May be of help.......................

My problems with LG plasma tv PDP42V5 using DGK-420W ( DGK420W revA) power supply pcb.
This PSU is also used in a lot of other brands of plasma screens, and can give problems after 2 to 3 years of use.
My own problem... no picture, sound ok. Green LED on psu board flashing 6 times (5 x short 1 x long pulse) .
On turn on, relay pulls in, 5V DC ramping up OK, 65V DC (VA) ramping up ok, 190V DC (VS) starts to rise,then fails, relay

drops out, and fault LED comes on flashing, and 5V, 65V and all other supplies lost.
SOLUTION (for me).....
Capacitor "C97" 1uf 630V DC blown (stinking!) polypropylene capacitor 1uF 630V DC. (Also look for slight swelling of sides

on this type of capacitor indicates faulty capacitor).
Circuit diagram shows this capacitor as a 2.2uF 630V DC ??? wrong capacitor fitted at factory?.
Replaced capacitor with correct type 2.2uF 630V DC polypropylene ( note.. MUST use high specification type capacitor,

example.. WIMA type MKP10 specially designed for switch mode psu type applications).
Plasma TV is now working ok.

Other capacitor to suspect in case of PSU problems would be "C19" 1uF 630V DC polypropylene.
