Re: LG 60PV450 plasma burning/melting plastic on z-sustain, salvagable?

Last year I had pulled the z sus board to re-solder a couple pins that are notorious for going bad. When I re-installed it I left off one of the gold screws that hold the board in place. After turning it on I noticed a burning plastic smell. I took the back off and noticed the missing screw, as well as some melting on the upper contact of the z sus. I put the missing screw in and re started the TV and everything worked fine, no burning smell or anything. Fast forward a year and the burning smell came back, even...

Thanks everyone, I guess it's time to move onto LEDs

Hi, I have an LG 60PV450 plasma that had a perfect picture but started to smell like it was burning. Took back panel off and saw plastic was all melted on the Z-sustain part that connects to the ribbons cables. Well, now I have the ribbons cables disconnected from the board but as you can see in the pics, one is looking a little rough.

So I have two questions, first, can I even source one of these z-sustain boards anymore? If so, where? Everywhere I've looked just says discontinued. And secondly, is the ribbon cable still usable? I mean, before removing it from the board the TV...

I originally had the issue outlined in this thread - [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=34805"]Lg 60pv450 colors flashing[/URL] . I was able to fix it by re-soldering a couple joints on the ERC inductors as suggested by Tom. That worked fine for a few weeks, but this past week I started to notice the smell of burning plastic so I took the back off and discovered a part of the z-sustain sub board was indeed melting. Pic attached.
I've decided to just buy a new z-sustain board (my soldering was poor at best) but am having trouble detaching the copper ribbon in...

Ditto on the shoutout to Tom and others that first identified this issue. I did this fix and it worked for several weeks. However, my soldering was poor and now I'm having other issues that I will be attempting to start a new thread on.

Hi everyone, just creating a "hello" post so I can post a new thread for an issue I'm having. Personally not very savy with electronics so hoping to get some help.
