Powers on but no sound & no picture

hi test the large diodes on the power board these can stop the led from firing up, thanks, ps send me a picture of the power board i'll show you the diodes

Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

Unfortunately, I had this TV as well and I just chucked it for a new one. Had the same sound issue.

the loud pop was a capacitor or a resistor popping, it will need replacing.

You will most likely need to get the set diagnosed. Sounds like you have a backlight problem. Backlight problems could be cause by a fault in the power supply, main board, inverter board, bad CCFL lamp, or a short in a HV(high voltage) cables. I would say it's worth getting a proper diagnosis. However, if you choose to replace the set, you can get a pretty penny for it on Craigslist. If it is clean and come stand and remote, you could get as much as $100 to the right buyer!

Plasma sets have two separate power supplies; the main supply produces voltage for everything and may even produce a specific voltage for the high voltage required by the plasma display.
In your case, it is likely that the latter (HV) supply has failed.
This may be a separate board and if so, may be user replaceable since these are normally outsourced and just plugged into the set during assembly.
Removing the back of the housing, you are likely to see at least three boards. One of them (the main board) will have many components and most will be smaller in size. The main power supply will have much larger parts on it and the high voltage supply will likely be connected to it and have far fewer parts than the other boards.
It is possible but unlikely, that the main power supply is not providing voltage to the HV board for the display.
If replacement of the HV board doesn't restore the display, then it will be necessary to replace the main power supply too.

Hello Afox5, hi, make sure that there are no user controls or setup that are out of order. as a backgrounder, TV of this type mostly has two boards, power supply and main board. On the power supply board, this has two section, primary that deals with mains voltage and secondary that deals with TV supply current requirements, if you see green light mean that power on the secondary section of the power supply board of your TV is working, but it does not mean that the power supplied to the main board is correct, the supplied current produced by the power supply section to the main board that controls sound and picture needs to be checked, so voltages are needed to be checked and loose wiring, or screws needs tightening, are a common trouble, but some go to extremes like replacement of any boards.

yes you need to resolder the wire on the main board. that will take care of the issue

Normally the sets have seperate power supplies for the input/main logic board and the HV which drives the panal (could be 2 parts on the same board). It sounds like you have a problem with the power board that drives the panal and HV. Check to see if any fuses are blown, if the fuse is blown, you can try replacing it, but if it continues to pop, then the main fets that drive the HV are shot and will need to be replaced.
