Great video! I'd never thought in a million years I could repair a 10 year old plasma TV. I had the same problem as described here AND the same model number which made it seem very doable. Nice step by step instruction on how to identify the problem. For me, it turned out to be an issue with the X panel. Found a replacement on eBay for $22 and swapped it out. The trickiest part was figuring out how the connectors worked. Thanks Farm Dad!

Thank you so much for posting this video!!! I've had my Samsung for 10 years, and the picture is still great, but a couple of months ago, the clicking started and I thought I was going to have to throw it away. Thinking I had no other option but to buy a new TV, I took a trip to Best Buy.... oh my gosh, the new TVs with high refresh rates are so expensive!! I was so happy when I came across this video. I found the board I needed on Ebay, plugged it in last night, and it worked like a charm. I have a great TV for $26. Thank you Farm Dad!

I am so glad this saved your tv from ending up in the trash. They are good tvs.
Have to say you did awesome man. I have a similar Samsung TV with the glass on it. First Gen LED TV still amazing picture. Set the TV aside for a few years and then saw your video. I’m waiting for a board from EBay now. Spent hours and taping the pins like I’ve seen in other videos. Got audio but no video. Thanks man great explanation on everything. A++.

Hey, thank you so much for this video. My Samsung stopped turning on more than 1 year ago and I leave this problem as is. But yesterday I've decided try to fix it, and WOW - your video helped me, honestly, I don't know how :) I just follow your instruction, remove and insert back all cables and boom: TV is working now:) Appreciate it! With love from Russia :) С Уважением и наиличшими пожеланиями.

It was more than likely one of those small transistors. Just as easy to test just as easy to replace. Good video either way.

Those are integrated and not a component that I can easily replace. I am about to just toss it; it is 10 years old and I've been very happy with the Samsung so I'm looking for a new 50"-plus Samsung.

I need your help in locating what area I may need to check on my power supply board. I have no power going out to light up the backlights. The backlights do work. I used another power supply board from another tv and hooked the backlight connector to it and the backlights came on. I had 2 power boards hooked up at the same time and the tv worked fine.

Great Video Farm Dad, glad I found it. Looking at other videos thought I had to change the power board, but you went thru a great process of checking each board. Found out my TV clicking issues is the same board that needs to be replaced as your issue. Question though how do I disconnect wide white band of wires that goes to the logic control board from the Y-main board. Thanks

My TV makes no clicking sounds when I put power on, the main board green light flashes 3 time and nothing there after. Did all the boards individually but nothing at all and no burn spots on boards ..?
Unplugged all then replacing one after the other as you demonsted and works well untill i plugged the one that gets power from the Y board and the clicking starts how do i solve this
Thanks again for posting brother! In my case, as soon as I plug in the main board, the click is there, so I don't get to test the logic controller or the Y or X boards. So that said, I never hear the chime that's on your video. So my assumption is that main board is bad. Does that sound right to you? Thanks for your help!
Hey, great video. You save me a lot of money, had the same problem
What is the board name that has those black heat sinks and the capacitors you checked?
Thank you for your video on testing the boards after plugging in each one, one by one to test as I've tested the capacitors on the power board on my Samsung tv which keeps switching its self off and when you put your hand on the top of the TV it its very hot. I'm in Great Britain by the way. Hope you're farm and family is coming on well. Take care

I have a Panasonic 60” plasma from 2012 it stopped turning on. When you plug the power cord in you can hear it click once then it will click a second time right after but won’t turn on. Seems like the power is clicking off right after you plug it in. Any suggestions ?
I plugged in my power board nothing happened and when I plugged in my main board the front light came on. So do I need go ahead or just check the power board.
I removed both ysus and zsus power cable from the power board still clicking sound. Does this mean i have a faulty power board ???
I realize video is 3 years old but when you had an issue, did the red "power" light blink twice in a row a few times then go steady, then repeat the process? I am having that issue with my 60" Samsung plasma. Some other videos say it is the power board. Before I order another (as they are all used these days), I wanted to see if you had the same blinking light issue. If you did, I will have to do some more testing like you did, to confirm which board is bad. Thank you

My then 2011 top of the range LG Plasma TV finally failed yesterday (nearly 13 years daily operation). I want to try to fix it. Here are the symptoms: about four days ago the TV just switched itself off. When I turned it on there was no screen. I tried to get it going but I could not. The red light near the switch would turn to blue and the noise of switching on was still there (and the noise of switching off). Then I switched the TV from the socket (from the plug) and waited say one hour. Then it would work but after a while switch itself off. Yesterday it worked all day and then suddenly at night it switched itself off. No effort at getting it to go back on gave results. I remember we switched it off for an hour from the socket (from the plug on the wall) and then it came back but only for 5 minutes and switched itself off. So we played some card games to pass the time last night. This morning at 7 am I went down and switched the plug and then it went on and I was watching TV as normal. Then after 5 minutes or so it cut out again and I could not bring it back. What do you think is the problem?
Hi I dont know what to do, My TV still turns on but it is making a hissing sound coming from the Y board.
If you just wack that side where the board is it also will fix the issue I had the same problem and it works fine
