Disclaimer:
WARNING! Please make sure that your TV is unplugged, and that you are protected from static electricity. There are various ways to eliminate static electricity, but the most common way is to use a grounding wrist strap. Take photos and notes often to help remember the location and orientation of the parts and wires. And feel free to pause and backtrack through this tutorial as much as needed.

Materials Needed:
To be best prepared to replace the Y-Buffer Board inside of your TV, you will need the following materials:
• A pair of latex gloves.
• Your ShopJimmy.com replacement Y-Buffer Board.
• A pair of needle-nose pliers.
• Both a flat-head and phillips screwdriver.
• And a cup to hold all screws, clips, and any other small items. So let's get to it shall we?

Instructions:
• Locate your TVs identification label and take note of the brand name model number, serial number and model code if present.
• Unscrew and remove the back cover.
• The Y-Sustain or YSUS board is located on the left side of the chassis. The Y-Sustain connects to the PDP assembly through a buffer system most commonly called a Y-Buffer or a Scan Drive. This buffer system can be comprised of one or two boards or can be built directly into the Y-Sustain. Some manufacturers suggest replacing the Y-Sustain board and all Y-Buffers, as it can be difficult to pinpoint faulty boards.
• Carefully unplug all ribbon cables by hand.
• Using your finger flip up the tab on the ribbon connector and gently remove the ribbon. Please do not use a screw driver to open ribbon connectors as it can cause damage to the pins.
• Unscrew and remove your bad Y-Buffer Board.
• A partial part number for this item can be found printed on the board.
• Search your partial part number on http://www.shopjimmy.com to find a compatible replacement.
• Click on the search results to view important product specifications. Verify that your original board matches all requirements noted in the product description prior to purchase.
• Insert all screws to secure your ShopJimmy New Y-Buffer Board to the chassis.
• Reconnect all ribbon cables.
• Gently guide the ribbon back into the connector, match the line printed on the ribbon cable with the edge of the connector, and close the tab on the top.
• Return the back cover to its original position and secure all screws.
• This ShopJimmy replacement Y-Buffer Board does not require any manual configurations in order to function. Simply plug in and power on and your TV will function as if new.
