    Panasonic Plasma

    How hard is it to replace boards in a TH46PZ85U PANASONIC PLASMA?

    Do you guys know of any pictures that i could look at to see what screws need to come out?

    thanks

    You just take out all of the screws from the back panel, and remove it. There will be a lot of them. The harder part is determining what board(s) are bad. It is not uncommon for more than one board to have problems in a Panasonic plasma.

      That question doesn't bode well. Usually the screws that hold the back in place are indicated by arrows in the metal or plastic. Please be aware that plasma TVs operate at high voltages and currents. 385 VDC at 3 Amps can seriously alter your perspective on life.

      The service manual is at Elektrotanya. You might also want to search that site for Panasonic Training Manual.

              THAT's the Problem! You have the wrong type.

              You need a Phillips screwdriver...

                      Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
                      by jm1234
                      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...

                      Hi everyone!
                      I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
                      So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.

                      Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
                      For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several...

                      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,...

                      Panasonic P42S30 Plasma - Pink sparkles
                      by Lintesir
                      My parents' Panasonic P42S30 died recently, and they asked me to have a look at it. I was able to identify the SN-board as the culprit, as it was shorted. After removing Q401, Q402, Q421 and Q422 the short was gone, so I replaced these components and that got the TV working again. However, when testing the tv a bit, I noticed quite bad pinkish sparkles on some colors. For instance the greyish bar on this forum seems to trigger it quite badly. I made a fullscreen test picture with only that color, with the below result.

                      There is about a 5cm high region at the top without any sparkles,...

                      Dead Panasonic Viera TX-P65STW50 Plasma TV
                      by badcappo
                      Hello, got a ST50 plasma TV for repair. No signs of life, not even blink codes. Opened it up to check the power supply, type MPF6914. Apparent issues from visual detection and measuring for shorts:
                      Diode type G972s6 - D101 with a short
                      Mosfet 06N90E - Q301 shorted
                      Fuse T5AH 250V - F103 blown
                      Diode D301 shorted
                      Relay DG1U-17VDC II - RL001 blown

                      I have not found a circuit diagram. Maybe someone here already dealt with a similar issue? Thanks for tips where else to check 😀...
