Samsung Plasma TV series 5

Mar 1, 2015 5:16AM PST

I have a Samsung Plasma Series 5. The tv was just on and working and then heard a pop and it wont fully turn on. the red light in the bottom right corner is still on. When I turn the tv on it still makes the turn on sound but the screen will not show anything. It just stays black. Does anyone have any information on this? Thank you so much.

I'd arrange for a tech to replace the broken component.

Are there multiple boards in a tv or just one certain one. I'm interested in being cheap and just ordering it and fixing it on my own.

Yes. Different boards....

there are more people more in line with this than me. I will defer to them. Could be many reasons, bad caps? Bad board?
