Re: Pioneer plasma PDP-6020FD won't turn on
Thanks! Although frustrating at times, I did learn a lot and I am happy I was able to fix it myself, which wouldn't have been possible without your help.
Unfortunately, now I need to start figuring out how to sell this beast. I got this from my mom after my dad passed away because she thought it was too big for her living room. Even though I know it is a very nice display, not using it for the past 9 months showed me I don't value having a TV this big or this nice, so I figure I should try to sell it and use the money elsewhere....

Re: Pioneer plasma PDP-6020FD won't turn on
It took a little bit to get the new Y-drive but I finally installed it last night and it is fixed!!! Thanks so much for all your help! Between my own procrastination and messing with a bad service tech, the whole process has taken almost 9 months! However, it was the tech mentioning this forum that brought me here, even though I couldn't find anything related to a Pioneer plasma that he said he was checking on in that time frame. Glad to finally get this behind me.Leave a comment:

Glad to hear the panel isn't suspect! I will replace the Y drive and report back.Leave a comment:

Re: Pioneer plasma PDP-6020FD won't turn on
Just checked VADR. It is 75V both with and without the Y drive plugged in.Leave a comment:

Re: Pioneer plasma PDP-6020FD won't turn on
I measured the voltages last night on the VSUS. With the Y drive plugged in, I saw ~20V for a second or so immediately after hitting the main power button and before the TV stopped powering up. The voltage then dropped consistently as the capacitors discharged. With the Y drive unplugged, it reached 208V before powering down. I did this a couple of times.Leave a comment:

Re: Pioneer plasma PDP-6020FD won't turn on
There is a VSUS on there. I tested that last night and the new attachment here shows where I touched the multimeter, on those circles that I pointed to in the picture. I figured those are test points.
I plugged in the TV and tried to turn it on. The TV did the sequence I described earlier (it stopped trying to power on and started showing two red blinks). THEN I touched the multimeter to test it. The value was low, below 20V, and falling consistently. Could the falling value be because the TV is not powered on and the capacitors...Leave a comment:

Tom, I really appreciate your help so far. Do you think I should proceed with replacing the Y drive or are there any other checks I should do?Leave a comment:

Re: Pioneer plasma PDP-6020FD won't turn on
Here's the pictures that I took last night. Most are self explanatory. The one labeled "power_damage" is a picture of the tops of the capacitors that I mentioned as having some damage from shipping.
The one labeled "power_test points" is where I tried to find those labels you mentioned. I couldn't find them. The two cables on the top are the ones that go to the Y and X drives. The only ones I found were the circles on the board labeled, VSUS, GND, VADR, V+12V, and V+17V (that one is at the very bottom...Leave a comment:

Re: Pioneer plasma PDP-6020FD won't turn on
Thanks so much! I was hoping you'd chime in. It was your thread that led me down the path of the unplugging/replugging tests I did last night. I can get more pictures but it will be tonight. I do have some pics, but only of the buffers. I thought I was missing something because I couldn't find any parts online for them. Now I know why. The Y drive is easy to find and a couple of places have them in the $60 range.
Are there any particular pictures you would like to see? I will also get some pictures of the damage on the...Leave a comment:

Pioneer plasma PDP-6020FD won't turn on
I've got a 60" Pioneer plasma PDP-6020FD that won't turn on. It clicks like it is trying to power up, but then stops and shows a sequence of two blinking red lights. It doesn't get to the point of displaying a picture or sound. Some preliminary research led me to believe it was a power supply, so I bought a new one in hopes that simply changing that would fix the problem and avoid having to lug it to a repair shop. Unfortunately, the "new" power supply didn't make any difference. However, I had doubts about the power supply because it wasn't packaged very well. The tops of the capacitors... -
