    Re: Samsung 50" Plasma PS50A556S2FXXU

    I wouldnt be surprised if this were a ground plane (digital or analog ground) carrying through from board to board - bad design if so. Ribbon cables were ideas spawned from the depts of HELL!

    Ok i had to get that out - I feel better now.

      You're exactly right - like replacing Y-buffers is a real PAIN getting those short flat cables into their ultra sensitive sockets. If cables are damaged, the entire plasma screen is garbage.

        Sorry not got back to you yet, been away.

        Il get a photo up asap, but to answer your question its just loads of tracks/lines within the cable. No damage on the other side.

          That is one you cannot criticize the design, it is very high number of conductors, and there is only so much room available.

          That damaged ribbon on this Z SUS is non-critical since this is all parallel connections.

          That tell you have problem either in logic board or mainboard if the menu is either overlaid or defective with bars running through the menu.

          Cheers, Wizard

            Well you said you replaced the "y-board" did you replace the y-sustain? or Y-buffer?

            if you havent replaced the buffer, it seems thats your issue and you replaced everything around it without replacing "it"

              y-board meaning the y-buffer, the most common fault.

              But I believe this faulty tv has a bad display. Iv shown the images before of the ghosty white effect, which is difficult to see in this first picture, but look at the following pictures, which show it more clearly once removing the power to the pcbs that run along the bottom of the tv....


              Ignore the vertical lines they are present due to disconnecting the bottom pcbs.



              Now whats seriously annoying is i sourced a display panel that has the same model number, that also had some pcbs attatched... great i thought! Untill it got here, has same model number yes but different pcbs and the mounting brackets on the back are different!!

                  If you replaced the upper buffer as Wizard said then you need to go after the y driver that feeds the buffers. I have only worked on two of these. (mosfet type). I think you have a problem with outputs feeding those buffers only because the whole buffer dropped out and replacing the buffer didn`t change anything. One pinstripe is pdp (ribbon cable failure/ damage) a bar is either bad buffer or no input to that buffer.

                  I have a hitachi with mosfet drivers. I think it`s time to check this theory out.
                  I wouldn`t give up just yet.

                    I just got a look at the last picture. Wow, that does not look good. What is goin on in the upper left corner?

                          Pending verification from Wizard, that would indicate a problem with the panel or the non-replaceable tapes running from the buffer to the panel itself.

                            Hello 👋 I have a tv with these red lines. I've tried cleaning and re-seating the ribbon cables but no luck! Tried all 4 on the LJ92-01485 board and on the bottom of the panel. Do you guys think it's the board?|

                            LCD SAMSUNG LE40A656A1CXXE - Vertical Lines on Half of The Screen?
                            by ItalianSat
                            Hello Everybody,

                            I have a 40 inch LCD SAMSUNG LE40A656A1CXXE. Its problem is that there are Vertical Lines on Right Half of The Screen.

                            Interestingly enough, when I move my mouse (in the case if connected to a PC) or when I am watching the TV, lines also move. At first appearance, I had thought that the problem might arose from loose vertical ribbons (COF), but when I opened up the TV for further investigations, I realized that the problem cannot be solved by touching them.

                            Moreover, I detached the T-CON board for a new round of investigation. I personally...

                            Samsung Plasma TV with vertical lines (model PN50B430P2D)
                            by afex
                            This is my 2nd broken TV I'm trying to fix and haven't been able to figure out... currently going without any working TVs so am hoping to be able to fix one..

                            This Samsung PN50B430P2D Plasma has this big block of vertical lines which will fade in shortly after turning the TV on. The lines will sometimes flicker a bit or fade in/out and sometimes it just stays present. The length of time it takes them to appear varies, sometimes its a few minutes and other times it appears immediately after powering on.

                            I have attached an image of the TV with these bars displaying....

                            Friend of mine has a Samsung Plasma panel with some vertical lines that are starting to form on the screen.....Ive never worked on a plasma panel, so Im not sure what to look for, would this typically be a main board issue, or something else?

                            Any help would be appreciated.....Please let me know.......
