    Problem with Panasonic TH-50PZ85U

    Hi, I have a Panasonic TH-50PZ85U. i have only owned this TV for about 3-4 years. This is the second peice of crap TV that has quit on me within less than 5 years. Is that all we're getting out of these $1000-$2000 TV's now?

    Anyhow, i was hoping someone could give me a little insight. I turned the TV on today and shortly after, it just quit. It's split right down the center with the left half black, and the right half distorted to the point where not much of anything can be recognized. It isn't acknowledging any kind of input at all.

    I did come across the service manual for it which will be a huge help, but i really don't know where to start. I guess the power supply would be a good place. I can't get it to go into service mode at all. When i tried holding the volume button then pressing the Menu button it did go into the rest mode, but came up with "Checksum:C5" which can barely be seen, because the left half of the screen is black, and the right half is distorted.

    I was looking at the block diagrams... perhaps it could be the D-Board, or the SS-Board. I guess the first step is going to be to dig into it and see if there's anything obvious.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW, no blinking error codes or anything like that to work off.

    Thanks,

    Mike

      Panasonic Tx-40cx400b top left half screen not displaying correct
      by armoured_smiler
      Hi,

      Trying to work out if this is TFT problem or TCon issue.
      The TV powers up but the top half of the screen, from the right it is OK, but as you look across to the left halfway across it starts get duller and duller until it is very dark on the lefthand side, currently I trying to clean the remote as it seems to have something film wise on the pads stopping it from registering buttons pressed.

      Also when changing the screen size of Windows PC display to say to a smaller pixel sizewindow, the original window displayin the top left stays/takes a few seconds to disappear?...

      panasonic TH-42PC77U plasma television half screen problem
      by renech
      hello,
      I hope someone on this forum can assist me.
      I have a panasonic TH-42PC77U plasma television.
      the lower 1/2 of the screen has become flaky....in and out, then finally goes black and you can only see the top portion.
      i have performed the reset to default settings quite a few times. Panasonic recommended..did not believe this would help...it didn't.
      I have removed the back panel and looked around for something obvious...burn marks in a board, etc....nothing obvious...
      I have read some posts that suggest the problem is related to the boards on the left...

      Panasonic Plasma screen interference on left half of screen
      by Zelek11
      My Panasonic Plasma model P55VT50 has started displaying "interference" on just the left half of the screen only (left when facing the screen). Sometimes it's concentrated in about the first 30 seconds after startup, then disappears. Other times it's fine at startup and then randomly does it later on. When it flashes the interference it's very quick and doesn't stay on the screen unless it flashes repeatedly in a row.



      This image is a screen shot from a video I took. This is an example of the interference at its worst. Often the interference is much smaller...

      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 TH-50PX75U top half of screen blank
      by canadaboy25
      Hey guys, I was given a Panasonic plasma because the top half of the screen was black but the bottom half was still working normally. Sometimes the top half would flicker on and off. I tried reseating all the ribbons and cables thinking it was a loose connection but it made no difference. After I fooled around with it for a while it was working most of the time with only the odd flickering on the top half. There was no real correlation between my tests and it starting to work. I set it up and started using it and it was perfectly fine 98% of the time. I used it like this for a couple months with...
