I think I fried a good ZSUS board on an LG plasma
Hi All, I have read a lot here but First time posting. I could use some help....To make a long story short, I have/had two LG 50PS60 TV'S and one died yesterday so to diagnose the problem I was swapping out boards and found out the hard way that ZSUS boards must be fully mounted with all screws to be grounded properly. I swapped the ZSUS board from the good TV and put it into the broken TV and all worked well so I removed it and put it back into the original TV that had no issues but stupidly I just put a couple screws in to start it up and test to make sure all cables are good, TV came on for 10 seconds and "snap" screen went dark with a redish background. The fuse did blow on the board and I have replaced it but now the TV will turn on for about 3 seconds and shut off. I am assuming I popped a resister or diode ??? Have I totally fried the board or is there something I can replace to repair the board. Thanks in advance.

Re: I think I fried a good ZSUS board on an LG plasma
They are very cheap on ebay. Make sure you get the correct one, as there are about 5 versions for this tv. I think it would be cheaper to just replace the board(s) than to buy all the things you blew up.allways put all screws back in everything!!! -
Re: I think I fried a good ZSUS board on an LG plasma
Yes unfortunately you have damaged the board without installing all of the screws. But the question is whether it is worth repairing or not. If you do not have the experience and knowledge to repair a Z-sustain board it is probably not worth doing especially if you can get a new board for relatively little as tvtimmy says... Chalk it down to a lesson learned I guess...Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: I think I fried a good ZSUS board on an LG plasma
Yeah, no kidding
I did purchase one one E-Bay this morning. Except for the fuse blown there is no signs of damage or burn marks on the board or any components. Being a technician in another trade I would like to try to figure out what else popped. I would hate it to be just one or two diodes or transistors ?? With the fuse blown the TV will stay on with a very dark red pixelated image, with the fuse replaced it shuts off after 3 seconds. Anyone have idea's ? I know it may be a time waster but for me its more for learning. Thx

I do have a couple LG boards that I can scavenge parts from if needed....And no I did not blow these one up...Lol

Post a pic of the boards installed in the back of your tv. I want to see what is what and how they are connected.Comment

can anyone point me in the right direction on what might have popped on the board ? ThxComment

Re: I think I fried a good ZSUS board on an LG plasma
You would need to check all of the IGBTs (transistors) on the heatsinks to see if any are shorted.
If they are shorted they will need replacing. You can remove them from the circuit to confirm.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: I think I fried a good ZSUS board on an LG plasma
Thanks for the reply. So I am assuming if I get 100% continuity through each pin with no resistance they are shorted ? any particular pin sequence or just check all 3 in any order ?
And are you talking about all the 45f122, rf2001 & 20nf20 transistors on the heat sinks ?Comment

Re: I think I fried a good ZSUS board on an LG plasma
Yes I'm talking about 45F122 and 20NF20. RF2001 does not need testing - it is a fast diode and unlikely to fail.
You should check all three combinations and they should all appear open circuit. A low value in any direction indicates a fault (confirm by removing the device and checking out of circuit.)
It is common for only a few parts to be bad, but when tested in circuit many can look bad.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: I think I fried a good ZSUS board on an LG plasma
do all the screws in also apply to testing of power supply board.Comment

Re: I think I fried a good ZSUS board on an LG plasma
You can only omit screws if you're willing to trace through the board and figure out which ones are really necessary. There are some boards also that use the heatsinks to pass the ground plane through. I have learned that lesson too when trying to run a board without the heatsink. Thankfully I had a bulb in place so it didn't blow up anything but it certainly didn't work.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.
Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.
I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.
The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.
With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic... -
I hope this is the right forum to post in despite not technically being a repair, but still a question of swapping boards.
I thought I'd explore the possibility to upgrade an existing working Samsung ue55nu7096u with the logic board (and power board if needed) of a newer model (ue55ru7105k) of the same size and appearance (and resolution). The reason being I'd like the extra inputs of that board including component in, an extra HDMI port and bluetooth. Its panel is broken so I have no use for the board otherwise.
The models launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively.... -
All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)- TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
- Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

Problem
This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....
