Re: Samsung Plasma (PN58A550) Intermittent Picture Dim/Fuzzy

Hi guys - so I ordered a new X-Main off eBay. Swapped out the one in my TV and the problem remains the same. Either this X-Main is also faulty in the exact same way (a possibility) or else the problem lies elsewhere. I noticed another thread on here where the problem was supposed to be the X-Main turned out to be the PSU.

Can anyone comment (based on the pictures and description above) whether they think the PSU could be the source of the problem? Any more help in diagnosing this malfunction? Your help is...

Re: Samsung Plasma (PN58A550) Intermittent Picture Dim/Fuzzy

Thanks for all your help. I checked the X-Main for bad joints but there's nothing I can see at eye level. Voltages appear to be within normal parameters. Given the cost was alright I bought an X-Main off of eBay. I'll swap it out when it arrives and see if the problem resolves.

Thanks again for the suggestions and help narrowing down the problem to a specific component.

Cheers!

Re: Samsung Plasma (PN58A550) Intermittent Picture Dim/Fuzzy

Here are some photos capturing the difference in picture quality when the TV is intermittently working at full strength and then when it is running dimly....

I have a Samsung PN58A550 plasma TV that I use rarely.
Recently, the picture quality has become very dim and fuzzy.
Another thread for a LCD TV called the quality "solarized" and I agree that is also a good description of what it looks like.

The weird thing is the TV will, rarely, pop back into full brightness/colour/quality but only briefly.

The problem is not input specific and it affects the menus as well as the input content.

The picture quality is similar to this: [url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=87712&d=1402011190[/url]...

Re: Help with Samsung S42AX-YD01

Hi - I have a very similar problem with my Samsung Plasma TV (PN58A550). I still have picture but the image quality is severely degraded (snowy, dim, hazy). It also is intermittent - every once in a while it comes in 100% brightness, colour, contrast, quality and then it'll snap back out to dim, hazy, snowy...

From what I've read, the ZSUS/X-Main is responsible for charging pixels and therefore could be the culprit - I just need some more direction. Am I right that this is the problem (Or is it the YSUS?) I've taken out the two boards...

Hello everyone - I am a new forum poster though I've frequently browsed BadCaps for information regarding my electronics. I hope I can find some help here regarding my TV.
