Re: 2009 LG 50ps60 Plasma picture problems

Cadillacman- I've looked over all the boards and I've yet to see a visibly bulging cap. I replaced a few bad caps on my sisters LCD tv a year ago and could definitely tell that they had shat the bed. I'll give it another look tomorrow before getting a replacement Z-board. Thanks for your advice, Cadillac. Hopefully i can trace down the source.

pb- your condescension and insolence won't be missed, as per your own admission that there are many people (more) knowledgeable than you are. Good riddance, since your sage advice contained...

Bill- Repeatedly tried to post pictures via the add attachment button per the almighty FAQ, however it didn't work, citing a security failure.
Sans pictures, i think the thread would have irritated more people and been widely a waste for all.
If a method of picture posting pisses you off, you should reevaluate your life or read through the headlines.

But I thank you for the technical advice

Took the heat sink off the X board to see if the TCP cables were visually damaged.

Since I heard an audible pop, I'm looking for obvious signs of failure.

So far i haven't found anything unless I'm overlooking something.

Please advise.

Is it possible that despite the audible pop and the subsequent shut down that this issue can be fixed by the board adjustments?

Howdy comrades

I was sitting watching my tv about 2 weeks ago. I heard a "pop" from the tv, then it shut down.

When i went to turn the TV back on, it surprisingly did so. However, the picture now has some horizontal scrolling and is littered with a static like fuzz.

The picture quality looks almost normal in dark scenes. During times where there are bright images shown, the effect is more apparent.

I've downloaded the manuals for the TV and searched around for people who have a similar problem, but i haven't found anything directly...
