    Dark Bar across plasma?

    My in-laws tv started doing this today (see attachment.) TV is a LG Plasma 50PA4500-UM.

    Any ideas as to what board may have gone bad?

    BTW, this forum helped me fix my 60" plasma several years ago and it is still working today. Thank you.

    UPDATE** My sister-in-law told my wife she put it in power save mode and the problem went away. Still interested in anyone's thoughts. Thanks.

      That's really odd. Can't think of a hardware fault so must have been a software setting or bug, maybe like the menu getting stuck on the screen?
      Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

          Thanks, tom66. Yeah, I couldn't find anyone else having this particular problem when it came to plasmas.

          The power-save mode must have reset whatever went wrong. I'll post back if it returns.

              If it comes back Y board fault probably.

                      70LE660U dark cloud or black screen with sound.
                      by Rozp
                      Hello Everyone,

                      This is my first post so I will try to be as precise as possible without making this post too long winded. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the original problem but I included images of the TV internals.

                      I have a Sharp 70LE660U. The problem started a few months ago with the bottom row looking out of sync and was dark on the left side and then fading to transparent on the right side. Shortly after, a dark cloud appeared in the center of the screen. The dark cloud started small and shaded but the image was visible. It also affected the menu area....

                      Hello there i have a Sharp 80" LDC that has some dark spots in the middle of the screen, since its a 80 inch need another person so hang it on the wall or move it around, so i hope the collective wisdom can help me to determine what is wrong, I've been doing some research online and there is next to nothing about this TV, i tend to believe that the spots are due the back films/diffuser sheets, that are bit dirty, or perhaps one or two LEDs being burned, but what throws me off is that the dark spots are more noticeable when the image is bit dark like night scenes, and also noticeable when...

                      Schematic or datasheet for Plasma TV buffer chip
                      by Yanleb
                      Hi all,

                      I'm interested in understanding how a buffer board chip is working. I know there's about 90 outputs per chip to the plasma panel, but I'm more interested to know about the input pins. I guess that some of them are address pins, but I want to know more.

                      So far I've found nothing at all. I haven't found any datasheet about the various buffer chips, and I haven't found any schematic for the buffer board using them (Y Buffer Board in Samsung's terminology).

                      Any information will make me happy. It can be from any buffer chip or plasma TV manufacturer....

                      PANASONIC TX-P42X10Y Plasma TV damaged after a power spike
                      by tofik
                      Hello, I have an PANASONIC TX-P42X10Y Plasma TV, purchased new in 2009.
                      Unfortunately plasma is not working at all after a power spike. Standby LED is not even working.

                      I did some quick tests, YSUS + ZSUS MOSFETS and IGBT's are free from shorts, diodes on these modules seems to also be fine, buffer board is free from shorts as well.

                      Anyway I focused mainly on the PSU, did some voltage tests with the results as below, I attached them on the photo (also please see attached PDF with the SERVICE MANUAL for this model, page number 43).

                      I understand...
