    Panasonic FM in NEW equipment?

    So, I've been using Panasonic FM series almost exclusively for recapping. Over the years it's always pissed me off that I've had to go to the trouble and expense of replacing garbage capacitors with good ones because the cheap manufacturers wanted to save a few pennies. It just occurred to me that I've never actually seen ANY electronics that had any Panasonic FMs in it. No TVs, no motherboards, no power supplies, nothing! Plenty of Rubycons, Nichicons, UCCs, but not a single Panny, what gives?

    Has anyone ever seen an FM or even an FC in anything that wasn't already recapped?

      Now that you mention it.. nope.
      FL and FJ on some motherboards, but I've never seen FM/FR/FC in anything so far..

          I saw a Dell Optiplex 960 cracked open on someones desk the other day (hard drive problems). There were some Panasonic caps in it, not sure of the series. Actually now that I think about it, there were two of the machines side by side only one had Panasonic, the other had Rubycon. Maybe Dell learned their lesson?

              Probably FJ. FJ is common on motherboards. FJ is not sold to the consumer afaik.

                  Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
                  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 😂.

                  Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                  by AquaMan Ua
                  Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                  Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1 BIOS repair
                  by aa10aa10
                  Good day,

                  I have tried to remove BIOS supervisor password from Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1. Model number CF-33AENABTG, unfortunately I don't have any other info.

                  I read the BIOS using afuwin, edited it and tried to flash new edited BIOS using afuwin. Unsuccessfully. Afuwin showed "Error: Problem erasing flash." starting with 0x00040000 and stoped. Then I tried many other options to flash BIOS from Windows without any luck. Finally i rebooted the device - and no post. Afterwards I have read the corrupted bios chip (MX25L12873F) using EZP2010 programmer....

                  Panasonic part number in service manuals
                  by Yanleb
                  In the Panasonic service manuals, both in the board schematics and in the part listing, the part numbers that are given are Panasonic part numbers instead of the actual part numbers.

                  This is especially annoying for small SMD components like diodes and transistors when you only have 1-3 digits printed on the component body.

                  For an example, look at the attached PDF.

                  Do you have a way to cross reference the Panasonic part number with the actual part number?

                  Thanks....
