    Panasonic PT-52LCX66/PT start-up problem

    This tv is about 4 or 5 years old. (bought before the big price drop)
    Since replacing the lamp 6 months ago, the power on feature has been very intermittent. It may take as many as 10 attempts of button pushing to initiate the picture.sometimes it will start at the first attempt.
    It appears that the lamp cooling fan circuit is not being satisfied, but I am not sure why.
    When it fails to start there may be one of two light indications.
    Either a) red-light blinks once every 3 secs or so
    Or b) red-light 4 blinks, orange light 3 blinks.
    I have reseated the lamp several times and removed the back and any dust from the rear grilles.
    The replacement lamp is a $100 eBay item.
    When started, the tv fine.

    I have a similar issue with the same TV- about every 2 weeks, it won't start- usually will after a few tries, but lately it has had to sit for a few hours. Did you ever find an answer Peter? From what I have read of other TV power-on issues, bad caps sure seem a likely candidate for the root cause of this, but have not pulled the set apart yet to look.

      I have a manual for a PT-50lcx70
      Error codes as follows:
      Red light 3 blinks - Lamp failure
      Red light 4 blinks - abnormal lamp temperature
      orange light 3 blinks - abnormal voltage (sub+5v line)

        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 hereπŸ€”?
        Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting πŸ˜‚.

        Panasonic P58V11B 8 and 12 blinks error "fix"
        by Biruslapio
        Bought this TV used not working, panel flashed briefly on power up and it was blinking 8 times, a quick look on SS board revealed a common fault on the 3uF 250V capacitors, C201 to C205 (C1620X in the service manual), the solder joints were all cracked, C201 and C205 pins were darkened and some sparking had occurred on them, C201 was split open and clearly overheated in its last hours, replaced that one and resoldered the others, 8 blinks fixed.

        Also the previous owner broke the antenna connector by taking the TV out of the wall mount forgetting to unplug it, I desoldered the tuner...

        Epson 5040UB Projector No Lamp Strike Stuck in Startup - Blinking Status/Lamp Lights
        by vestaviascott
        Hoping someone here can put me on the right track. I'm trying to troubleshoot/flowchart the "internal projector error" on my newly acquired Facebook Marketplace bought Epson 5040UB projector (3LED, not DLP). Owner said it needed new lamp, actually error code blink pattern indicates "Internal Projector Error, call Epson support". Unit is out of warranty as of 8/19

        Here's what happens:

        1) Power on
        2) Blue power indicator lights and the lens cover motor opens the lens cover, light fan noise heard
        3) Blue status light flashes for appx 4 minutes...

        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...

        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,...
