All brands suck. Some LG have 2 years instead of one. I see less LG than the rest. This sets is over 3 years old I believe. If you sink $100 and it last for another 3 years, you did good. I think you can figure out what I do this for a living. When plasmas first came out they were $10,000. The public wanted cheaper. You got it. I sent a friend who owns a bar in to buy an Insignia 50" plasma for $700 made by Samsung.He bitched about the price. Off over in the other corner is a 35" CRT set he paid $1600 for. A good 27" back in the day was $350. People would pay $125 to get them fixed so $100 isn't out of line. |

| Found the part number. It's 6871QYH048B. Now what? How much does it cost to replace one of these boards? Hope you have a good source where I can buy one. lol |

Do you mean a part number for the whole board? Are you suggesting replacing the whole board? |
Welcome to my world. Yes the whole board. |

I looked over the circuit boards for obvious damage and found nothing. However, I checked all the ceramic fuses I could find and one 4A-250V fuse on the YSUS board was open. Trouble is, I don't know if it blew because it may have been weak or if something caused it to blow.
All I did for caps check was inspect for bulging tops. I know that's not very reliable, but the caps on the power supply look fine. If anything, those on the YSUS board do look slightly bulged in comparison, but I'd have to remove it to test them and that will be a job in itself. |
