 Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2008 10:17 pm Post subject: Philips plasma TV has horizontal stripes |
 |
|
I have a 50" Philips Plasma TV which has recently developed horizontal stripes across most of the screen.
TV is a 50PF9630A/37.
The TV is 3 years old and until now has performed flawlessly.
I expect there may be a board that needs replacing (?) as I'm not sure if I'd just be able to identify/replace a single component...
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
(how can I attach a photo?)

Hi,
If I were to label the screen vertically from "0" from the top to "10" at the bottom, I can describe the issue as follows:
From 0-2 there are horizontal stripes (about 15-20 of them), mostly black/red.
From 2-5 everything is fine- i.e. right up to the mid level of the screen
From 5-9 there is a solid, darker shaded band. I can see the picture through it, though.
From 7-10 there are more stripes similar to the top (overlaps some of the solid band).
Any ideas?

| Snap a picture and post it. Either it's a bad buffer board or panel. |

Hi Minnie,
Any suggestions for where I might post a photo?
I did read the FAQ blurb, but unfortunately I'm only familiar with Hotmail, Yahoo, etc...

| I'd suspect the logic board. It's not up and down which rules out the buffer boards but it could still be a x/y sustain panel. |

|

There's one more clue which might help.
Upon turning on the TV, I hear a relay(?) clicking on.
On turning off the TV, I used to hear a clicking.
This clicking at "off" no longer occurs.
Now for the question -
I've checked ebay for this TV's model # and found the following:
They do have a "Logic Main," but I don't see anything labeled x/y or sustain panel. Would this be called something else?

| x sustain, y sustain, or y sustain, z sustain. The panel is just that, the panel. |

| Sorry to sound dense - but the panel - is that the screen itself (and not a board) inasmuch as it's something that cannot be repaired? |
