Re: Samsung Plasma - PN58C540G3FXZC



Hi tom

I was able to check out the panel and to the best of my ability did not see anything that would indicate a problem with it...

Re: Samsung Plasma - PN58C540G3FXZC

I work 12hr shifts and was unable to look at the tv the other night. I work all weekend but I hope I can get some time to check out what was suggested to me.

I am fairly new to a multimeter. What is the safest way to test the pins for shorts?

I have replaced both y and x boards with the same results. Would that not eliminate the possible short I would be testing for?

What does SC and SS stand for so I know which boards I'm disconnecting

Re: Samsung Plasma - PN58C540G3FXZC

Ok that's what I thought. I will check it out when I get home from work later tonight

Thanks for the reply

When you say the panel are you referring to the front of the tv? Or in behind the chassis. Meaning I must first remove all the boards correct? Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, this entire thing has been a learning curve for me....

Hello, hopefully someone with greater knowledge than myself can fix my tv problem.

Samsung Plasma - PN58C540G3FXZC

As like so many others on here, I turned my TV on one morning and saw a faint flash of white noise, like what you would see with no source connected to the antenna portion. However, it did not cover the entire screen and each time I would turn the tv on it would flash in a different area. Once it had flashed, seconds after turning it on the screen goes blank. I disconnected all sources except my BluRay player, as it was the most reliable and I could get...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, my name is Jason and I'm from Simcoe, Ontario Canada.

I've been plagued by a samsung plasma tv that has gone black with audio only. I have spent countless hrs reading different peoples posts and have come to realize the tv I thought I had researched is just as bad as the rest. I will post a new thread once I have full access with a more detail list of my problems and hopefully one of you more educated users on tv repairs can shed some light for me.

Look forward to chatting with you all
