Panasonic Plasma with Cracked Panel

Cracking around the outsides of the panel (post dis-assembly) indicates set probably fell over at some point..

but overall, the electronics were working fine.

Sounds like a ccfl lamp has broken and the high voltage from the lamp inverter is arching to ground somewhere.

@repairdroid77 yeh LCD's do that

[polojize]

I have A Question for you sir i have a LCD 30 tv it does not have any sound can i use it but run it through my stereo system ?

[Aussie50]

@polojize yeah you can take the AV leads from your DVD and split audio off to a amp, and video to the panel.

I rarely do not do that, most TV's have shit speakers anyway. same with PC, it goes into twin transistor amps and big speakers.

@eurokid83 yep, got that one when I was a kid!, still works fine to this day, although its heald together with duct tape now :D

I still need to see how the leds are implemented in large led backlight panels, if you happen to find a broken one it will be damn interesting to autopsy.

@brucezweitausendneun yeh at more cost than the TV is worth

[brucezweitausendneun]

@Aussie50 Contact the Panasonic Service. The can fix this. They just have to change one part of the tv.

G'day folks! 2 things I like about your video's @Aussie50, Them Plasma's, I fixed mine!!! £30 for 2 buffer boards.. better option than mucking about with them SMT IC's. and that old smoky 4-cylinder Chrysler. As you can see from my vid's, I've gorra 3-cyclinder 85hp in need of some £ to fix after I staved it of oil and seized one cylinder.. (oops)

[eurokid83]

@Aussie50 That's funny because I have a old Micronta multimeter very similar to that, almost identical. That's the only reason I noticed it. They do seem to hold up!

@260830107 In my experience,yes. Another bonus is that LCD's are all low-voltage electronics,with the exception of the PSU,and CCFL backlights.

At least it would work in the vacuum of space. you should donate it to NASA :P

[260830107]

is it true that lcd tvs have are easier to fix than plasma?

@erlendse

Low pressure air could work in some degree as ionized Nitrogen can generate UV for the phosphor in there, but i guess eventually air (and Nitrogen Dioxide that the plasma converts air into) would react with the materials used in the screen panel and ultimately destroys it.
