Re: Samsung Plasma PN58B650 Power Cycle

Thanks a lot for your response! I will check out the links you provided. I had just received the tv for free from my dad before I my previous post and had not done much research on the parts. Once I realized that the individual boards weren't all that expensive, I was thinking about ordering what ever I could find and throwing it in there. A couple hundred bucks for a 58" in tv is still a pretty good deal! But now I won't feel like it's unnecessary! Thanks again!

Re: Samsung Plasma PN58B650 Power Cycle

I know this is an old post, but did you ever figure out the issue? I'm having the exact issue (minus the burning smell and smoke). Seems like all of the other threads troubleshooting the power cycling ends with a positive pattern test and (probably) a bad main board. Not sure what the next steps would be if the pattern test fails.
