    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.

                      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....

                      LG 65UK6090PUA - picture dark
                      by Danstona
                      Was watching this set, and suddenly it went dark. Picture is still visible, just very dark. Tried checking all settings, adjusting brightness to 100% no change. Reset through menus, no change.
                      bought used boards from ebay (power and input boards) replaced with same results, changing brightness does seem to have a slight affect.. but not to normal visibility of picture.
                      I'm handy, fixed TVs before.. I can't see any issues with boards... hoping someone can point me in the right direction to properly diagnose. I don't believe the LEDs are caput, since the picture is on and equal...

                      Hi it looks like everything works don't know where to test except the 390v in the 2 capacitor in the hot side of the power supply and the weird 180v in the diodes in the cold side that should be discharged it is writin on the circuit no more you can read what is written on the circuit quite srrange color mixiing yellow and white
                      anyhow i couldn't t read anything else
                      the backlight is on strong and the screen does not get dark or very dark but no pictures
                      the mainborad feels a bit hott on the black part i test it to 52 degree's against 34 to 40 on the rest of it

                      by Javiercity
                      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...

                      I am having Samsung PS51E550 Plasma TV. While the TV was working, a crackling sound heard & video went off with audio still ON. After switching it off & ON, the red LED on TV blinks six times & then off.
                      Opened TV cover & observed foll
                      a) Green LED on the small PCB blinks at @5-6sec ON & off for 3-4 secs. Red LED on logic board ON
                      b)Vs & Va on power supply board raises momentarily to 209v & 58v resp & then drops.
                      c) Cold test on Y-main board shows all 3 pins of FGPF4536 IGBT short to Grnd.
                      How to confirm Y -Buffer board...
