Hi Hotpoint,

Working on one at the moment where Z-Sus fuse had blown with the dark picture biz - replaced it and sparks shot out from central heatsink. Replaced with known good panel - OK, now to try fix those sparklies.

Good luck - Chris.

hi guys,
you must check the 15v supply from the y sys pcb is correct and stable or the z sus pcbs will continue to fail.

Hi and thanks Daz,

Plasma for me are like the 'Titanic' and I can't wait for them to sink by Chinese recycling into efficient LCD stuff with all those glowing diodes and optional 3D spectacles.

Had all this trouble with projection tellies in the 50's - all that oil and EY51's

Suspect latent dematitis - well me roll ups don't hold together - Chris.

,,update on 42v6.. removed the circuit under the heat sink on zsus - a right royal pain in the ass that was... the problem is in that circuit - q8, 9, 10 & 11 built into the pcb - q8 had exploded off the pcb into bits - left a nice mark on the mainboard, q10 & 11 not too healthy either !! these 'q' parts are apparently PDP Trench IGBT - you can directly replace these parts (once you dig n level the dead ones) with IRGB4055PbF IRGS4055.. these are available from rs components !! woohoo !! :) £5.50 each but its cheaper than the scammers on ebay selling you a 5 year old replacement board at near the new prices !! the link for those who hate searching - http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=6503527 (sorry if i'm not supposed to be linking on here !?). once i've got the replacements i will photograph they're connection, test & re-post again on here.. maybe it will help someone else ;)
