Default Plasma TV - any ideas on getting it working?

ha escrito:

Hi!

I've been given a Vision PM 4230 Plasma (the procudt code also comes
back as Orion so I'm guessing this is just rebadged), which doesn't
work.

When power is inserted, the power button goes orange, and when pressed,
goes green. No display appears and a buzzing sound comes from the back
(although there is no burning or other smell at all).

I know that sounds pretty vague, but I was just wondering if anyone
would have any idea how easy/cost efficient this may be to repair? I'd
be willing to spend a reasonable amount, as obviously I'd have a cheap
large screen at the end of it.

Thanks a lot!

Sounds like the power supply has shut down due to a short or other
problem. This set will need proper troubleshooting. If you haven't the
relevant experience or tools, I strongly suggest you NOT try to do it
on the cheap and do not tamper with it. You could endanger your life
and mess it up beyond economical repair. A trained tech OTOH, after
removing the rear panel, will easily be able to identify this fault and
give you an idea of how much it will cost to proceed. I recommend you
TAKE it to a repair shop!
