    Samsung LN-S4692D Success

    Well, today I got a call from a local recycler and he told me he had a 42" Samsumg Plasma for sale for 50 bucks. So I told him I am not real big on the Plasmas, basicly to much work. but I will stop in and look at it, since I need to drop him off a Laptop I fixed anyway. Well to my surprise when I get there it was not a plasma, but a 46" Samsung HDTV. So I took it home, and started to diagnose it. I found that there was a known problem with the tcon boards in them. I could not find any repairs online for them so I started to check out the pinouts. I found a 5 volt line, that stopped at what looked like a minifuse. Funny thing is it was another one that was only marked with a P, not a F. I fixed it and the tv works great.

    Had a great week, from this place. I also got a Dell Poweredge 2900, for 40 dollars. It worked great, and has (2) 3.0 ghz Dual Core Xeons, and 4 gigs memory.

    P = Picofuse?

      Thanks,

      Retiredcaps you are the best, I would have never guessed that.

      Today there was a 46 inch P4 Vizio Plasma, that turns on to fuz, but then turns black. I told them I am interested, but I had to do more research on it. I cant afford the cost of a powerboard. but if it is going to be caps I will take it.

        From reading here in the last year or so, plasmas are more about sus and buffers problems. They are hard to fix without specialized equipment. While some plasmas are a "simple" fuse and cap replacement, I guesstimate from the evidence here that it is only 15% of the cases. It is more board swapping than actual component level repair.

        Good find on the Samsung 46inch for $50. I'm jealous!
