    Re: LG 50PS30 Image Problem

    Nice find!
    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

      Nice! Out of interest, what does the waveform look like now? Goes to show how useful a scope is for plasma repair!

        Sorry tom had this sitting out where it shouldn't have been so when I got it repaired I zipped it up and made the wife happy again. At least temporarily

          File this one under "NOT SO FAST !". The resistor has gone troppo again, or on it's way anyhow currently measuring in the mega ohms...

          Would it be fair to suggest there is too much current flowing through the resistor ? I have no idea how this circuit works or should work. I'll post a shot of that portion of the board, maybe someone has some ideas where I should be looking.

            There is a pair of diodes tied to the resistor, will have a look at them first.

              Re: LG 50PS30 Image Problem

              Here's a shot of the area in question. Now I'm as good as colour blind so my wife tells me the resistor is vvgg and my daughter tells me it could be rrgg. Only one can be right, which do you think it is ?

              If it is rrgg then it's 2.2ohm instead of 7.7ohm. Would putting an 11ohm resistor in place of a 2.2 ohm one be sure to cause it to go open ?

              And the two parallel diodes to the left of the resistor test about 0.3v forward and open in reverse.

                Re: LG 50PS30 Image Problem

                Thats rrgg, 2.2 ohm. Could be the reason, also I thing those are high wattage. what wattage did you use? I think the original is a 2 watt
                Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                  Re: LG 50PS30 Image Problem

                  Yeah, definitely red-red-gold-gold. 7.7 ohm (violet-violet-gold-gold) would be a very unusual value. It needs to be the right value. A big resistor like that is dissipating quite some power. An incorrect value will increase power dissipation by 5x.

                  What you can try doing is measuring the voltage across the resistor but you must use a good multimeter as a cheap one will pick up switching noises from the Y-sustain board. If you measure more than a volt or two, then there's a fault somewhere drawing much more current than it should.

                    Re: LG 50PS30 Image Problem

                    Ya I freak I had replaced it with the same 2 w rated resistor, just a different value thanks to my wife seeing violet over red - thanks for clearing up the value.

                    I had a look around the board again and touched up the top-side joints on two mosfets in the vicinity that looked iffy. Then because I hadn't yet read the latest posts here I bodged in a 10 ohm 5 watt resistor ! Running good again but will recheck the value to make sure even that one is not increasing.

                    Is there a problem running a higher wattage resistor, I mean is it meant to act as a fuse should something go wrong ?

                    Also, does that resistor set the base range for the set_up trim pot, meaning if I can still dial in a good pic would it be ok to leave it ?

                    Will read the voltage across it, tom, later this afternoon.

                      The resistor is probably important to set up some part of the set up circuit. An increased value is likely to cause excess power dissipation and the resistor will eventually fail as a result.

                        Re: LG 50PS30 Image Problem

                        0.288v across the resistor.

                        I ran it last night and this morning with an empty analog channel (snow) and everything appeared good. The set auto shuts off under "no input" condition but I just tried again with antenna and regular program content. As I was typing this response the resistor went from mildly warm to hot so I'll be swapping it for the correct value.

                        I guess you think the voltage across the resistor is ok but shouldn't I be concerned with current THROUGH it ?

                          Re: LG 50PS30 Image Problem

                          V=IR (ohms law)

                          So, I=V/R
                          (I=current, V=voltage, R=resistance)

                          This means that the voltage can be used to work out the current. The figures you have provided indicate 28mA which seems quite reasonable.

                          I would make sure to install a 2.2 ohm resistor in the place of the 10 ohm one. The resistor is probably used to reduce the dissipation in the transistor and may shape the set up wave slightly.

                            Excellent. (I knew ohm's law would be useful here but my theory is lacking...)

                            I've already harvested another resistor of the same rating and wattage. Will install tonight and update.

                            Wouldn't it be odd for just the resistor to fail ?

                              I have seen power resistors fail normally without obvious cause, and given the set otherwise works I'm not really surprised you can't find anything else that's bad.

                              While you're fiddling check the waveform again, would be good to see if it's looking normal or if something else is wrong.

                                Changed to a 2.2 ohm resistor, the voltage across it has gone down to 0.067v and I guess that means the current across it is unchanged.

                                Will get the scope on it and get a pic up.

                                  The current is 30.5mA, which is slightly higher, as expected.

                                    The resistor value is holding steady and the picture is still looking good. Here are the scope images I just took using the same scope values. I don't see any changes. Am I not capturing the wave properly ?

                                      You probably want to capture the end of the sustain pulse here, as this is a reset pulse...the other one may be something different, different plasma panels have different drive primitives.

                                        Well the set has been zipped up again but there does seem to be a difference between the wave you indicate and the earlier one I posted before the repair. Not much in the way of resolution but they do look different. For future reference, which part of the wave is the set_up ?

                                          The ramp from 0V to Vs, or 0V to a higher voltage than Vs on older sets (often called Vset or Vsetup, around 300-400V) is the set-up ramp.

                                          Plasma TVs past 2008-2009 or so use reduced-voltage Vset, keeping it below or equal to Vs reduces the cost of the Y-sustain driver circuit.

                                            Hisense H50N5300UK reboots when showing full red images

                                            Hi all! A bit of an interesting and unusual problem: as the the title suggests I have a Hisense H50N5300UK that reboots when showing fullscreen solid red images (and some other solid colours, but red generally causes the issue the fastest). I first came across the problem assuming it was an intermittent issue, but later lucked into finding out that a title sequence of a show I watch happened to trigger the reboot.

                                            What happens:
                                            • TV appears to operate normally, for an indefinite amount of time until a problem image appears
                                            • The problem image is displayed very briefly, then the
                                            ...

                                            i have a problem with thinkpad X1 carbon gen 2 "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021"
                                            The laptop was turned off because the MOSFET was not transmitting voltage. After checking it turned out that the gate pin on the MOSFET was the problem, because it was producing an inappropriate voltage. and it was discovered that the problem was with the Think engine, so I decided to reprint each pin, and finally the mosfet could work properly. However, there is another problem, even though the voltage has been supplied to the laptop, it still won't turn on, there isn't even an LED indicator. After double...
