Re: Philips plasma display trouble 50PF9630A/37

I think your right. If only I could have tested them. I bought the boards from TV Parts Plus. [url]http://www.tvpartsplus.com[/url]

I'm going to part this tv out. If anyone needs parts for this I will have a good PDP, power supply, logic main, SSB board, X main, logic buffers upper and lower E,F,G, ambilight lamps and boards, audio board, filter, cables ect.

Thanks for your replies Tom.

Here is the follow-up,

I purchased the two Y buffer boards and installed them. Attached is a picture of what the screen looks like now. What's disturbing is that I re-installed my original boards and now I'm getting this same display. The display is worse than before.

I'm giving up on this plasma. It's to bad because I loved the ambilight feature.

I returned the boards and they gave me a full refund plus my shipping cost back to them.

I'd like this set to last a few more years. I understand it's an old tv, but I enjoy the ambilight feature. I have my heart set on the OLED technology, and hoping it will be more affordable by then.

It's worth the investment if all I have to do is replace the two y buffer boards. I will let you know how it turns out.

I read some where that if the horizontal lines were contained in the full height of the screen it was a problem in the logic board?

I've ordered both Y buffer boards, I will up date the post in a few days after I receive and install them.

Thanks for your reply,

Re: Philips plasma display trouble 50PF9630A/37

Is there a way to test these Y scan buffer boards to determine if they might be bad before I order replacements? There seems to be differences between these boards with different PBA Rev. numbers. See mine attached, Rev. A-2

Thank you,

We ordered cable internet switching from DSL. The cable company had to come out because they couldn't activate our new modem. The service technician stated he had to remove a filter on the street pole outside to activate our modem. Watching tv that night for approximately two hours the display trouble happened abruptly.

I've been working on it for a few days and doing the research. Downloaded and read the PDP 2006 Philips training guild, the chassis service manual, and the very helpful SDI PDP repair...
