Dead Goodman GTV42P6

[sabre504]

Hi I have a Goodman  GTV42P6  plasma that I picked up to play around with (never touched one before) with the aim of repairing it so the kids can use it with the games consoles .
Bought as dead no power or standby lights opened it up and checked the psu after reading about repair kit and tested what I could before replacing the blown fuse .
Screen now lights up but is grey and there is still no standby light .
The boards either side have green led’s on them that are lit .
Basically is it worth buying a psu repair kit and seeing how it goes from there any input welcome can do pictures if needed

Ok bought a kit

IC1004 FSD200
IC1005 PC817 op coup
D1001 B250/1500 Bridge rec
R1018 R1019 22K 3Watt res
D1012 FUF4007 Diode
FS1001 3.15 amp fuse
ZD1002 Zner 12v

Also changed C1031 as it was swollen and C1023 bit charred .

As yet not changed the zener as i wanted to check voltage before fitiing
one side showed no volts other showed 0.7v and still have grey screen no standby light

beware there are two different
versions of this board, when
replacing zener diode Z D 1 0 0 2 on th e
secondary check w hich part you take
out, the k it comes with a 1 2 volt
zener B Z X 5 5 - C 1 2 but some versions
are fitted with a I N 4 7 4 6 which is a 1 8
volt zener, if you fit a 12 volt zener
place of the 18 volt the set will work
normally for awhile then the diode
will go short circuit.

Hi Vince
Thanks that was the reason i was trying to measure it before i changed it
I will have to take it off the board and see if i can see any markings on it and try to trace back to see if there any other components that have shorted

[sabre504]

Right problem solved  thanks to FIXITNOW i went back and rechecked everything tracing as to why i had no voltage at the zener diode .
All components checked ok until out of frustration i checked the fuse and it was dead popped in a new one and all fired up .

So moral of this misadventure even if its new check it
