Re: LG 42PC3D - dim picture, black jaggies?

Just to bring some closure to this...

It was a failure. Today, I give up.

I found alibaba.com where I could get the IPM for $29 shipped to me here in Canada. So I took the chance.

Desoldering was a bear. I would not recommend this for any other "less experienced" folks like myself. I persisted and finally got all the bits off today, and the holes cleared. The $70 replacement board would be a MUCH less painful, less stressful, less work, option for anyone else with this issue.

Thanks, I posted too soon, I should have done some more digging first.
The part number for mine is actually written on the SIDE of the heat sink, so I know that I've got a YPPD-J018E in there. I also came across [URL="http://blog.coppelltvrepair.com/2012/03/yppd-j018e-yppd-j018c-stk795-820-stk795.html"]a reference from Coppell[/URL] TV Repair (one of the vendors you link to) that a STK795-820 is an acceptable alternative. (and possibly STK795-821, though they don't use that one themselves.)

Re: LG 42PC3D - dim picture, black jaggies?



Well, I can desolder, at least it's worth a try. I like your $20 memory. Any suggestions where? I found one place that wants $48 for a kit consisting of the IPM and a fuse... um, no, then I'd just spend $20 more and get the whole thing. I have to keep looking...

thanks again!...

Re: LG 42PC3D - dim picture, black jaggies?



Thanks for the confirmation, Tom.
Looks like $68 and up for a new board (googled and found that at shopjimmy.com)

Anyone in Canada (like I am) got any recommendations on places to order assemblies, or is it best to just hop the border and shop in the USA?...

Re: LG 42PC3D - dim picture, black jaggies?

PS: somewhere else, someone mentioned fixing up a TV that only had so-many hundred hours on it. I've been all through the menu and could not find anywhere to check that. Anyone know if this value is hidden in one of the LG menus somewhere for me to find?

thanks

Good afternoon, folks.

I picked up a freebie LG 42" Plasma TV from a friend. I've repaired a few "dead" LCD monitors with bad capacitors, and thought I'd give a go to fixing this beast up also. However, it clearly isn't a simple bad cap issue in this instance!

Some googling lead me to this forum.

My issue is that the tv works, and there is a picture, but the picture is quite dim. It is a lot like the issue discussed in this thread: [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=9861&highlight=42pc3d"]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=9861&highlight=42pc3d[/URL]....
