    Re: LG 42PA4500 plasma TV not turning on

    I see one for as low as $33.45 with free ship on eBay. Maybe be better to just get a new one than try to fix it unless it's something easy like a blown fuse.

        LG 60PV450 Possible Bad YSUS Need help confirming Diagnosis
        by PlasMatt
        I have an LG plasma that after reading through a bunch of posts and doing some testing I believe has a bad YSUS board. The problem is that that doesn't make sense to me for some of the symptoms. The problem started yesterday. While watching a movie the TV just shut down like I pressed power. I have it hooked to a PC and use RS232 to turn it off and on so I thought maybe something had glitched there. I turned it back on and finished the movie with no problems. The same thing happened today so I checked logs to see if something in the control glitched and sent an off command but it didn't, After...

        Samsung Plasma PN51F5300 not turning on
        by DancingElectron
        Product: Samsung Plasma TV (PN51F5300)

        Initial symptoms:
        In-laws were downstairs watching tv when they heard a pop and the screen went out.
        When resetting power and turning on again, front light blinks red a few seconds and goes out: tv is otherwise unresponsive until power is cycled again.

        Initial investigation: Remove back from Plasma TV, armed with DMM.
        No obvious capacitor bulging on any visible boards.
        Power connected, turned on: green LED on main board repeats a pattern of short-long (1 second total) on, one second off. Repeats five times....

        LG Plasma 50PA5500. Sound, no picture !!
        by divingfe
        Sorry if this is too repetitive, or in the wrong place.
        I'm new, and having much the same problem. My LG50PA5500 TV has been working flawlessly since new. The other day, while in the midst of watching a broadcast DTV channel, the entire screen suddenly and silently went dark (no snaps, crackles or pops); sound, channel selection and inputs all work OK.
        I have checked connections and voltages from: stdby, pwr supply board fuses, psb output voltages to Zsus board and its fuse, output voltages from Zsus to Ysus and its fuse. All precisely normal!! I've also checked voltages to the...

        LG Plasma TV with no picture fault finding
        by brainbaby
        Hi friends,
        This is my first post in this forum and I hope I would fetch some of your valuable time

        Let me brief, long story short..
        I am working on an LG plasma TV model 42PQ30R.
        The fault is no display.
        The tv is turning on, the blue led is working, however there is no standby (red light), tv automatically going in run mode (i.e blue led)
        Note: sometimes gets off automatically but it happened only once or twice.

        I began my troubleshooting with the power supply, all fuse ok.
        power supply ok, getting the required panel voltages...

        Requesting Help For GA-970A-DS3 rev. 1.0, No Post code, no RSMRST# signal
        by AstutePauciloquent
        Hi everyone, over the past few months i have taken a deep dive into motherboard diagnostics and I love the challenge. Currently im trying to learn all about the signals that travel around the motherboard, such as frequencies, enable signals High and Low logic states etc. And i have been learning to read and using the Schematics for this board that i requested here on Badcaps forum, from a few months ago, this is such a great place for these.

        I’ve been working on a GA-970A-DS3 (rev. 1.0) that does not post. This motherboard has been my main learning board. I would like share...
