In this article, I will help you to understand where these 3 boards are located, what they do, what
happens when they fail and how to troubleshoot these boards.
The capacitance on the Vsus bus (>4,500µF) is easily enough to jump-start your heart and can
power the TV for half a second with a fully white picture, that’s over 200 joules. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES TOUCH ANY PART ON THE BACK OF THE TV WHILE IT IS
RUNNING OR SHORTLY AFTER POWER OFF!
I highly recommend you have someone around watching you while you service the tv.
I’m using this (see image above) LG plasma 60ps11-ua because I know every part in it.
2. Upper SDR or Y Driver Board: Is the board that drives all the upper half part of the plasma
screen signals coming from the Y-Sustain to the individual lines on the plasma panel.
3. Lower SDR or Y Driver Board: Is the board that drives all the lower half part of the plasma
screen signals coming from the Y-Sustain to the individual lines on the plasma panel.
4. Z or X Sustain Board: Are actually the panels discharge board and controls the X- axis part of
the plasma screen, also it’s supplied by Vs and Va voltages from the power supply board. The Z-
sus board sets the brightness level of the picture. If it’s bad, you get a picture, it stays on, but
your picture is so dark that you see speckles/blobs of dots that move around and it’s because the
brightest part of the picture just “barely lights” up the panel. The X-sus’ purpose is to
create/deliver the picture in Vertical Bands. When those go bad, you get a normal picture, but
you also get BANDS of vertical that are black or bands of noise about 2 inches wide.
5. The Main Board: This board does all the video, and the sound, and the system control, and it
looks for “fault codes” and shuts the TV down. It does the Onscreen displays like the volume
bar, the menu, the Input/channel displays...It does everything.
6. The Logic Board: This board takes the picture from the main board, converts it to digital,
sends the digital data stream to the X and Y boards, and sends the brightness to the Z board.
Board failure
Possible Errors:
All the above faults are related to either X,Y or Z sustain boards. These boards look different to
models to models, and manufacturer.
Y-Sustain board is likely to be more faulty than others. There are buffer boards to this Y-Sustain
board. If Y-sustain board is found faulty, it is the best practice to replace these buffer boards
along with it because damage to Y-Sustain board might damage these boards too.
Common problems:
1. Motion Blur: The picture is slow to update (motion blur) and has a purple or lilac tinge to it.
Z-SUS
2. Horizontal lines: The picture has lines going from left to right in fixed positions. The Y-buffer
is faulty or the Y-driver connections are loose.
3. No picture: This is a big one, lots of causes, lots of problems. First, check if you have sound
when you plug in a source. If so, it’s probably not a power supply fault. Does the set respond to
the remote control or side buttons? Is it stuck in standby? There are too many power supply
faults here to debug.
4. Flashing display: This is usually accompanied with a “ticking” coming from the YSUS board,
about once every second, in sync with the blinking display. This failure indicates one of the two
large ICs on the board has failed. We replace both ICs, though, since the still live one is not too
far from failing either
5. No image on display (black screen), sound possibly present. Sound is most likely working
fine, even if you do not hear it, as it is easy to lose proper input and, therefore, sound if you see
nothing on the screen and start pressing buttons in hopes of bringing it back to life.
6. Bottom half of screen is black with sporadic color: There are a couple of problems that will
cause this symptom. The lower y-buffer board, y-sustain board, or the z/x-sustain board, on rare
occasions the power supply.
7. X-Y-Z Sustain Failure: This can cause different issues, these are some of the most common:
• Negative image
• TV turns on and then shuts down after 2 seconds
• Flashing pixels on screen
• There is sound, but no video
• The screen goes black, then returns to normal
• There are vertical colored lines, but no video
• There are vertical colored lines with sound
• There are vertical bars
• There are horizontal lines on the image
• The picture goes red after a while
If the problem seems to be coming from the Y-sustain, you also need to check out the buffer. To
do that, follow these steps:
If the fuse blows again, you will need to repair or replace the Y-sustain. (It’s often times much
easier and cheaper to replace the board than to fix it—unless you have a lot of experience doing
these repairs yourself).
1. No sound
2. No picture but has Menu display
3. Intermittent sound
4. No video from input
5. Picture distorted
6. Grey colored screen
7. Snow Picture
Signs of Plasma X-Y-Z Sustain Board Failure
Y-Sustain Board
If the Y sustain is bad, you cannot have a completely blue screen. It will either be a bad picture,
no picture or dead. It has nothing to do with the sound, unless buffers are shorted.
Lg Plasma reset:
If the red light is blinking in front of the TV and the TV does not switch on. Then remove the
back power cable from the TV. Press the on/off switch on the side so that you drain all the
residual power. Plug back the power cable. Switch on the TV using remote control. Once you see
the green light press the channel ( ) button do not let it go until the TV switch`s on. This process
will bypass the traditional power to switch on the TV instead the TV will be switched on using
the TV channel power to the TV
Z-Sustain Board
X-Sustain Board- ( buffers at bottom of panel) Always causes black vertical bars. If your
Plasma Screen has lines on the screen going from left to right, suspect Logic Board, Control
Board. Thin black horizontal lines on most Plasma TV’s is an indication of a bad board known as
a x driver board. Their may be a slight possibility it can be a small ribbon cable that runs from
the driver board to the plasma panel. Another possibility, it can be a bad panel. If your lines keep
getting worse, suspect a bad ribbon cable.
