    LG Plasma Model 42PC7RVH Chassis PDP42V8 - No picture!

    Hi Guys.
    A week or so ago i asked how to get this plasma set into Auto Gen mode to see whether my drive panels are ok and now i know they are not. The set starts up by hearing a clicking and there is a slight pre charge flash, i have to cup my hands with my eyes against the screen to see it.
    If i pull the AC mains plug i get an image on the screen. It's the exact image that is being auto generated by the logic board and then the tv dies off as power drains. I think the image is the for about 0.2 seconds before disappearing. I wrote down the voltages that i could find on the board but i don't know... on the sticker which label is for which voltage. Can anybody clear up for me the what the sticker indicates, the format of Vscan, Vy Vbias etc....
    Also i really suspect the Y-sus is to blame hear but hope to repair it since replacement part is quite expensive.
    I have noticed that someone has already replaced the fuse on the Y-sus board but this fuse is ok now.
    I have checked on the IPM that there are no shorts between its outputs and ground. Like i said no fuses are popping.

    How do i isolate where this issue is?

    Kind regards

    As well as the shorting of the two points on the logic board did you also isolate the ribbon cable between the mainboard and the logic board and then power up?

    Although you have no image on the screen do you have sound and does the set respond to the remote?

    I see one of the fuses is a glass cartridge fuse that really needs to be changed to a 20mm ceramic fuse. Glass has a tendancy to shatter when there's a short circuit.

      Hi, this image is from an LG plasma 50PQ30R, 2009, newer than yours but the information on the sticker is the same, -VY/VSCAN/ZBIAS.
      There seems to be some disparity between your VSCAN reading and what the sticker says, are you measuring it correctly as the boards indicates the + and - reading points?

        Yes, i removed the cable going from the main board to the logic board, The LVDS cable?
        I also removed all power to the main board. There were two plugs.

        Although you have no image on the screen do you have sound and does the set respond to the remote?

        I was not supplied the remote but will ask for it and get back to you on this one.

        I see one of the fuses is a glass cartridge fuse that really needs to be changed to a 20mm ceramic fuse. Glass has a tendancy to shatter when there's a short circuit.

        Yes, the glass fuse was inserted by the customer. In outr country finding ceramic fuses is like chicken teeth. Wearing our protective glasses is all we can do.

          There is a marking on the Y-sus board showing Vsc, i assuem that is the Vscan? This measurement is on the plug going to the buffer boards.
          I must add that upon switch on this voltage slowly climbs to 188V taking about 6 seconds to get there. Not sure but perhpas the IPM IC is faulty. After all the client has replaced the fuse that feeds the IPM's SUS_OUT pin. I suspect this chip is not switching anymore. I did ESR all electrolytics and did not find any at fault.

            When you have powered up the set does the led on the logic board blink 1sec On, 1 sec OFF?
            Strange that you can see the picture as you shut down. Can you turn Vscan down to match the panel @ 180V

              I think Biruslapio may well have noticed an issue.
              Your panel label indicates a Vsc of 110V but you give a reading of 188V in post #1?

                I have MSPAINTed your image with points of interest that may have to do with VSCAN/VSCN/VSC (they mean the same in this case).

                That 1 ohm resistor, is it measuring correctly?
                The L8 inductor looks darkened, may be dust or something, but it looks different.
                VR1 may be able to lower or rise VSC, make note of it's original position and try turning it counter-clockwise to lower VSC, if it doesn't change, it is lowering something else, like -VY, try then VR2.
                IC20 or IC17, one of them are what generates VSC, from the looks of this board IC17 is much closer to the VSC checkpoint, as well as VR1, to me that area is what generates VSC, I cannot confirm that without the board in hands.
                Those golden pins at the top Y-Buffer can be used to measure VSC.

                  Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
                  by KYBOSH
                  Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
                  No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
                  The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
                  But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

                  When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
                  Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
                  Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
                  Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...

                  by KYBOSH
                  Saved this beast from the landfill this weekend.
                  Manfactured July 2013 in Mexico.

                  I love working on plasma TVs.
                  Its been a while but I was lucky enough to find 2 this week.

                  The TV powers on and stays on but no picture. Havent checked for sound yet.
                  No bulging caps although the insides are pretty dusty and the boards are discolored from many years of high heat.
                  Will start troubleshooting tonight.

                  T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
                  by Tr0ll
                  Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                  The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                  Original T-con:
                  Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                  First replacement T-con:

                  I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                  SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
                  by JJAAMM
                  This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

                  Problem
                  TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

                  Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                  by TR103
                  Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                  - sound and backlight, but no picture
                  - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                  - it keeps rebooting
                  - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                  - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                  - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                  - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...
