 years ago and it has never been serviced, so all parts are original, and the unit has never malfunctioned -- until about a month ago. The system fails to power on. At first (a month ago) this happened rarely. We learned to unplug for a few minutes to drain the caps, then re-plug, and the monitor would start normally. Now, we plug-in, turn on the main power switch, and the...

                                                  Hi,

                                                  I have a Panasonic TX-P42S20E plasma TV that lately has been showing flashing pink pixels when the picture is bright (similar to picture 5 in this post), primarily on the top half but to a lesser degree in the buttom half.

                                                  I've tried to change VSUS to high but it made the issue even worse so changed it back.

                                                  However, this is all a backstory as yesterday after being on for about 5 minutes the screen turned black. I've tried to hard reset (hold power on tv for 30 sec).

                                                  When turned on the green LED flashes 6 times and then stays on continously....

                                                  I'm starting to re-cap a Pioneer PL-X9 turntable, specifically the motor control board, because although everything tests out OK according to the service manual, the speed wavers slightly despite the quartz lock light remaining on. So, I've decided to re-cap that board since it's the cheapest next step...

                                                  Pioneer's passive component naming convention is clear to me. For example, CSZA R22M 35 is tantalum, radial leads, 0.22uF, 20%, 35V.

                                                  BUT there are two capacitors on the board which have actual Pioneer part numbers: PCL-042. I can tell they are 0.1uF, 16V but don't...
