Re: Stumped on Samsung PN60E530A3F

I have one on order. Shipped today, should be here by next Wednesday.

I went ahead and checked the buffer boards and they seem to be OK and I tried freezing the IC. No go.

Guess I will have to put it on hold until I get the IC in the mail. Will post results once I get the chip and have a chance to install it.

Thanks.

Re: Stumped on Samsung PN60E530A3F

Hi. I recently purchased one of these PN60E530's off Craigslist and am having the same problem as addressed in this thread.
I bought a package of the small blue capacitors ( 10uf 50v ) and changed the 3 that are referenced throughout this thread. Once I put the board back in the screen would flash at startup which was seemed to be progress as before nothing at all happened when I turned the set on. So I took the board out and replaced all of the small blue capacitors that I could get to. This time when I started the TV it came on but there...

Got this Sylvania 42" plasma off Craigslist for free. Took it home, took it apart and found 2 obviously bad capacitors, bulging tops, replaced them and 2 others in the same vicinity for good measure. Put it back together and it powered right up.

The problem I am experiencing is that when you press the on button the green led flashes for a few seconds, then goes steady but there is no image. If you shut the tv off and then immediately press the on button again the green led goes through the same flashing but when it goes steady there will be an image.Press the key again, image....

Hello from Maine. Joined forum to get answers fixing TV's. Started by repairing a bunch of the Hitachi projection TVs with the defective convergence chips. At one point everyone in my family had a 42" or higher Hitachi.
Have since moved on to LCD and Plasma. The caps part seems to be a straight-forward repair, it's the more involved issues I'll need help with. Absolutely no formal electronics training other that what I've been able to learn on the web.
I look forward to interacting with and learning from all...
