Sony PFM-500A3WU plasma panel
I've got this Sony plasma monitor here that an aquaintance picked up for
free. From what I hear it was dropped, though initial inspection revealed that the glass panel is intact. Powering up the unit results in a quick flash of the screen lighting up then the unit shuts down, blinks the power indicator several times and repeats the cycle. Opened the thing up and found no signs of physical damage but to my dismay the boards along the right edge of the screen with the driver chip blobs on them have two chips on each board with what appears to be craters blown in them. I'm not experienced with plasma screens at all but these boards appear to be directly bonded to the glass panel. Is there any hope of salvaging this unit? Obviously I lack the tools to do it myself but is it even worth looking into having done or would it be best to scrap the thing or sell it on ebay? Seems this model currently retails for around $6k, ouch. |
