AI Thread Summary
The Samsung PN50A450P1D plasma TV has a pink screen issue that may stem from various causes, including potential screen burn protection. Repairing such TVs can be costly, as technicians often replace entire boards rather than repairing individual components. Users are advised to check the Picture menu for tint controls and to search online for forums and manuals specific to their model for troubleshooting tips. Cleaning the internal components may help, but attention should be paid to any blinking lights on the boards, which could indicate further issues. Exploring circuit board part numbers online can lead to useful resources and potential replacement parts.

Need Help Fixing Plasma Tv... Please?

Got it for free it a samsung pn50a450p1d. The tv works fine except it screen color is pink with a little haze, can this be fixed?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
It could be due to a whole number of reasons. I think it is why you got the TV for free. TV repair is expensive these days because they only change boards and will not delve into the component level. Is it too bad to live with? If there's just a bit of pink colour caste, there may be a tint control in the Picture menu.
 
Sorry it took me awhile to reply. I opened the back off the boards look fine no singe marks or blown capacitors. I blew the words off with canned air there seemed to be very little dust. The one board does of a green blinking light though.
 
try searching on your model number and symptom.

Typing this string into Bing
samsung pn50a450p1d pink screen

returned a manual and some forums where folks discuss their repairs.. looks like pink might be some sort of screen burn protection scheme...

ecoustics.com was help to me a few years back.

Typing in the part numbers of the circuit boards sometimes finds interesting sites.
 
I did google samsung pn50a450p1d pink screen and got nothing i can try googling that board that has a green blinking light.
 
Here is the e-coustics thread that helped me:

probably there's a thread there for your set or one similar, look through herehttp://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/15130.html
poke at it with your voltmeter
and pay attention to the names of test points on the PC boards

search on part numbers of your circuit boards
mine were for sale all over ebay
but I think I found the place in Atlanta where everybody buys them to resell on ebay. I felt safer there.

good luck, old jim
