Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
I recently put the TV back up on the wall and when i first turned it on i was a little disheartened as it looked just as bad if not worse when i first fired it up.
however after just a few minutes i dont see any sparkles at all anymore from my viewing distance.
The TV looks great compared to what it did before. I adjusted many of the pots trying to get the picture right and it finally came out ok. I'm sure it wont last forever but in the meantime (superbowl coming up) it looks good.

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
oh .. haha ..
and one more question.
There appear to be places to hook computer fans to the power supply board .. they are even labeled "fan"
since heat is a big concern can i install fans into this thing? Has anyone done this type of install before?Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
so i took off the smaller board that has the vscan adjust on it (its the one i've bought a replacement for)
i'm not showing any obvious signs of issues. am i running a risk by replacing this board and not the main power supply board as well?
just wondering if i should wait to get the replacement in and install it or if i should go ahead and order the main power supply board as well ... its the board that has the slightly suspect cap on it.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
i'll replace the board that i think i fried ... then readjust all voltages ...
and i guess hang the TV backup...
i might replace the Y SUS and buffer boards in the next few months and we'll see what happens then.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
One more quesiton.
does anyone know the difference between the part #s on these samsung boards?
for instance.
each board has a PCB and PBA # and most also have a BN96 #.
When looking for parts it appears that depending on which # you use, you can get a different price on the same website as if there are board differences.
anyone know which # i should use for consistancy sake and to ensure that the board fit correctly?
i dont want to buy the wrong...Leave a comment:

Tom66 if you find a solution to this issue and it works for mine, i'm going to owe you something big

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
i checked all the voltages that i can measure and except for the varying voltage of the vscan (WILD variance) and Vs (mild variance) all the other voltages are pretty spot on ...
I'm hoping the Vs variance is due to the smaller power board and not a sign of it being out as well.
only time will tell, unless i can test something else that will give me a specific board to replace.
it stands to reason that seeing a spark shoot out of a specific part on a specific board would mean that...Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
yeah i think the screwdriver touched something metal along with the pot.
i went ahead and ordered the smaller power board .. it was only 12 bucks .. if that works, great, if not hopefully we can figure something else out.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
if i replace the smaller board that has the adjustments on it should i replace the larger power supply board too?
i can get both boards for less than 100 shipped.
i wish i could tell for sure that it was just the smaller board and not the larger power supply board as well.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
i take that back .. the va and vs are fluctuating too .. just nowhere near as much as the vscanLeave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
i dont really hear a buzzing, but the spark shot directly out of the vscan adjustment pot ..
i'm searching for burnt/charred marks and i'm not seeing anything.
since the spark shot straight out of the vscan test pot i'd say its a safe bet that board is shot?
the other voltages appear to be stable .. its just the vscan oneLeave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
i've turned the vscan all the way up and down .. the voltage doesnt really change the pattern, but it does jump between 200 and 230 with a few points in between that match up to the flashing on the screen. does that mean this board is shot, since the voltage isnt stable anymore?Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
went back to the vscan ... adjusted it a bit and then touched it again ..
sparks flew
now i have this crazy flashing pattern on my TV.
guess i'll be replacing a board afterall.

please tell me i can test a few voltages somewhere and determine exactly what i need to replace?!
superbowl is only a few weeks away and i'm hosting a party

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
i moved the Ve all the way to 65 and hardly anything changed ... moved it back to 115 though, lol
i guess i can live with this, but was hoping to be able to find out which board was causing it so i can replace it.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
haha .. ok i found the Ve ... its dead on at 115 which is where the sticker says it should be.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
wait .. i found the Ve adjust, but i cant find the test location .. one sec ..Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
the YFR is on the daughter board, not the Ve ... i cant find the Ve anywhere ...Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
i lowered the Vs and watched the picture as i did it and it got way worse ...
are you saying i should lower the Vs to that range and then readjust the YFR?Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50inch Plasma - colored sparkles (videos in thread)
are you guys referring to the big brown cap on the power board?
it slightly looks like its bowing out a hair, but it could just be me ... if it is bulging is HARD to tell for sure ...Leave a comment:
