Hi,

I recently replaced the power supply in a Pioneer PDP 434PU and left the back panel off, while I powered it up. I know now this was stupid, but did not at the time. I was wondering if any one knew the code sequence to remove from service mode or factory mode or whatever mode it is in? I saw a thread from a few years ago with some information but there was no mention specifically of the PDP 434PU. Does anyone know the code to place back in use? I am tired of watching my 27" Sony and my wife is ready to shoot me. Looking for any help. Please contact [email protected] if you can help.

Thanks

This is the document for resetting the trap switch. If this doesnt work you will most likely need to buy the service manual for your model (few hundred bucks) or call someone out to do it for you (few hundred bucks).

If i were going to bust your b@lls i would ask you "how much did you save by installing the power supply yourself?" in an effort to make you realize how its actually costing you more money than it would to have called the pioneer tech out in the first place. Luckily i am not the type of guy who would give you a hard time :)

Thanks for the information. I will give it a shot!

Cost of the power supply was $170. Service Tech wanted $725.

$350 for part.
$75 for travel.
$300 for labor.

Worth every penny! Just next time I put the back on before I power up!

$725? Ouch.. maybe i should take a TV repair course. Does he buy you dinner with that? $300 for labor? Is he watching TV while he does it?

To be fair.. the part probably costs him more than you can get it for online thru his distributors. Its common for us to pay twice what parts cost online. The travel charge is fair. It might seem high but after you total up what it really costs to own, maintain and drive his vehicle hes breaking even. The labor is ridiculous IMO. Should take him an hour tops and theres no way hes worth $350 an hour.
