Re: HPN 5039 Samsung Plasma. Dark picture with pink snowy fuzz. Pics included

I gotcha thanks for the tips on the DMM.

So now sadly the question becomes which board is the X main? Will post pics.

I've been told that the X is the one on the far middle right side of the picture.

But when I unplug this board from the PS it still has the pink snowy image.

Thanks...

Thanks for the info.

What makes you think it's an X main fault? Also why do you suggest I replace multimeter battery? It's fairly new. Just curious. Thanks

Hey guys so I have a 50" plasma (samsung hpn 5039).

It's been giving me hell for the last month or so. It turns on fine. Has no problem staying on but the picture is horrible.

It's dark, fuzzy/grainy and has what appears to be pink snow that takes up most of the top left portion of the screen.

I've replaced some of the caps that were bad but that didn't seem to change anything. I suspect that there are more bad caps so I plan to head to local parts store and grab some. I will include pictures.

Found voltage sticker. tested all...
