Nec Plamsma 50mp1 video issue

[jaydub]

have a NEC 50mp1 that powers up and the LED stays solid green but no menu or any video image.

Does anyone have any ideas? anything will help?

If you have some electronic repair experience, start with some of the obvious possibilities:

1. Connection issues - e.g. cable hookup, menu setup, etc.

2. Inside the unit -
a. Look for loose connections, or poor solder joints around them - this was a problem for some Gateway models.
b. Bad solder connections - always an issue on electronics. Careful inspection of boards might turn up something.
c. Surface mounted "blob of plastic" chips - I had one reader on my site who purchased a dead NEC plasma - found a burn mark on one of the LSI modules - literally could see what looked like a pinhole on one of the chips (not replaceable chip type - "blobbed" onto the board).

(Please don't attempt any of this if you do not have repair experience - sorry, I'm just not a fan of DIY in electrical! Just too many hazards)

If it is a board, it can be hard to find replacements. I am trying to put together a compendium of Plasma and LCD repair sites on mine - if you have any suggestions other than what is already there, please drop me a line -

Regards,
