I have a dell 50' plasma tv when turned on does nothing. no audio or screen display. dell tells me $1500 for shipping or s.o.l. they know there is a problem but hope custs dont complain. help

I have the same problem. No video just audio.
No on screen display visible either (volume, channel labels) nothing.

Samsung tried to repair this under warranty TWICE within 2 months. Second time they replaced circuit board and it worked for another 8 months. So I paid $1.500 for a TV that died again after 1,5 year - this is ridiculous.

I have no idea what the reason might be and I wont try to fix this since samsung tech could not fix it without replacing circuit board.

It'll be the X or Y boards or maybe the power board, without checking the VA and VS voltages I can't tell.

betaspace, Stop fooling around with the remote! The W2600 is broke. You will not fix it. Here are the options you as a consumer/user have. 1. Dell warranty? Check with Dell and claim premature failure of the set. Maybe they'll tell you to take a hike. Who knows? 2. See if they have a swapout program. You send them your's + some cash and they ship you a refurbished same model in return. 3 Contract a local TV/LCD monitor service center that knows forwards and backwards all about SMPS's/CCF lighting and their inverter power source. That's about all I can tell you to do. If you ever need to ship any kind of plasma or lcd display follow this rule! NOTHING but a layer of pure AIR 4" thick should ever be allowed to contact the viewing screen. Only AIR! No feather pillows! No styrofoam popcorn shipping material! No crumpled-up newspapers! Nothing but AIR! I'm louie12fix on fixya or lmistyrel@ aim.com

Most likely it is your y-board. I was able to order it from Coretronic in Taiwan. Email
[email protected] . I had to wire 263.20 for the part and had it delivered in about a week. My TV repair shop installed and now the TV is working great.

power no video, is an indication of a bad panel. It usually requires changing the power board, and the panel. this supplies all boards to receive the proper voltage to correspond with each other to make the TV work again including the LCD panel. also the revision code and firmware needs to be current, to prevent future programming failures.

It is worthless. The glass itself is the sealed plasma display unit. once it is cracked it will not work correctly. The most expensive part of the set.

I have a 51" Magnavox rear projection TV and the front screen was damaged and I checked around and its going to cost me $250.00 Plus shipping.
