I have a Hitachi P50S602 plasma TV that is going into Safe Mode (auto shutdown) after about three seconds when I power it on and then the front LED blinks 5 times. The voltages off the PSU are testing good for the few seconds before it powers itself off. All the capacitors, resistors, fuses, etc. appear to be in good shape. Unplugging the various main boards - one at a time - does not make the unit stay powered on.
I was encouraged to get an oscilloscope to help me find the failed board/component since all other methods of diagnosis were failing. I got an oscilloscope with two channels, a TV trigger & a Line trigger. Now I just need to learn how to use the scope to test component/board in order to find the fault in the TV. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any assistance in the seemingly daunting endeavor. Cheers
