How do i connect compnents to get regular digital tv on my sylvania 6842pem tv

No, it doesn't have a digital tuner. If you want to watch digital channels you will have to acquire a digital set-top box and connect it to the tv thru the av inputs.

it sounds like one of the boards are going out I would call sylvania and check with there service dept maybe they can send a tech and part out under warranty

Do you have the remote? Try changing the INPUT to AVI, AV2, Compnent, etc.

your transformer on your power supply is bad, i would recomend replacing the power supply, usually when the transformer goes bad , it damages other things on the board, should be around a 200$ part

If the set appears to operate normally other than the shutdown, it may be a case of either a thermal problem in some component or bad solder connections. I'd suspect solder connections first since they are a major source of trouble in today's TV's. Unfortunately, these problems can be hard to track down. Spray cans of cooler (similar to spray duster for computers) can be used to try locating a thermal problem. Gentle tapping on the circuit board with an insulated tool and close inspection can help find bad connections. Working on an operating TV exposes dangerous voltages and fragile components, so care must be used. If you are not experienced working around electronic circuits, you might consider getting a professional to give an estimate for the repair.

Finally I have managed to fix my plasma 6842PEM. My problem was the SS (Sustain) Board and not the Power supply. This board is the vertical one to the right connecting to the Screen/Panel. I tested every component on the board and found one of the Transistors on the heat sink was bad, part # 2PG001. This board is made by Panasonic which can be replaced. I got the Transistor which only cost $20.00 including shipping.

To identify wether this is your problem, disconnect the cable comming from the power board and put on the TV, If the green light stays on then this is your problem.

Thanks all for your help.

No. They are entirely different. Panasonic was the supplier of the 6842PE and Funai was the supplier of the 6842PEM.

I had the same issue. Turned out to be a blown capacitor on the power board.
