Re: Samsung PN50A510 P3FXZA Plasma Cycling On/Off



Thanks for the info. I was able to repair by replacing the c-102 cap. It wasn't pretty but I was able to get it seated on the board albeit a bit cockeyed but it fired up and seems to be working just fine. I think my son was a little disappointed as he was already shopping for a new TV. Too bad for him, Thank you everyone for your help and great info....

Kevin...Just replaced c-102 on Samsung 50" plasma. Thanks for the great info on fix and source for parts. Seems like these TV's have a design flaw or a were manufactured with a batch of bad caps.

Re: Samsung PN50A510 P3FXZA Plasma Cycling On/Off

Kevin, I have a Samsung Plasma mod. PN50A550S1FXZA with similar cycyling on and off and distorted picture. It's my sons TV he described it as turning off and on and after 10 minutes picture would come on. It has recently stopped coming on and keeps cycling with distorted picture. I replaced the Y-Sustain and Buffer modules without success and I am wondering if this could be a capacitor issue you have described in this thread. Any thoughts? Thanks Don

Hi all new to this forum, but don't have much expertise to bring to the table. I have always been fascinated with electrical components since the time my Dad and I built an old Heathkit SW receiver. I came across this site while trying to repair my son's Samsung plasma TV. Not having much success with it though, replaced the Y-Sustain and buffers still no joy. Anyway thanks for access to all this wondrful info, hope to make good use of it. Don, aka 72Tiger.
