In my limited time working with TVs to date, I have been successful at saving or repairing, a sharp 70 aquos, samsung 61 rptv, sharp 42 lcd, and a sony 46 in lcd.
Recently, a 50 plasma was dropped off... recovered from recycle.
I thought I would give it a try but am somewhat scared by the potential for disaster if "things" are not done right (ie. powering with certain cards unplugged, shorts on cards causing issues for replacement card "pairs", etc).
Anyways, as usual, I don't move fast but one of my big concerns is:
Can a plasma be worked / repaired / power while it lies face down on the work area or with this be an issue?
Pictures in some of the PDF's posted in a few threads post on here appear to mostly show a "stand based set". Hence, my concern. It probably a silly concern but better safe than sorry is my usual approach.
Thanks for any guidance on this. The 2011 panasonic is in "shut down mode" with a solid led which from the pdf's indicates protection with the likely culprits being short ss / sc boards having issues with Vsus/Vda/P15V.... don't see any obvious screen cracks.
Not sure how fast I can work this 50 in. as I need a helper to move it to the work area.... but it would be good to get it to its "final diagnostic position" on a first help.
Thanks again for the guidance on this new learning journey.
