Guys,
I swore off Plasma TVs after my last Samsung Plasma failure $$...but this one found its way home by way of a Nordic Track CR2050 my wife was wanting on Craigslist...it was also real close to my home (I live in the sticks).
Anyways I was told they were watching it one day and it clicked/popped off. They wrapped it in blankets and put it in there nice and Clean Empty garage in the hopes of fixing it and ended up buying something bigger.
Got it home plugged it in...no remote but it seems to have a touch pad front on the right side.
Anyways touched the touch area on front and there is sound (music) when turning on.
Started testing fuses found the Y Main board (I believe) with a fuse blown.
Voltages test at VS 202 and VA 55.
Put in a fuse and once fuse is in the PSU started cycling no startup music. So I remove the Buffer Boards...Still PSU cycles with the Y Main installed - No Music. Unhooked the Ymain and the PSU stops cycling and does the sound start up thing....So I am thinking the failure is in the YMain?...
No visible signs of failure except the solder point on some of Mosfets seem very dull on the YMain...bad solder joints?
One Buffer board on the back... the IC area looks leaky/grungy but not horrible. (like the other Samsung I did).
I have include some pics...Not had a chance to test Mosfets/Diode/Caps etc...This TV seems to be built much better then the previous Samsung I had.
Any common failure points on this TV?
The last Samsung the panel had a failure...hope this is not the case on this one.
Thanks
Chris
