LG DU-42PX12XC 42 in. Plasma HDTV Logo

While checking Vscan voltages on my LG du-42px12x picture died.

While checking the Vscan voltages on my LG du-42px12x screen ysus replacement board from ebay the picture went black why? I was checking the VSCAN and i believe the VY with a volt meter when the picture went black, but there was still sound.

I bought the LG du-42px12x with a bad ysus board(no picture just sound) replaced the ysus now the picture and sound work great but there are colorful dots all over the screen so i adjusted the VS and VA on powersupply to the factory settings, not much of a difference there. I adjusted the 2 knobs NOT DIRECTLY ON THE Y BOARD but are popped out attached to the ysus i believe they control black and white? i was able to minimized the dots and make them black but the picture quality went bad, now there are adjustment knobs on the board y_ramp etc that i dont really want to touch but i hear this control red green yellow (there are 3 on the board)

Also while checking the voltages on the ysus all of a sudden the picture turned off but there is sound(guessing the ysus board fried). Immediately i checked the voltages on the POWER SUPPLY to see maybe my power supply went dead the VOLTAGES are fine when the YSUS is disconnected but when i connect the YSUS the Vs Va voltages on the powersupply are completely off (appears the ysus is giving a shortage?), so i bought a new used ysus from ebay being shipped as we speak maybe that replacement y-sus board was bad but what if the new one im getting has the same problem? what else could it be and why do you supposed all of a sudden the ysus fried just from checking voltages on the ysus?

To make a long story short originally bought the LG du-42px12x with a bad ysus board(no picture just sound) replaced the ysus now the picture and sound work great but there are colorful dots all over the...

Sounds like the y sus was blown out but what cause it. Were you careful when you were checking voltages? As long as you didn't short 2 components together, your y sus should be fine. Unless the y buffer up and/or down blew them out. Even the panel could blow it.

Basically you need a scope to adjust the ramps and everything. You can adjust VA and VS with a meter. If you don't have access to a scope, then just start changing the ramps etc by eye. It might take a little bit to get but eventually you'll get it.

Issue with LG Plasma tv model # DU-42PX12X

Another "same probelm"

My set has encountered this magical 50/50 split screen and it seems to be quite a problem since I am not the only one researching this issue. LG was of no use because of course it is just out of warranty. Any solutions on fixing this or am I out of money in buying a new plasma?

LG DU-42PX12X

Check the controller board, 6871QCH038A. This board is one layer deep into the assembly after the cover is removed. Gently lift the covering circuit board back plane to access.

To do this direct a blast of cold air unto the large chip in the center of the board. If the picture comes back on then you have found it. This means powering the TV while open and this means danger to the novice. Voltage can end your life when you become the circuit path.

Order Part number 6871QCH060Q as the suitable replacement part to this circuit board.

Philips 42PF7220A/37 April 2006. Chassis Number BP2.3U

Most likely the YSCAN UPPER board and/or YSCAN LOWER Board also gone. Your new YSUS board may damage again if you don't replace the bad YSCAN boards. Try to replace the three boards together and then to verify which boards are bad one by one. Good luck.

Lost video on LG plasma big screen model DU-42PX12X

LG Plasmas and all plasmas have problems with the sustain boards. You can replace them with just a screw driver to remove back and boards.  Try tritronicsinc.com and andrewselectronics.com and search for Y and Z Sus boards.
They are not cheap and you may want to call a qualified servicer or deal with return cost if they don't work

LG DU-42PX12X Verticle lines of various colors, and widths throughout the screen.

Check within you area for a reliable LG repair center. To fix the problem of the blue, red or green vertical line you just need to replace the control board PN 6871QCH038C. The part cost about $150.00 and a honest repair center should not beat you up to bad on the labor. Good luck and Good viewing.

DU-42PY10X Has sound but no picture.

When a plasma has no picture I have found that 9 times out of 10 the ysus bd or the zsus bd has failed and sometimes both have failed at the same time. When you pull the back of the unit, you will find the the large pcb on the left as you look at the back is the ysus bd. and the bd. on the right side of unit is the zsus (it is about 1/2 size of the ysus bd. Check the fuses on both bds. and if one is open see if replacing will help. If it blows again the bd. that the fuse is on is most likely defective. The VS and VA voltages are listed on a tag on the inside of the plasma panel and those voltages should be checked. If either of those voltages is very low or missing, first disconnect the plug from the power supply to the ysus bd and check the voltages again. If the voltage comes up then the ysus is defective. If the v does not come up replace that plug and pull the plug from the power supply to the zsus bd and check again. If the v then comes up the zsus is most likely the cause. Remember to disconnect the AC to the unit b4 each step. Of course there are other possibilities and I alway reccomend that if your are not proficient with handling meters and AC and DC voltages then please contact a qualified service tech.

LG flat panel plasma with red line

I had the same problem and fixed it by replacing the control board. It's a little nerve wracking, but required only simple hand tools. If you'd like to see detailed pictures of the repair check out my blog.
