Smoking y buffer board

Y buffer board started smoking. Took it out and saw it was the transistor u5404. I just started working on tvs so I was wondering what might have caused this?

    and is it possible to fix the main board instead of buying a new one?

Usually cheaper to buy another board as individual parts are not sold--be aware the burning may be a issue elsewhere--you may replace the board and have it instantly burn up also---the Y board goes directly to the panel and it could be the real problem---fatal if it is.

Earlier today I heard some popping noise coming from down stairs. I rushed down to find my tv (Samsung PN51E530A3FXZA) on and still producing sound but no picture. I brought out the volt meter and started...

I think that the TV set is giving you the message that it is junk and will cost more to repair than replace
Smoke is a pretty good indicator that more than one component and board will be rubbish

How to fix Black Horizontal Line on Samsung Plasma TV (PN60F8500)

It is possible that the buffer board will fix your problem, but try removing, cleaning and reseating the flex cables between the buffers and the panel first. All it takes is a little bit of dirt or oxidation to open a connection and cause a line-out condition. Use a lint free cloth and a little bit of alcohol to clean them. Make sure to fully insert the cables and center them perfectly in the connectors or you will have even more lines. If the original line is still there after cleaning, then try replacing the board. Buy a board from a reputable dealer that will guarantee no problems with the board. If you still have the line even after changing the board, then the plasma panel has failed and the only fix is to replace the panel.
Always let the tv set for an hour unplugged before attempting any repair work. There are dangerously high voltages in plasma tvs that can cause severe shocks or even *****.

My coleman 18volt PMD8133XL drill smokes and has a burning smell when oressing triger

Hello, I hate when this happens to my tools. This could be a number of issues. I would think that the transistor that controls the motor speed is shot or the motor itself is loading the transistor causing the smoke, or the brushes internally of the motor are worn and causing the overheating, hence smoke. Is the unit new or well used?

I have a Dell 4201C-HD plasma and the picture comes out with hundreds of horizontal lines and like repeater shadows.

1. Check for bad capacitors and transistors both through mount and
surface mounted in the vertical section of your TV.
2. If no problems are found focus your attention on the tuner check
for broken connections wiggle your coax connection to see if the
problem clears also check for open inductor coils.
3 Check the vertical and horizontal output chip if they read shorted
replace

My bx2200 cut off as soon as it was turned on and started smoking?

It sounds like the power supply transistors have failed. You'll need to pull the clamps and get the numbers off of the transistors. It's also possible that the 47 ohm gate resistors have failed. After removing the old transistors, you need to check the resistors individually.

Since you're new to repair work, read the following page.

Basic Repair Introduction

Post the part numbers if they are incomplete and you can't find the correct replacements. mouser.com is probably the best place to buy small quantities if you're in the US.

You also need to check the output transistors to see if any are shorted. If they are, the repair will be more difficult (especially if there is damage to the driver board).
