    TV Panasonic TH-50PZ85U 2 blinks

    I have TV Panasonic TH-50PZ85U, PS ETX2MM704MGU with 2 blinks issue.
    Does anybody have idea about this? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

      2 blinks indicates 15V SOS (failure.)

      This probably indicates a problem with the power supply.

          Thank you for posting a nice, clear photo. Makes a change for other posts on this forum.

          It looks like this power supply doesn't have a standby supply, just a main supply and a high voltage power supply.

          Are there any other power supply boards. Anything connected to the 2 pin P54?

          Are there any labels next to the connectors, on the top or bottom, which might indicate voltage test points?

          Do you have a multimeter?

              Okay, that looks good - there's a standby supply on there.

              Can you check the voltage on each of the pins at P55 with the board installed in the TV?

                I can't do it right now, cause I far from the TV set. I'll be available to do it later. Thanks.

                  The 2 blinks and 10 blinks error code on these Panasonics are related to the MC201 and MC301 stand up boards on the Power Supply. They are controllers for the 15V line and the 15V stand-by. There is a small SMD ceramic cap on each of these boards that is prone to failure. I can't remember which cap it is but if you can get good clear pictures of MC301 and MC201 I should be able to tell you.

                  If I remember right MC201 is related to the 2 blink error and MC301 is related to the 10 blink error. While you can fix just one or the other I would replace the cap on both boards because when one fails the other is usually soon to follow. I will look through my info for the value of the cap that fails and get back to you.

                      These little brown/beige devices are ceramic capacitors.

                      With power OFF and TV unplugged from the power socket, use your multimeter to test the resistance from one end to the other. Set your meter to the 200 ohm range.

                      If you see a reading of less than 10 ohms, I would say the capacitor is shorted.

                      If you meter shows a single "1" on the display, this does not indicate a resistance of 1 ohm, but confusingly >200 ohms resistance, a good capacitor would show this, as would probes which are not touching.

                        Normally a shorted ceramic cap would indicate it is bad but the ceramic caps on these boards become leaky and do not allow the voltage to rise high enough to reach the threshold voltage and turn on the controller IC. It will not read shorted or bad on any meter but it is most likely bad.

                        If you are looking at the boards from the side with the controller IC it is the cap near the top left corner of the IC. I would recommend replacing that cap on both boards or you might have to open it up again in a few days to replace the other one. I have not found the value of the cap but will let you know when I find it.

                          Meter shows: >200 ohms - @ 200 ohm range, >2000 ohms - @ 2000 ohm range in one detection and 688 ohms @ 2000 ohm range in opposite detection. Thanks.

                            Ok I found the value. It is 1uf. It is only handling 13.5V but I would recommend a 50V cap to be safe. Just make sure that it is the right size. Like I said you will not be able to find anything wrong with this cap on a meter or cap checker but it is bad. It is leaky and therefore the voltage does not rise to the 13.5V that the IC needs to turn on and in turn the 15V will not turn on giving the 2 blinks. I would recommend replacing the cap on both boards.

                                  It's hard to find 1.0 uf 50v SMD 0603. Are you sure about capacity? may be 0.1 uf. Thanks.

                                          by Andre Gilbert
                                          Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing here🤔?
                                          Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting 😂.

                                          TV Model: Panasonic TC-P55ST50

                                          by Biruslapio
                                          Bought this TV used not working, panel flashed briefly on power up and it was blinking 8 times, a quick look on SS board revealed a common fault on the 3uF 250V capacitors, C201 to C205 (C1620X in the service manual), the solder joints were all cracked, C201 and C205 pins were darkened and some sparking had occurred on them, C201 was split open and clearly overheated in its last hours, replaced that one and resoldered the others, 8 blinks fixed.

                                          Also the previous owner broke the antenna connector by taking the TV out of the wall mount forgetting to unplug it, I desoldered the tuner...

                                          Hi,
                                          anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
                                          It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
                                          I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
                                          I checked that board for any obvious faults...

                                          Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
                                          by Alicat
                                          Hello,

                                          Stopped by this site trying to fix my parents Panasonic Plasma TV.

                                          Model number is TH-50PZ85U

                                          Power comes on and the red power light stays on solid.

                                          Did a few checks like hold the power button on for 60 seconds, hold the - Volume while holding the menu button, no luck, still@ blank grey screen as the screen lights up very vague.

                                          I also hear a few clicks.

                                          I also think my parents said there was a thunderstorm and the TV failed after that.

                                          Section 6 in the service manual talks about power and no screen,...

                                          Hello all,
                                          As the title states, I followed the troubleshooting guide located here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/23...page=53#manual, which concluded the 'A' board needs to be replaced. Looking around the net and eBay, I see that there are repair services for the board (TNPH1043UE? Not sure if it is a 'UE' as the suffix grid does not appear marked). What additional troubleshooting can be performed to ensure 1) this board is the problem and 2) since there are repair services, what are they fixing on the board?) I expected 3.3V not to be available anywhere...
