    Pioneer Kuro KRP-500 picture turns black

    This Pioneer Kuro KRP-500 plasma display has an intermittent issue in that it the picture turns black suddenly.
    Sound works all the time.
    Powerled is on all the time.
    This set has a separate control box which for a few years had a similair problem which was fixed by replacing a number of voltage regulators.
    Quite a common issue as fas as I know.
    Question is: are there more of the notorius voltage regulators also inside the display unit which should be replaced?
    Other advice?
    There are not a common cause which makes the issue. Can work for two days, or 30 minutes.
    Then a powercycle is needed (of the display unit) not the controlbox in order to make it start up picture again.

      I have a KRP-500M which I have had fixed for the 8 blue blinking lights. Recently it has been going black just for a split second from time to time. Kinda sounds like what your tv is doing. I'm fearing this is just the beginning and it might be getting worse in the future. Any luck fixing your issue?

          Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
          by Mgiffune
          I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

          I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and          ...

          Sony xbr-65x930e faded to black; now has backlight but no picture
          by kerberos137
          Hopefully someone can help me out. This tv was working perfectly until a few weeks ago. At some point, the TV just faded to black, but sound continued playing. It almost looked like smoke on the screen as it faded from the bottom left corner toward the top right. Took only a second or less, but wasn't instant. After restarting, it turned back on and worked fine for another day or two. Then it happened again more or less the same way, but in a slightly different direction, again with sound continuing. I thought it was working fine after another restart, but looked a bit dimmer than before. Then...

          Nec E557Q lines and fade to black picture FIXED
          by S14Sr20det
          Trash picked this tv from a local business, had a garbage image and would fade to black within second then cut off. It would get shorter and shorter every time.

          Narrowed it down to the right side of the panel by unplugging half the t con
          One side had a great picture the other was black and distorted still.

          Down to the buffer boards… found yet another set of two esd diode arrays. One leg had a 60 ohm short to ground and would get lower the more attempts made to turn the tv on.

          Soldering iron and some chip quick knocked both of them off and...

          LG 32LG3000 TV, three red light flashes, then the backlight turns on, but no picture
          by ItepK
          Hello everyone! I've found this television, and I began troubleshooting it.

          First, the television kept rapidly power cycling. I've warmed up the capacitors with a hairdryer, and after 3 dimmed red blinks, the backlight turned on, then turned dim, and no picture was present on the screen.

          I believed that this was caused by a bad power supply producing insufficent power (I've measured 3.5v on the 5.2v rail), so I've blindly recapped the board.

          After the recapping, all the voltages stableized, however, the issue in the title still remains.

          I could...

          T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
          by Tr0ll
          Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

          The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

          Original T-con:
          Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

          First replacement T-con:

          I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...
