From: Steve Butler on 16 Jan 2007 08:40 Hello, I am an electronics techo, dont work on TV`s that often but have had some experience mainly friends family etc... have not worked on plasma screens so im after some help/advice if possible. The above unit has sound but picture died while watching it ( its not mine) Unit is15 months old (warranty 12mths) , bought from Kmart apparently Owner has been advised by phone (repairman has had an educated guess i suppose) that it probably is the microprocessor a new one would cost about $800, would this include labour for fitting Some questions 1. Would it be worth pursuing Sanyo?????? 2. Can anyone provide me with a service manual and or schematic or details of where to get one? 3. Have no reason to doubt repairman but $800 for a micro ?? would that be right and while im at it what microprocessor is it ( after a datasheet possibly) 4. Any other help/advice would be appreciated thank you Steve

Just wondering if you're him? :-) There's a fair chance you can hire a service manual from High Country Service Data; see http://www.hcsd.com.au/ Cheers Bob

The usual repair process involves using the service manual - if you can get it - to determine which circuit board has a fault and replacing the entire board. Cost could be $400 to $1200 for the board depending on which board it is. They don't make it easy or cost effective to do most repairs.
From: Rudolf on 16 Jan 2007 16:24 Forget about service manual. Serously, you may be able to get wiring diagram if that. No component-level repairs on plasma, just board swapping. Most likely you will have to replace Y-sys, Z-sys and control board as a kit. Rudolf Where are you physically?

ISTR they have a fair bit of power electronics in them, that would be a good start. If they were in NZ, they could simply take it back from whence it came, and demand a repair/replacement/refund, under the Consumer Guarantees Act - 15 months is NOT an acceptable lifetime for a TV set, regardless of what the warranty says. Besides, if it dies after 15 months, the problem is most likely manufacturing and/or design. Cheers Terry |
