Re: SAMSUNG PS42C430A1 clicking on turn on

how to tell if its the x-main or y-main or y-buffers?
i currently don't have a multimeter.
if i disconnect the x-main what should i see?
if its the buffers how do i know?
is there a way without checking volts?

how can i know if the new y-main board i have is still ok?

Re: SAMSUNG PS42C430A1 clicking on turn on

something?

hello everybody.

i have the Samsung PS42C430A1 Plasma display.
one month ago it just went dead on me,
and since then when turning on the device there is a clicking noise, like
a switch on and off, it last about 10 seconds while the TV led is also blinking.
after that there is no reaction.

i searched the mighty internet and found out about the bad capacitors issue.
so i opened my TV up and checked for blown capacitors or anything unregular, all the capacitors looks fresh new, non is blown or leaking.
someone gave me an advise that even...
