Will this work for a plasma pn50a510p3f? Power cycling, but no apparently blown caps when open. Could they still be bad?

Caps do not "blow open" they may just have a slight bulge on top when they go bad.This repair is so cheap and easy, (if you know how to use a soldering iron) it is worth a shot if you have the typical symptoms of a failed power supply.

If you don't see swollen or bleeding capacitors, then the problem is likely elsewhere.

I don't know. Mine was a 40" LCD. And it worked great. I had 3 blown capacitors.

Mine makes no noise when the plasma wave part is on so I'm never sure if it's working! I think I would call the company and put this question to them. I called them once about something and they were prompt with their answers so might be worth a try. Sorry I can't help better than that. Mine only emits the whooshing noise of the fan and, again, I'm not even sure the Plasma part of it is working but it is cleaning the air where I need it so I haven't called the company to troubleshoot or verify. Good luck!

It just might I replace all the bloated up capacitors basically no more noice and taking long on turning on. But if it has lines going up and down thats a picture board problem. Hope this helps.

Hard to say without more info. Was it it hit by a power surge? I don't know about this particular model, but I had a different Samsung model TV that this happened to and I found out the power supply went bad. I figured that out myself by taking it apart and probing around with a meter. But, I am an electrical engineer and not that intimidating to me. I found the replacement power supply board online for $150. I replaced it and no problems since. If you problem is common for your model, you'll see it everywhere on the internet if you Google it. That is what pointed me in the direction to look on my TV.

Had the same problem until it finally burnt out. One of the large pins on the socket component's solder joint was completely black on the board. I successfully repaired my laptop using this component and following the instructions at insidemylaptop.com website http://www.insidemylaptop.com/disassemble-asus-n53s-laptop-fix-dc-power-jack/. I did not require any additional components as this one does include the socket that accepts the plug from the ac adapter.

The real issue is that there isn't a very good way to tell until you do a little bit of work. First, are there blown capacitors? If so, what size are they. They will give a number on the side. Once you know that, you can go up in size and be fine (which is actually good if you have this particular issue with them blowing) If that's the case, and you're getting a ticking sound and the display won't come on then I'd say go for it. As long as you can solder or have someone handy who can. It is not something you just try to go and do.

It would be better to use capacitors with a higher voltage rating. I believe the original failure problem was due to the 25v capacitors being unable to handle higher voltage peaks.

I plugged into one of the two 4-pin sata terminals on my Asus P5N-D M/B. These are not the colored SATA sockets. I can't remember if I used the provided disc or downloaded the cooler software from the manufacturer's website. In any case, the program didn't start right away. After a couple of repeated computer shut downs and start ups it suddenly began working, and has been ever since. Keep trying.

My power supply flaked out within 3 months of purchase. I was prepared though. I had purchased an extra one from ebay for a little less than $20.

I had Best Buy replace my LED with a Plasma. They were unfamiliar with the problem. Sort of surprising. But they were very nice about replacing.

Sounds like it is bad...I have used mine on 2 MSI boards and 3 asus boards and have had readouts on all to where I could fix the problem.

Hello Rick. I think you don't have problem becuase I installed the caps and I hadn't got any problem. Hope my answer help you. Best regards, Germán

Can you tell me what exactly worked? I just started looking into buying this television and am not following your blog. It would make me crazy if I had this problem because I've always had it with my Toshiba Plasma, which I'm replacing.

The current rating is what matters as you can use these at 115V as well as 12V. My application was 360W at 83V so I was running around 4.3Amps. We had no failures in multiple days (probably 20 hours worth or operation). This socket was being heated by the bulb in my application much higher that what you are planning so probably it will take 50W at 12V with no problem.

I had the same problem and ended up replacing one of the 4700uF capacitors on the board. This resolved my problem and only ended up costing me $4 to fix having all the other tools needed to perform the repair.

You have to be more specific about your problem. Is it plugged in correctly? Is there any visible damage? Did they ever work, or are they new?
