    Panasonic th-p50v20a - 4 blinks (sos4)

    I have a 4 blink code on P50V20A full HD about 14 months old.

    Interesting fault to say the least. I isolated the SC board and the blinks changed, green led lit on the SS and managed to measure VS at 204 volts under this condition for the 3 seconds the set powered up.

    When the Sc is connected 4 blinks and no led lit on that board or the SS and the set turns off straight away.

    So I've headed for the SC and so far there are banks of FETs and diodes dead short all over this board.

    No wonder the PSU is spitting out 4 blinks with dead shorts. The VS does not even get a raise when the SC is connected.

    I checked the buffers, nothing burnt and did not find any shorts.

    Here's the list and I am using the TC-P50VT20 GPF13DU Chassis service manual to fault find this as I can not find my exact model.

    Can any brainiacs out there help with datasheets or substitute parts? Searching is not getting me far. It's as if Panasonic use custom parts or numbers.

    Very frustrating.

    Here's another question. Has anyone used different revisions of Sc boards to what was originally installed in their Panasonics?

    I see the SC board is used on 42",46" & 50" models. having a quick look at the components there are some differences like CAPs between them but the 50" at a glance look the same.

      Can you show a picture of where the FETs show as shorted? I had a similar issue, but it was just one FET that was shorted, I was able to replace that and it worked.

        Do you mean on the board, or what heat sinks they are on?
        Just give me some time to work it out. There's 6 heatsinks with 9 parts off 7 of which were dead short .

          Sorry about the res. 7 dead shorts.

            I would say it's unlikely they are all bad. You will have to remove them to test them out of circuit. Are you sure the buffers are OK, too?

              Well guess what. I did and they are dead short. hard to believe that many in different spots.

              I tested gnd to the output of the buffers-no shorts. Then tested the inputs at the buffers from the sc board, no shorts either.

              Any tricks you know for testing the buffers? It's not an area I'm overly confident with.

              If this was a samsung ysus I'd have better luck finding components I reckon.

                It seems very unlikely to me. How are you testing them? From source to drain, is it reading zero or almost zero?

                  All pins are shorted no matter which way including reversing the polarity on a Fluke 73 in diode mode.

                  I'm talking .000. You can take my word on it. I would not believe it myself reading it but no bull. Quite incredibly strange!

                    Ok, maybe small lie. I can get 0.01 and 0.006 but same result both polarities and more than one direction still bad IMHO. Most are .000 though.

                      Try touching one probe on gate/source and the other on drain, this will ensure the FET is not being turned on by stray noise.

                          OK, try G-E for the "CGE" parts (they are IGBTs.)

                              So yep... they're all dead short. Something real bad must have happened. I don't know what, it might turn out better to replace the whole board.

                                Chicken. Where's your spirit? Dunno, I was told they were watching it and it just shutdown.

                                I just wish I could work out the specs but I have been lucky and a guy in the US is a liquidator with a pile of these New. Got a complete suite of boards for $115 AUD although only just ordered so won't count my chickens yet.

                                Obviously the main is no good here but hoping the rest matches up ok. Same panel but different SC & SS revisions but hopeful it will work.

                                No suggestions on what the part numbers mean for the dead components?

                                I've got a SC from a 42" but different component although very similar design layout.

                                So tempted to take pot luck with swapping the transistors but no specs so very risky.

                                  no just one is shorted.the rest are in paralell to it.pull em all and let the dmm sort em out.

                                    What? I have 7 pulled components already out and all dead short. What's left is no longer shorted.

                                      Well boards arrived and it looks like a pig in a poke. TV still not working and now SOS6.

                                      I guess a lost gamble. Hard to believe 2 SC board failures but replacement has no shorted fets at least.

                                      Followed the recommended fault tree, 15V & 5V supplied at SC board. Isolated SC20 that feeds to the "A" board and C10 on the "C1" board and faults goes to SOS8.

                                      According to the Tree, end result Replace SC board.

                                      I'm thinking maybe component level canibalisation and getting one board good.

                                      Any suggestions?

                                      Still have another board coming from different vendor.

                                      These are different revisions to my original but I still think they'll work.

                                      Original was AF, just Tried an AP and I think the next could be AW.

                                      Stay tuned for more giggles at my attempt to fix this.

                                        Well, up to my usual dodgey tricks. Just disabled SOS6 return to the "A" board and she's up and running. Service manual seems to have little or no voltage info.

                                        i'll measure VAD which to chassis was nearly 200V. I may have a quick look at my P42X14A fault finding and see how it compares.

                                        These SC boards must have some crazy bit failing to be able to still work and not burn up.

                                        false detect?

                                        OH, and I've earthed the SOS6 return which was sending about 4.4V. Will this destroy anything?
