    ok, i tested the ysus board by taking the upper buffer out and noticed the toip of the scren is out and then i replaced the upper board and did the same with the lower and then the lower part of the screen goes out.
    this was telling me that the ysus board is working.....or so i thought.
    i also thought if the ysus board is bad then the whole screen would be black altogether.
    and since i have something showing up on the screen then it must be one of the other boards.
    i know this model of vizio has a problem with the ysus boards going bad but since i was seeing the whole screen go from red to blue to white and then seeing the ghosting and the red and blue pixels like snow all over that the ysus board couldnt be the issue...or so i thought.

    the model number is... P50HDM
    now what do you think about what i just stated??
    thanks for your insight as any info is greatly appreciated.

    so you are saying that both the dual core processors never goes out causing a black screen?
    and your saying only one of the processors are out and thats why the screen is showing some kind of image?
    do you think the ysus needs to be replaced?
    im not sure if i understand your answer.

    thans again

Hi,

This kind of symptoms is an indication of fault either the Y-sustain or Z-sustain board. Based on the symptoms you've mentioned, there's an instances that the vertical lines appeared on the right side of the screen, I've suspected that the fault came from the Z-sustain board. Replaced this board and its buffer board.

Since the lines are vertical, the image is lost sideways and the corruption changes with the image then clearly this is a sign of Y-Sus failure, not the Z-Sus or the buffer boards.
An logic or input board failure would affect the entire screen, not just a part of it and a failure in one of the buffer boards would affect strictly defined lines of pixels and the defect would be constantly there all the time.
Since you haven't told us the exact model i can't point you to a replacement board.

  • Azrael SRL Aug 06, 2011

    In the Y-sus board of this tv there is a basically dual-core processor, each core controlling half of the screen. For the image to be completely absent both cores would have to be completely fried - this never happens. To be honest i never heard of a screen to do something like that before - it looks like a when you access the bootloader, which can't be done without it loaded in a USB memory stick; so it must be a malfunction in the processor. Yes, the fact that the screen lights up completely would indicate a failure in the logic board, but you have already replaced it so it can't be it.

    both yes.

We have a 50" Vizio plasma TV with a persistent blue, sometimes white, pair of vertical lines on the right side about 1/4 from the right edge.

if those problems were present when you got it back from repair, then, the guy didn't fix it fully.

if those are new problems - then you are now finding out why electronics and plasma displays wear out after ten years, replace the unit, don't pay to 'get it fixed' as the rest of the parts are old and about to also fail.

LG plasma 50 inch tv with a fine vertical black line in the center of the screen that runs from the top of the screen to the bottom

Try changing the input device to something you are sure works. Switch off TV manually, switch off power, remove plug and retry after 48 hours. If problem persists, please refer it to a qualified service technician.

Multiple vertical white lines

hi,
As you mentioned its sounds like the X buffer (Right and left) of your tv is faulty. There are two boards in your tv for driving the X plane of the plasma panel. Normally you can find these board on the top or bottom portion of the TV. . Its part numbers are Right buffer board is 6870QSC107A 6871QRH073A and Left buffer board i EAX35683901 EBR35855501. Before purchasing the boards identify which board is faulty. That you can find easily. Check which portion of the screen have vertical line in right or left side of the panel. The board for that side is faulty.
You can find these boards on the following link.

Vertical white line down centre of Soniq PT42SH plasma TV.

One of your "X" buffer boards is defective. In Panasonic plasma tv's they are located at the bootom of the set and connect directly to the plasma diplay panel via a thin ribbon cable. The board you want to replace will be directly in line with the discolored vertival line in the picture. The part number is on the circuit board and usualy starts with "tnp..." or "txp..."

White line

There are individual drivers for each line of plasma cells in the display (horz. & vert.), but they usually are an integral part of the display module that can only be repaired by the manufacturer. A new 42" HD-ready set with more features can be bought for 50-75% of what was likely paid for this one. The cheapest thing to do is learn to live with it. (That's what I'd do until the set got worse or the prices got even lower.)
