    NEC PX42VP4A 2004 plasma repair

    hi gents this is my first post here i am currently working on the afore mentioned plasma tv, the problem is pretty straight forward, tv comes on but as soon as any signal (component,composite,VGA...etc) is applied it goes into standby mode after showing the images for 1-2 seconds, using the OSD does not cause it to go into standby mode, i have read several posts talking about the problem being the PSU or the input board. i have removed the back and looked for any bad caps..so far i have not found any leaking or bulging (except maybe one ..see pic) i have removed the PSU model# pkg-1953 and started testing the caps (in circut) all seem tobe behaving (nice gradual climb on the multimeter) except the 2 400v 220uf they are total closed or jumping all over the place (see pic) the big one (200v 1500uf) looks like it is starting to mushroom so i am going to replace it aswell, before i order the new caps i just thought i would see if anyone had any advice.

    thnx for any help

    I would start with a recap and then see where you are. That cap on the lower right corner of the board does look bad. They are Chemicons, right? I've seen a lot of Chemis fail without any visual indicator, and you can't accurately test them in circuit. I would just replace all the caps on that board and see where you are, even if that's not the root of the problem it should be done anyway, as those that aren't bulging now are probably not far behind.

        by ArMaaN376
        Hello,
        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...

        Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
        by jm1234
        Hi,
        anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
        It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
        I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
        I checked that board for any obvious faults...

        Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
        by KYBOSH
        Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
        No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
        The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
        But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

        When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
        Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
        Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
        Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...

        What parts can be salvaged from a plasma with a damaged display panel?
        by SurrealMustard
        I recently found myself the proud owner of a later-model Samsung plasma (the PN59D7000 for those keeping score at home) whose panel was, unfortunately, damaged in transport. I'm now preparing to part it out, but am curious as to whether or not any damage would have come to any of the components by attempting to power it up with the panel being broken. I read in one Avsforum thread (for whatever that's worth 😂) that the "scan driver boards" (by which I assume he means buffer boards) could be impacted by doing so. Is that actually the case? If so, since I don't intend on selling bad...
