Re: Problem with Samsung ps43d490 PDP

Hi Tom
Have just noticed a very small tear in what you call the orange fpc data connection cable. It seems to expand over four threads\wires. If this is the prob can these be renewed or repaired?
Cheers

Re: Problem with Samsung ps43d490 PDP

Hi Tom
Decided to bite the bullet and bought a used buffer board off ebay. When I fitted it I discovered that it was faulty and had no picture at all. I fitted the old one back on and instead of having one thin black line I now had two thicker (two or three pixels) black lines about 4 inches apart.
I decided to disconnect the second from bottom ribbon connector on the buffer board and found that the screen showed a thick four inch black band across the screen. I had marked where the two black lines were on the frame and they correspond...

Seems to be one complete row of pixels.. Hhmm! dont really want to spend any more money on it unless I was certain it was going to fix it.
Thanks for your help
Sab

Re: Problem with Samsung ps43d490 PDP

Not while it was on but a couple of mins later...surely not! Not after all my hard work

Re: Problem with Samsung ps43d490 PDP

Ok scratch that last message. Silly me left the connector between the bottom two buffers disconnected
Anyway now I have a fine black line going from left to right all the way across the screen. About two thirds the way down...Any suggestions?
Cheers
