Plasma TV problems


   Usually plasma TV problems start with the screen. If   the plasma screen is broken or crashed, it's  not  repairable any  more . It   needs a  new  plasma  screen  replacement,  which may cost you  more  then the plasma TV  itself. ( new screen run ..2 -3k in real  life .)   Budget   management  !!!   Protection  front  screen   (glass on  front) can  be  easily replaced and not so  expensive as  PDP  panel  behind it. If  you have just  protection  screen   damage  your screen(PDP   panel) will  work   without  any  problem  . Plasma  screen   contains   -  aluminum  base and   two pieces  of  glass  with  gas   between  them  (  gas  inside   not  rechargeable ).  Pixels  with  gas  , controlled  by  small  electrodes .  Each pixel  contains  3  colored   sub pixels  : they  are   green,  blue  and   red.  Plasma  screen  works  in   2  steps:
---          gas  ignition
---          picture  development

     IGNITION     -     power  supply >logic  control >  Z  or   X  sustain,> screen
     PICTURE  DEVELOPMENT       -      power  supply>,video  control  board  or  scaler  > ,logic  control   board>y  sustain > x  sustain > buffer boards  >screen



  Common   problems  with  plasma    panels   -   electrodes  damage    inside,  change  gas    parameters,    drivers  on  ribbon  connectors   damage.

                        TYPICAL  bad  PLASMA  SCREEN  symptoms


  1   Flashing  red  dots  or  pixels  on  the  screen  when  it  is  cold  (after  warm  up  it  goes  away  ) -  bad  screen
  2     distorted  colors  on  part  of  the  screen  -  LEFT  OR  RIGHT  CORNER -BAD  SCREEN
  3    COLORED   VERTICAL  LINES  ON  PICTURE
  4   flashing  red  dots  on  some  part  of  the  screen
 

90%  SCREEN  PROBLEMS   -  NOT  REPAIRABLE
10%  ON  PANELS  42V6  AND  42V5 (YOU  HAVE  a  CHANCE)

Burn-in image:


   This is an Image you can see on top of  the normal picture. It's  usually  displayed as dark lines or a dark area on the  screen.  Burn-in image  developers: TV in-service in  airports,  libraries, restaurants,  hotels, security  networks,  bars,  all  public  places. If your plasma  TV  displays  an  image  that's  not  moving (static image)  for a  long  time,  it  will  develop  burn-in  spots.  This  issue  is not  repairable  and  you  will  need a  new  screen  (PDP panel)  . That's  why  for all  those  restaurants,  bars,  and public places, it's better if  you  use an LCD    type TV, not a  plasma. For  example, a  Panasonic  plasma  TV   was in  a King   County  bar  for   6 months on  a  sport  channel and   it  developed a  burn-in   sport  channel   image.   The  estimated cost  for  this  type  of problem  would  be  $2,500.00.  Be smart  and  save  your  money !!!!
Vertical or horizontal lines or bars - 2-3" wide:


  There is 60% of chance you will need a new screen. The problem  you  may  have  is dead  driver  (part of a screen) or  poor connection  between plasma glass and ribbon  wire connector.  There is some solution for it but not for long  time. PDP panel  and  address driver on  it  not separated. If  one  of  26-40  drivers  is  going out,  you need  new screen. It is a  real  question   why   manufacturers   don't    separate expensive  PDP   panel ($2000  and  more)  and   $40 driver  IC  on   it. It  is easier  to  replace  a small $40 part  than  the  entire screen. So far  they  just  ignore   this  issue.   Future   plasma   panel  will  be  aluminum  + glass  + gas   only.(  no   more   drivers  on  it )    Other  common  problem  with  lines  on  screen   --  buffer   boards , high   ammount  of  failure   for  these  boards  due  to  poor   electronic  design
 1-- voltage  needed  to  operate  controllers on  buffer   board  just   to  high  for  small   SMD IC
 ,2---  they  are   not   strong  enough  to  drive  address  electrode).  In   future  it  will  be   changed for  more  reliable  parts .

Other problems

Other problems: A plasma TV is  a  very  hard  working  device. It is working  harder than any TV  that  has been  built before, and as a  result - it produces a  lot of  heat. 75% of  technical problems  in  our shop on plasma TV's  are  caused by overheating   problems. If   there is no active cooling   system, most   of  them  die  in  the  first 3-6   years. Always   ask at   the   store before buying    if   there is a cooling   system   inside. No  cooling fans inside   = no  long    life. That is a major  rule   about plasma TV.   Just   some   advice from   real   experience: Company names that ignore   cooling system - PHILIPS,   DAEWOO, some  SONY models. A real   test   in shop -   PHILIPS   42 pf7220a/37.  After   10 hours  of  work   without cooling system, some of the  components on power supply  board  were  out of temperature  balance. Vs  voltage   changes up to  2 volts   plus   . This   may   lead  to   overheating    problem and  cause    other permanent   damages. How    long   will  it  last?    You   know.
Plasma with Cooling System
Plasma without Cooling System

  Power supply:          The   most   hard working   board in a plasma TV, it develops   voltage to supply   all   components, high current + high voltage. Input fuse is 10 A. Not   so many   TV's  in  TV  history   use  input  fuse - 10 A. Very sensitive   for   input   AC   voltage  and  output  DC   voltage. It  is  a  good   idea  to  check   your   electric   outlet   before   you  hook  up  YOUR   plasma. Perfect  electric   connections   are   the second major   rule   for  plasma. A  real  example – a   Sony   42"  plasma  was  in service  on sparking  electric plug  in  apartment.  The  result:  dead   power supply, wiped   EEPROM memory, and   a  repair  cost  of  $470. Save  your   money:
  ---don't   use   cheap   extension   cords,
   ---open   wires,
 ---  100-year-old  electric  outlets.
 Keep in  mind  that  plasma  needs  twice  as  much  input  current  as  any  TV  on market.
   Common  power  supply problems:
-   hard   to turn  on,
-   stops   working   after a  while,
-   does  not   turn on at   all,
 -  flashing   pixels   on screen.

 Logic control, X, Y sustain, buffer boards:       controls picture, fires the gas, and many others functions. Common problems include negative image, no image, vertical or horizontal stripes on picture, turns on and than turns off, and many more. Technically they are complitely new electronic devices, nothing before built to compare with.It is always better to relace both sustain boards on any models (on SONY,TOSHIBA,LG you must -  no choice).

  Care:
-   cooling system (if it's not installed by manufacturer)
-   good electric plugs
-   don't leave plasma on one channel for a long time (2-6 days)
-   magnetic fields does not affect on plasma screen like on older TV's
-   don't use plasma TV on the same electric line with   other   powerful units such    as
   vacuum,
   electric   motors,
   plasma   cutter ,
   welding   equipment.
 -   NO   ELECTRIC  GENERATORS  - ANY    TYPE    ANY   BRAND    (PLASMA        IS    VERY    SENSITIVE  TO    INPUT  AC    VOLTAGE) !!!!

  Major   brand   or "exotic"   brand   name?
   Major  companies   build  their  own   product,  their   own  components, and  have  their  own  electronic   design. They  have  experience  customer support.
     They   drive   electronic   industry forward.
     They   spend   money on a research.
     They know what   they doing.     "Exotic" companies  -  don't  (they do -  copy  and   paste!!!!!!)



                                         LED  TELEVISION  REPAIR

   THERE  IS  NO  BIG  DIFFERENCE  BETWEEN  LED  TV   AND       LCD  TV   REPAIR .   SAME  POWER   SUPPLY , MAIN  BOARD ,T-CON  AND   LCD  PANEL  ON  FRONT
   THEY  DON,T  USE  INVERTOR  BOARD  ANY  MORE   AND  CCFL  LAMPS  INSIDE  LIKE  IT  WAS  ON  LCD  TV .
 256  OR MORE  LED  DIODES  LIGHTS  UP  YOUR  LCD  SCREEN  INSTEAD  OF    6-10   CCFL  LAMPS.   YOU  GOT   BETTER  BALANCE   BETWEEN  BLACK   AND  WHITE  ON  PICTURE   AND  SMALLER  ELECTRIC  BILL.
 LED  TELEVISION  IS  SIMPLIFIED  VERSION  OF    LCD   TELEVISION  . DOES   NOT  REQUIRED   ANY  SPECIAL  KNOWLEDGE (  IF  YOU  ALREADY  KNOW  HOW   LCD  TV  WORKS).
USE   LESS  ENERGY  AND  HAS  A  LITTLE  FASTER  VIDEO PROCESSOR.

LCD  or  PLASMA?
 
Technically LCD.
-    no overheating problem
-    no burn in image problem
-    low electric bill
-    not so many hard working parts
-    proven technology
-    twice as light

    But  this  time -  we  did  extreme "facelifting" way , you  can,t  see  it  anywhere in  internet. That  is  our  way  ,and  we  do  not  sell   that  . THIS  INFO  IS  FREE .But  you  have  to  be  a  electronics  repair  handyman .
  We  changed 
ETX2MM704MG   on  ETX2MM706NG  power  supply
Yes , it  is  completely    different  board  , but  has exactly  same  connectors  with  no  change ,and  706  is more  powerful  board  with  same  output  voltages   ans  sygnals.(no  need  to  adjust )  and  cheaper .
 
ETX2MM704MG  main  power  board   and  small  stand  by power  supply  were  removed  and  706ng (contains  two  board  on aluminum  chassis)  installed.
   it  is a little  bigger  in  size , you  have  to  modify couple  holders  to  tight  the  board.  We install  one extra  holder  to tight power  supply  to aluminum casing  of  plasma  panel .
 
  In  our  case  it  fits  perfect. all  wiring  connectors are  the  same
  Some  wires  got  to  short  to  reach  connectors  , but  we  always  can  just increase  them  in length .                     Soldering  skills  required !!!!!!!!!!!
  After  change  -  works  perfect . no  adjustment .
   We  hope  PANASONIC  can  and  will    install  706ng   power  supply   on  50"  plasmas  instead  704mg  .

             "   face lifting "   on      famous      power   supply  

ETX2MM681MF

     same  story   as   above   but   this   time   we  install   TNPA3911  POWER   SUPPLY   instead  

ETX2MM681MF

  wires  on   connector  p12  need  to  be  increase  in  length  ,rest  of  it  the  same
  connector  p9  need  modification
  screws  holders  need  to  be  modified  also
  same  voltages  ,same  control  signals
  if  you  do  not  have  etx2mm681mf  power   supply  you  can  do  tnpa3911.
