While watching, TV made a sharp bang sound. Sound Problem with the Zenith Z50PX2D 50 in. HDTV Plasma Television While watching, TV made a sharp bang sound. Sound still good, channels can be changed, but no screen, now tv wont come on at all?

Hi!
Can you tell me the problem of your Z50PX2D 50 HDTV Plasma?

these can be a bit costly. I would call around and get a few prices. It maybe cheaper to buy a new set.
good luck

check power board for faulty caps

There's an over current fault in the power supply or the Y-sustain convergence board. The loud pop was either a capacitor or pico-fuse breaking from excessive current overload. Sounds like 2 or 3 mosfets have shorted at the gate ends. Plasma TV's always have this problem because they generate too much heat and the components cant take the load conditions. Make your next TV an LCD...

To fix this problem have your local repair shop do it for you.....

any questions please ask.....

Sorry to say - it sounds like the 'pop of death'. The 50" Zenith plasma is very common for having a power failure issue. The problem resides in the Y-Sustain board in most cases. The Toshiba 50HP66 and Vizio P50HDM (as well as LG and HP 50" Plasmas) also have the same issue as they all use the same PDP Panel (plasma panel). The parts are manufactured by LG/Zenith Corporation. Since your Zenith is the model i'm thinking of (Z50PX2D), then the board you would need is the following:

The above site is the ONLY place that I have ever found selling this hard to find part and the price is reasonable. If they are out of stock on that exact link, just search for 6870QYC004C on their site and you might find one that is in stock.

NOTE: Before making any purchases, please check the part and make sure it is what your TV needs. I am simply making recommendations and trying to point you to the right direction.

Its not the CRT, its the Y Sustain board.. This happened to mine 30 minutes ago.. and has happened to every owner of a plasma tv that uses the toshiba Y Sustain board..

Please take the time (5 min) to file a complaint with www.consumeraffairs.com...you will see that you are not the only one with this exact same issue on this zenith plasma model Z50PX2D:

it's your power supply that has gone. I had the same problem after owning my LG Z50PX2D for 2 months. The repair shop had it for 6 months. now I have the famous "POP & BLACK SCREEN SICKNESS" LG/Zenith should fix this.

yes;and my controls rarely work unless it is kissing the unit.I also find it difficult to change the channels manually.[BOBBY](512)[email protected].
