How to get to know plasmas

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hi

The problem with plasma repair is that you can't always apply the theory of how a set has failed to every manufacturer, for example if a buffer board fails on a Panasonic then it is either the screen that has caused it to fail or the buffer itself that has failed, but if a buffer fails on a Samsung then it is usually a problem on the drive to the buffer that has caused the fault

So, obviously learning the theory of how the set works is important, but equally important is the experience of individual manufacturers sets quirks

P.S. Plasma's need love too Chris

i've always found plasmas tricky to repair and as you mentioned recognizing previously  found faults and the fix applied plays a big part.Even after following the diagnostic flow charts and suggested fail areas I've often resorted to poppin in replacement boards till I get the faulty one . Its an amateurish way to approach it but I really dont do enough of them to be confident with them

Hi Brian,

Love most anything that makes the pound but not keen to spend cash on Plasma panels as I see 100 +  Supermarket Technica/Neon 'light' LCD (and they use cheap PS caps) to each hefty well engineered plasma.

Admit good plasma is the best, but as folks can't easily kick the screens in for accidental insurance, see few for spares - Chris.

So basically i prob can read up on the principles of how they work/go faulty,But only by trying to repair lots of differant makes will i get really to know how they work/go faulty.

Hi
Exactly, I'm sure we have all made a few costly mistakes when repairing plasma Tvs, It will probably take a good few years before you get the hang of them.
