MVM Plasma PDP4209HD-CORRUPTED PICTURE-(MYER AUSTRALIA)- CHINESE GENERIC

[tw2005]

I thought I'd post this just in case it helps someone in the future.

The picture was very messed up, see photos below.

Sold by MYER (Australia), distibuted by YALE PRIMA.

Model: PDP4209HD

PANEL: SAMSUNG S42AX-YB07
PWR Board: SAMSUNG PSPF365601A
X MAIN: LJ41-05780A
X BUFFER: LJ41-06256A
Y-MAIN: LJ41-05779A
Y BUFFER: LJ41-06109A
LOGIC CTRL: LJ41-05903A

MAIN BOARD: RC209FG-S1 , NOT SURE YET BUT I THINK MADE BY Shenzhen Siviton Technology Co.,Ltd

checked the voltages, all 100% ok. I swapped out the logic ctrl board but same result.

I've reseated and manipulated the LVDS lead, no change.

My thoughts were the main board was faulty.Someone suggested to me possibly corrupted EEPROM.

I had no manual and no idea who made this but i wanted to get into the factory Mode.

I've played with a couple of others PALSONIC/SANYO ( same firm that also builds DYNEX I believe) and the sequence to get into FActory Settings is:

SOURCE" FOLLOWED BY 2580 WITH THE SET ON.

I got lucky as this also worked on this set. after struggling for hours and making no progress I decided to try the "FACTORY RESET" option.

I was very reluctant to reset so I wrote down all the settings first and then took a chance.

It must have been corruption because now it's all fixed.
