20 Most Recent Samsung HP-S5033 50 in. HD-Ready Plasma Television Questions & Answers

There are many reasons for the fault. The most common fault found is with the loose connection of the COF. It will be best to contact the authorized service center for Samsung in this case. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Pictures of faulty plasma screen are given by one among the posts in that site.

Check the speakers for any defect is the first step. If it is found OK, check and replace damaged component/s at the audio output circuit section. If you wish to get some more, check the site linked here.http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com

fyi, i gave up trying to get digital on mine several years ago. nothing i tried could get the xx-x digital channels. nothing i have searched for online gave an answer (that worked). nothing in the manual except for entering station number followed by - followed by number(s).. as you stated.my other sets i have work fine in auto programming and get digital '-' stations just fine. so i use them, but it would have been nice to have this model work too.if either of us get the answer and get it to work, post please!

most likely the power supply board has failed, call 1-800-samsung for nearest service center.

WHEN YOU SAY SUSTAIN BOARD YOU MEAN Y BORD AND WHEN YOU SAY BALLAST BOARD YOU MEAN UPPER Y BUFFER BOARD ONE RULE WHEN THE Y BOARD OR Y BUFFER BOARD ARE DEFECTIVE YOU MUST REPLACE THEM AT THE SAME TIME AS A SET ,A NOTHER POSSIBILTY BUT VERY RARE X BOARD COULD BE SHORT OR WORST OF ALL THE PANEL BUT 90 PERCENY OF THE TIME WHEN YOU REPLACE THE Y BORD WITH THE 2 BUFFER BOARDS YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM HPOE THIS WILL HELP

If this happens whatever the source of the image then the problem is hardware (an electronic part has failed) , not software (a bad setting). To fix that you must dismantle the tv and start testing components, starting with the high tension module and its power line, followed by the power source. This requires a good experience in electronics, otherwise you can do way more damage and hurt yourself - the voltage in the high tension line is around 250Volts , more than enough to kill you. If you don't have this experience then it's better to call a repair man. Your problem doesn't appear to be very complicated so it might cost you less than $200.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. From what you have described it seems to be the issue with Y-main however, Y-buffer and the logic board should also be checked. These boards are located on the right side of the unit and to check them you’ll have to open the back of the unit. Once you have opened the back also check for any blown/bulged capacitors. All this is only recommended if you have electrical expertise & know how to solder/re-solder components as these units contain high voltages even when in off position. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

plasma TVs have a lot of circuit board that drive the screen, one of them is causing the issue. Depending on your skill and tools, we can proceed several different ways.

Repair center = they will charge you probably $200 - 400 to fix after a part is replaced, depends on if it needs a board or a component

you repair/diagnose = many of samsung flat tvs have bad capacitors (caps), the caps will bulge (*see pic below) if they are bad. you can open and look for these. they are solder in parts but can be easily replaced by a savvy person with a little soldering skill.
if no caps are bad :
if you have a voltmeter, we can check voltages when the picture drops out and figure out which board is bad, or where a missing voltage may be.

if you give more info we may be able to narrow it down somewhat without opening up the tv set. If caps are bad, the problem will happen more when its cold, and go away after it warms. if a semiconductor (chip, transistor, etc) is bad, the problem will usually happen more when its hot, and work good when its cold. you can also try kind of bumping it around (be gentle) and maybe something is loose like a cracked solder connection or cable. any extra details about when the pic goes out can help too. do you see a glow or anything when its out? do you see it get sparkly or pixelated before it goes out? any clues can help..

let me know how I can help, we can solve this.

bulged cap - good ones are flat on top:

One possible cause.
The Function Buttons on the TV have shorted,particularly the Volume button. The part is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and needs to be replaced.

you have bad capacitor in circuit board.

I am going to explain something to you. If the screen was struck and damaged the PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL is now bad. The part is the entire screen assembly and about 2 inches deep.

All display panels like this are filled with an inert gas--once the panel is fractured the gas is gone and so is the panel.

Something else to consider: if the set was on or turned on after this any board in the set could have instantly been destroyed---like running a car with NO OIL in the engine.

I do not like to give people bad news but I have seen this several times in a shop where I repair these types of sets. If the panel was damaged enough to crack the screen/glass you are done.

What you are going to find is that if the panel is bad the wholesale cost for it will exceed what the set cost when new. Not to mention the PANEL (PDP) is sold on an exchange basis and has a core value--a cracked one will not be accepted----Also the labor to replace the Panel will be major.

My expert opinion is you are better to replace it---if the panel is bad any new board or boards you install will not cure the problem and may be instantly destroyed.

SD TECH

Did you find out if that would solve the problem? I was really excited to learn that all I needed to do was change out the capacitors but after installing 4 it continued to click. I to removed the cover to the and found the relay where the noise is coming from

chances are one of the internal fans is either dirty or failed your should have a tech check and clean or replace the fan

The problem is associated with a loose X-Drive buffer connection or a faulty TCP (tape carrier package) IC. These are responsible in transmitting color information to the display panel from the X-Drive (A-Bus) Board. Sometimes tapping the back of the TV both at the top and bottom part makes the lines/s disappear indicating a loose connection. But to avoid incurring further damage to the TV, service of an experienced or a qualified technician is recommended.
For your "entertainment", watch the video below. Please be reminded that it is not recommended to fix your TV this way.
