I have this plasma TV (Samsung PN60E550) from 2012 that I love and something in it got fried this January, funny smell and everything. I sent it to repair and apparently a board was replaced and it cost me 400 CAD. The other day I went to turn it on and again I see what I think is the same behaviour with the LED, which is a pattern that would go beep-beeeep, beep-beeeep if the light made a sound. No popping/clicking or burning smell though. Since it's past the warranty of the repair place I am trying to give it a go at it myself. I've opened it up and I can't spot any blown-up capacitors. Here's...

so I purchased this tv as a repair project and what I found was shorted igbt's on the xsus board...chose to replace xsus board and have some success as the tv powers up fine and all functions appear to work...problem is that the igbt's are overheating and I'm quite sure that if left powered that these igbt's would also go...am hoping someone else might have dealt with this issue and can offer some insight...cheers

Hi guys (and gals?)

I'm working on another big Samsung Plasma (I would post pictures, but this is such a common model and the pictures at the Fast Track guide are linked below) and I'm having the issue described in this AVS forum thread:

---which is sound but no picture whatsoever. There is no glow or brief flash or anything. Also, if you read through the short thread at AVS forum, you will see towards the bottom there...
