Re: Samsung PN50C430 Plasma TV distorted image

Thanks for the replies! This could take a while. The TV is a 2 hour drive from here and I don't get up there every weekend. Looking on ShopJimmy, and for the cost of a main board, I would be willing to chance buying one if it looks like that's where the problem is. There are several part numbers so I would have to get my Dad to pull the back off and get the numbers first.
I'll look up the control board tests ReeceyBurger, will that prove the control board good or bad by itself?

Hi all I have attached a couple of short videos of my parents Samsung PN50C430A1D. I can't really describe the distortion so I was hoping that someone here has seen it before and can help narrow it down to a particular board. The menus and the test screen look mostly ok. Anything from the inputs looks distorted. Tried two different devices on HDMI, AV and component video inputs, all distorted.
I've been working some long hours lately so don't think I have abandoned the thread if I don't respond for a while. [URL="https://youtu.be/5Ojj1-jG9H0"]https://youtu.be/5Ojj1-jG9H0[/URL]...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I have read some of the intros and I have to admit, I am not one of you! I am the go-to guy for most of my family so hopefully that counts for something. I'm an Industrial Mechanic / Millwright, have some electronics experience and am quite interested in hobby CNC. That's not why I'm here today though. My parent's plasma tv is acting up and like some others here, I'm looking for a quick fix. Hopefully by posting a video of the symptom that I can't describe and finding that it's definitely ????? board.
