Stick it in the vise lad!Pioneer plasma model PDP-V401. Original symptom: shut off after seconds or
minutes or hours of operation. Power LED blinked error code 6 (as best I
can
determine the meaning of this code from Googling (I have no manual) this
means PS fault).
Replaced 16 electrolytic caps in the main PS that measured high ESR.
Now when first powered on after an overnight rest, it will shut off
immediately (stays on for maybe 5 seconds). After power cycling the main
switch (can't be done via remote -- must use the switch on the back), it
will
run all day without problem.
All PS voltages are OK (factory sticker inside lists them); all are a few
tenths high (ie, 5v = 5.04).
What next step would you take in troubleshooting this PS?
Thanks.

That might very well be the defining symptom. What is the circuit
difference in the way the unit turns on and off via remote, and by
flipping the switch?
When it's turned off by the switch in the back, it's really off, just as
if you'd pulled the plug.
When you turn it off with the remote, some parts of the set are still
on, at least enough to allow it react to the remote. This means that the
power supply is still doing something, or at least trying to.
Okay, so let's go from there. What is or is not happening when the remote
control is used that causes the near-instant shutoff, that is not or is
happening when the main power switch is cycled?
Low ESR is -good- for an electrolytic cap.Were any of the caps bulging? Perhaps electrolytic spilled on the
circuit traces causing a sneak path?
No spilled caps. Just low measurement on ESR meter.
Uh, right. They were *high* ESR...Low ESR is -good- for an electrolytic cap.

You've missed a capacitor or an open circuit resistor in the PSU
primary, specifically in the startup supply that feed an SMPS controller
chip before the main PSU starts.
Check the high value resistors and the low value capacitors (usually
under 100uF) in the primary circuits.
If you feel happy working on energised mains fed equipment then while
the PSU is in the faulting state, check for voltages on the outputs (if
you know the voltages expected then a bunch of LEDs with appropriate
series resistors can be very useful for missing voltage checks)
Power cycle it and then check again.
Bets are that it's not one single PSU, but a couple or more possibly on
the same board. Probably one of them isn't starting up correctly after
being off for a few hours and/or cooling down.
All PS voltages are OK (factory sticker inside lists them); all are a few
tenths high (ie, 5v = 5.04).
That's within 1% and the accuracy of your meter comes into play as well
at that sort of margin, I'd expect the voltages to be +/- a couple of
percent minimum, possibly up to 10% and still be OK so I don't think
there's anything to be concerned about there.
What next step would you take in troubleshooting this PS?
Go back and check the rest of the components one at a time.
Thanks.

Thanks, Jango. I'll check it out.Hey Dave, i've been trying to fix a hitachi 50" plasma with no VS and
Va (No pic audio works fine though). Initially i thought the power
supply was bust, i googled Vcago and Vcego on a hunch ( 2 pins on a
connector coming from logic pcb) and that led me to

This guy, John, seems to have a lot of experience on plasmas. Maybe
you could post one in there and see what he says.
Turned out that a blown panel driver on my Hitachi lower Y-buffer pcb
was ordering logic to shut down panel supplies in ps.

The manual you have is probably this one:In case you haven't noticed it, at

Thanks for the pointer. But this is just a "technical manual", not service
(ie, repair) manual. Contains installation (including mounting on a stand),
picture adjustments, etc.. Nothing re. module or component troubleshooting.
This site is not alone; most of the sites with plasma manuals have this one,
and they all describe is as "service manual". I ask for a peek at the table
of contents before paying, and so far have come up with no service manual.
Thanks for the other ideas. I'll see how they pan out.
Hi Franc,I suspect that you may have a power sequencing issue.
