I have a Panasonic TH-42PZ77U; I am experiencing the 7 blink power issue. I did the usual troubleshooting by trying a new outlet and unplugging all the cables from the plasma. Then I downloaded the tech manual and went through the troubleshooting steps. When I unplugged the SU board the TV powered up so I ordered an SU board. When I installed the new SU board the same thing is happening. Could the SC board be frying the SU board when I power it up? Your help would be very much appreciated.

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times
The plasma panel is bad. When the SU or SD boards in this model go bad it is caused by a shorted electrode in the screen itself. It is not repairable. -

A bad buffer board can take out a sustain board.Muh-soggy-kneeComment

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times
Panasonic has designed their plasma TVs so well that the buffers are isolated from the SC board and vice-versa. I have never seen a Panasonic with a bad buffer that was caused by a bad sustain or a sustain damaged by the buffers.
Anyway, the OP stated that the TV did not throw a blink code when powered on without the SU board attached confirming that the SC board is fully working.Comment

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times
When I unplug the SU board and turn on the TV as the tech manual requested the screen turns on and I can see the menu. But I can only see the bottom half of the screen because the SU board is out. If the panel was bad would it power up and the screen turns on? As soon as I put the SU board back in the screen does not turn on and the power light flashes 7 times then pauses and repeats. If it is a buffer board how do I figure out which one?Comment

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times
Here is a service bulletin on these models. The SU is the buffer board that I was referring to. When the SU or SD boards go bad then you must replace the plasma panel as well as the culprit board (SU or SD). So unfortunately the TV is not economically repairable.Comment

So when I connected the new SU board it fried it when I powered it on correct?Comment

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times
Yes the screen fault immediately shorted the SU on power on. The rest of the boards are good including the SC and SD boards.Comment

Bummer, I searched the web for days before trying anything. You answered all my questions in a few minutes. Thanks for your help.Comment

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times
I have a 42P700U with the 7 blinks. I have gone thru the troubleshooting steps and now with the SU board disconnected it stays powered up. My question is can I hook the board back up and just disconnect the 4 ribbon cables that feed the display panel? I want to make sure it is not my panel that is bad. My thought is if the SU board is in fact defective it will still give me the 7 blinks with the panel disconnected.Comment

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times
If the panel really is defective the SU will have been damaged by the short and you should get 7 blinks but this also indicates an SU board failure so you have to take a chance.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times
After doing a visual inspection on the display panel I found a spot where the lines are broken. It looks like a small cross where there are no lines. What is this? Is this possibly a shorted panel? I am still waiting for my new SU board and I am afraid that if this is a short in the panel I am just going to fry the new board. I tried to take a picture of the defect but it is impossible due to the reflections. When I shine a light on the panel it is easily seen. I estimate the size as .09 wide by .06 up and down.Comment

That doesn't sound too good. Do a resistance check on the ribbon that goes to the buffer board where the defect is. Look for shorts to groundDid I leave the soldering iron on?Comment

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times
Just received the new used SU board and installed it. Same problem. Disconnected board and set powers up normal and stays on. I guess I got a bad board or there is something really crazy. I even disconnected the 4 ribbon cables going to the display and it does the same thing, 7 flashes of death.Comment

There are some 2N5307 or 2N3995 transistors on your board. Have you checked those for shorts?Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

NO, but I will look for them. They are on the SU board?Comment

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.
Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.
I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.
The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.
With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic... -
I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow
This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

My old plasma died when one night recently. When I got to it it was giving a 3.3v sos (3 blinks).
I chased my way through the PSU, and a board, with no results.
Replacing a few bulged caps in the PSU, I eventually got to the SC board that had piles of shorts, a quick cheap replacement from china and the tv powers up again, except
I only have the right half of the picture.
Left half is completely blank.
now the c3 board running this side of the screen has its 3.3 and 5v onto the buffer ic and its got the 60v, so that all seems good.
all the other voltage rails...09-24-2024, 04:39 AM -
I have two laptop hp15- cs1000tx with motherboard part no DAG7BDMB8F0 REV F
