Today, I received a 50-inch SAMSUNG (PDP) TV model PN50B450B1D. When I powered it on, the standby light blinked, and there was a strange relay sound, like a "drip-drip-hum". Pressing the standby button or using the remote control had no effect at all. So I removed the back cover and started my troubleshooting process. I decided to focus on the power board first. I disconnected all the cables from the power board, including the screen cable. Then I connected a 220V 100W bulb as a dummy load to the VS output. I also used a 2K resistor to connect the STBY pin to the VS-ON end, and shorted the PS-ON to ground. This allowed the power board to run independently. I quickly checked the voltages: 5V, 15V, VS 207V, and VA 54V, and the bulb lit up normally. Great! The power board was working fine. Next, I reconnected all the cables. When I connected the Y board and the Y buffer board, I heard the power board's relay click once, then it protected itself. After that, the relay clicked again—two times in total. It was clear that the problem was in the Y buffer board. I immediately removed the buffer board and plugged in the Z board. But the power board protected again, so I took the Z board out right away. After inspecting the Z board, I found two STK1820 chips and two FGPF50N33 transistors that were damaged. I replaced them with new ones, but the image still wasn't right. I felt a bit confused, but I kept going. Then I got the parts from the warehouse and installed them one by one. To my surprise, the image appeared, and I was proud of myself. I sat down, sipped some tea, and enjoyed the show. But soon, I noticed something odd—the image looked a bit distorted, like a flower screen. I blinked a few times, and it turned out to be a slight distortion. My mood dropped a little. Was the Y board the issue? Could it be the Z board again? I wasn't sure. I tried adjusting both boards, but the image quality didn’t improve. So I took out the Z board again and checked it carefully. While I was doing that, I plugged in the Y board just for testing. To my shock, the image appeared even without the Z board, and the picture quality was the same as before. That really confused me. Then I realized—it must have been the Z board all along. After checking, I found a damaged RJH3044 transistor. I replaced it with a similar one I had taken from a spare part. Finally, the HD image came through clearly. I was so excited! This kind of repair reminds me that sometimes things aren't what they seem. Even without the Z board, the plasma TV could display images and sound. Samsung's "high-tech" design isn't always practical. If the answer isn't clear now, it might need more testing in the future. Masters, what have you experienced in your own repair journeys? I hope we can keep sharing and learning together. Thank you all for reading!
