    LG 50PT350 bad lower y buffer

    Hello everyone,
    Recently received an older lg plasma for free to fix.
    Symptoms - no picture but i have sound. I hear the click of the relay, and the hum from the ysus.

    What i've tried - i remove the ysus buffers one by one, when i removed the lower buffer i get picture on the top half of the screen. Removing the top buffer and leaving the bottom still gives me a black screen.
    i tested the va/vs at the psu and they're within spec as outlined by the sticker.
    I tested the lower buffer checking continuity between the white connector - see attached pics - on the buffer and the connectors that attach to the fat wide ribbons on the side. I get continuity at one of the ICs.... so im assuming the lower buffer is toast.

    Im uncertain how to proceed to test to check if the damage spreads to the the main ysus itself or if its localized to the buffer.. There has to be a reason why that lower buffer is toast....i'd hate to buy another lower buffer, install it then blow it again...
    any help would be appreciated

    It does look as though it would probably only require the lower buffer to be replaced. Having half a screen displayed would suggest the necessary voltages are OK.
    See what others more experience forum members have to say.
    Willing to help but I'm no expert.

        Hey guys, so i replaced the Ysus board...the issues still persist (still waiting on a lower buffer).
        However i tried to measure the VSC Vy and im not getting any readings.... I have it set to DC v...but i get no reading when i measure across the resistor for either the vy and vsc on the Ysus

        Am i just measuring it wrong?

          If the buffer board is removed You won't be able to measure the VSC voltage across the resistor, If I remember, you might be able to measure a voltage at the VSC point to ground but without the buffer board there is no voltage drop across the VSC test points (resistor).

            Ahh good to know. Im assuming the same would apply if your board is pooched.
            Ill re-measure once the new board comes in hopefully that resolves the issue

              TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
              by howardc64
              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....

              LG 42PC3 buffer output doesn't follow YSUS
              by legg
              LG42PC3D -UD originally with green lamp but no display or audio.
              Owner says was working, then went 'pop'.
              All 5V caps bulging. replaced.
              All PSU output voltages within spec but -Vy is low on YSUS.
              One of three parallel fets between SUS_OUT and SUS_DN is zenering,
              eventually shorts DG. Replaced all 3 - -Vy now OK.

              Y scan buffer test point does not follow YSUS output below -50V

              Note: This unit seems to expect YSUS output to park at -Vy in between
              drive signal pattern periods. A replacement drive signal board confirms this....

              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....

              No picture LG model 50PT350
              by Fripacks
              Hi guys,
              I have problems no picture with LG model 50PT350, first of all, I change the 2 buffer boards who was no good, the TV working 2 weeks and today same problem, I check and I found Zsus board defect now, I change it for a new one and no picture, I check VS VA and 5 volts , all this voltage are there, I disconnect the upper buffer board, no picture, I disconnect the lower buffer board, no picture, what I have to check now?...
