    (Another) 7 BLINK TC-P60VT60 Panasonic - NEWBIE

    Greetings from SoCal I am new to this forum but not new to forum world. I come from Automotive end of side which is my main passion in life. Give the automotive nature, I love fixing and restoring things and I have in the past fixed many simple electronics, soldering, etc.. but this is a bit more involved so I found this forum, and I am very glad I did.

    I picked up a Panasonic TC-P60VT60 with the 7 BLINK error.
    Upon removing the back plate I found spider webs, dead spiders, and an amazing amount of dust. I did my best to clean the surface of the boards with a portable vacuum but will be using compressed canned air to do a more thorough job shortly.

    I have completed the following evaluations:

    1. Tested for grounded leads on the SD & SU boards and found none
    2. Disconnect the SD board from SC board - Power on = 7 Blinks
    3. Disconnect the SU board from SC board - Power on = 7 Blinks
    4. Jump SC50 on SC board - Power on = 7 Blinks

    At this time, based on what I have found, and if I am understanding it correctly, the suspect is SC board. I have removed the SC board and had a very close look at it but are unable to see any visual damage, burn marks or blown components. I have also not seen any noticeable signs of arching between the board and grounding screws. I would like to prove that the SC board is the issue, in perfect world identify the issue and attempt to repair it. If I am unable to repair it, I would like to identify the SC board to be an issue before purchasing a replacement.

    Question 1: What is the proper procedure to prove the SC Board being the issue
    Question 2: Is there a guide that I can follow to determine the component(s) on the SC board that are at fault.

    UPDATE: I believe I just found my answer to Q1 & 2 above:

      Thank you!! I spend about half an hour going through the 7 blinks troubleshooting flowchart in the TCP50s60 and realized my model is not specified in the models table, will it still apply? I followed the troubleshooting in the GPF16DU and it was short and sweet, at the end I still had 7 blinks. I believe this is due to VAD/VSCN. Is there a guide on checking these circuits ? Thank you !

        If you haven't already check the transistors on the heatsink/s, at least a short test, make sure none of the pins test short to either of the other 2 pins of said component.

          Unhook SU board and see if you still get 7 blinks, make all cable connections and dis-connections with tv unplugged from power, make sure all retaining/ground screws on all boards are tight not loose but not so tight as to crack a board, lock washers are recommended.

            Good evening - and thank you!
            I’ve done all of the above and with disconnecting both of the buffer boards I still receive the 7 blinks. I’ve tested all of the transistors and not finding shorted ones..

              Re: (Another) 7 BLINK TC-P60VT60 Panasonic - NEWBIE

              Received my new SC board today!! Is there a way to test the buffer boards while out of TV to ensure no shorts present ? Other than running meter along the buffer connections?

                Testing example there, for sure test before you install, I made the mistake of not testing a used buffer board I bought, installed it, tv didn't work, took it out sure enough it was shorted, but since I didn't test it before hand, I had no way of knowing if it was bad to start or if my Y board knocked it out, so had to eat that cost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6hxf9sARMY

                  Thank you!!!! Only clarification I'd ask for please is on the white plug, which lead is he putting the red probe on? I have the TNPA5794 and TNPA5793 .

                        Excellent !! Thank you so much - I just wanted to double triple check before hooking it up to power. SC board replacement repaired the TV.

                            Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                            by Tynan Dill
                            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...

                            Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
                            by sam_sam_sam
                            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

                            Panasonic TC-P54VT25 No image. A or D board?
                            by canadaboy25
                            I have a Panasonic TC-P54VT25 that will power on and prime the display but there is no image at all.

                            The panel is primed as there is a slight glow from the entire panel. This means the problem should be logic related. The service manual also confirms this and recommends replacing the A or the D board.

                            I have tried to get the TV to display the test sequence but I have been unable to and I don't even know if this TV has a test sequence or not. I tried following tom66's instructions in post #3 on this thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26790. There was...

                            Panasonic P50VT20B Plasma 12 Blinks, Power Supply or A-Board?
                            by Biruslapio
                            Hello, I've had this TV for 3 years, 2 years ago it stopped working signaling 12 Blinks, SOUND_SOS according to the service manual.

                            It has no VSUS or VDAT, and P15V has 1.0V instead, the same 15V goes to A board. F15V is ok and other main voltage rails.

                            It seems the power supply is defective, since unplugging D20 ribbon cable that goes from D-board to SC-board makes the behavior change, the TV stays on, there's no image nor VSUS, but 15V reads 2.4V, high enough to not trip the SOS 12 blinks, so it stays on, fans do not spin but I left it 2 hours, green led lit up...
