Loud bang, unit stopped working

Appears to be a power supply issue with everything being so dead.

May be a bad HDMI cord.

Oh yeah!
Did you have to play with "power button" or trying to squish your "clicker" before set went down south?
Probably-yes? Or, have heard loud bang? May be. may be not?
Have your TV was loosing picture or shutting off due to regular usage? If you answered 'yes" at least twice, you need to surrender your efforts to specialists!
There is nothing you can do to revive your "baby", unless you know where to look and what to do next! Diagnostics of Plasma is a "Top Gun" of skills: it will shut down for any reason, when "brain computer" detects a fault! Plasma TV has a dozen of power supplies, plus "sustainers" and "buffers" which are subject of high voltage and high current circuitry. Therefore, those are guarded well by "shut down" system. Each independent power supply is under constant monitoring, to prevent major overload and possibly structural damage of display itself. 6 years old is enough to accumulate multiple troubles. But the first one , which was ignored or considered "self healing" killed your set! not literally, but at this particular condition. Please: don't even dare to open TV, unless you are the semi-pro! You must start from the very beginning , usually power supply, and if that's not a case(bet, you'll find bloated capacitor), then proceed to check sustains fuses and bloated large capacitors. If you see them bloated and any fuse is open(ceramic ones), STOP right there!
Or, call local reputable repair shop.

My Xbox 360 Do a Red light of Death



NOTE: If you are getting the three red lights and you have not opened your console by all means call Microsoft first at 1-800-4MY-XBOX this will get you in touch with customer support.
For the rest of us who have opened their console for one of many reasons like adding a suped-up case or even a well overdue cleaning for that matter, there is a viable solution; the "x-clamp fix".
For most consoles only the GPU x-clamp needs to be replaced, but some also require the processor clamp be replaced as well. For this tutorial we will be doing both clamps at the same time. We suggest you do both right away since even if yours does not require the processor clamp replacement it will not hurt to do it and it only takes slightly longer to complete the fix.

try the connection help option on the xbox..they all have it

2 things that will cause that vertical IC or Yoke! Listen to this one went on service call 2wks ago Customer had a 50 INCH1988 pioneer big screen replaced 3 capacitors resolder poor connections TV is now working like New ?

IT GAVE OUT A LOUD BANG AND NOW I HAVE NO PICTURE OR... Mosfet Transistor blow out.  Transistor K3316 or replace the Power unit supply. This problem was caused by a low power voltage. SONY SONY KE-42TS2U

If the crack is in the glass - your set should be considered "totaled". The cost of replacing the "display" will probably be more that it worth. If you are under warranty, contact the seller immediately.

I have a Sony KE-32TS2 set. We heard a very loud bang, and the screen is dead. We still have audio and the ability to change channels. One electrician friend suggested a blown capacitor in the powersupply. I'm pretty handy with electronic repair. Can I do this myself?

someone shot your tv.





no really, I am just a smart a$$ --- but the loud pop sounds like it may have been one of the capacitors in the power supply board. check for a POPPED cap (rare) and if there is one, test the components in the related circuit - as SOMETHING had to happen to make a cap fail like that - maybe a voltage regulator? give it a look..
