Planar Plasma PDP-42BK Power issue

The unit doesn't power up at all. Is this a common issue, should I buy a power board for this unit and if so where can I purchase it. Are there any other issues that can cause this unit to blow a power supply? The company that makes the power board is 3B.. Cant fid any info on them. Thanks

    I contacted Planar and they were not able to give me the company address that makes the power boards. i took the unit apart and the fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse and it blew again. I disconnected all of the cables leading to other boards and the fuse did not blow. I isolated it to one connecter with four plugs. This plug is located on the right towards the bottom. It sends a signal and some power to the logic board. Could this be a short on the power supply or on the Logic board.

Were you able to locate c97 for planar tv 42" plasma

On the power board, you will see two large electrolytic capacitors at one corner and a transformer directly next to them on the long side of the board. The big blue (usually blue, anyway) box next to those is C97. On the other side of that are three white power resistors standing in a row. The part number label for the board is usually on the edge of the board right close to C97.

Planar PDP42BK no picture

Check the 15v line that runs through all the boards, left, right and top.. If that has no power, then look on the ysus board (left one) there is a flyback reg (5pin) standard to-220 case surrouded by caps, it does dc to ac conversion, if you dont have the 15v output then the chip is bad. I just did 2 of these that had the same problem.

No power PDP-42BK 42 in. HDTV Plasma Television

First check the power cord and ensure it is firmly plunged into the set or it could be the fuse on the power board which I am almost certain you will not be able to purchase anywhere. do you have a pic of the board?

PLANAR 42BK PDP TURNS ON THEN OFF

I have the same problem, with the cover off I used a hair dryer to warm the C18 capacitor then switch the tv on and it works. C18 is located at the top of the power board, thats the second board on the left, it's value is 450wv 330uf. Until I can get the capacitor I leave the back open. Let me know this works for you.
