Re: LG Plasma 50PQ60

One more quick question if you don't mind.. I don't suppose it would be possible to cut power to just the damaged segment of the screen? The bleed has started to spread quite violently! I'd rather just have a completely black dead section. I have the data disconnected but I'm guessing the power is applied to the entire panel simultaneously. Black tape time?

Very good, thanks so much for your guidance!

Re: LG Plasma 50PQ60

It would appear that my PS3 issue and crazy colors @ 1920x1080 on computer are attributed to simply having too long of an HDMI cable. I got a 6 footer and everything seems to work fine now, minus of course aforementioned defects.

Re: LG Plasma 50PQ60

Hooked the TV up to a computer, photo 1 shows what I get at 1920x1080. Display seems fine at 1360x768..

Photo 1 and 2 show the mis-firing pixels (amidst the wormhole from star trek the movie )

I tried the PS3 with all of the advanced display options turned off, to no avail. It only works via HDMI @ 480p and through composite @ 480p but nothing higher.

Are you aware of any potential fixes? I'm experienced in electronics repair, but not plasma TV's...

Again, thanks very much for your time!...

Hey thanks for taking the time to hear my tale of woe...

I've got an LG Plasma 50PQ60

1/3rd of the screen stopped functioning, though the backlight is ok.

I took it apart and was able to get most of the screen working by unplugging the very last vertical screen section. It was preventing the other 4 sections sharing the same board from working.

The first picture I've included shows the connector for the faulty screen section. The 2nd picture shows the connector of a properly functioning section. It would appear there is some burn residue...
