Can you check this component out.

Its a smd capacitor, should be able to use any 1uf smd cap to replace it.

Here is where i found the info.

attached is a piture of the PA board that i question as faulty. the 3 test points marked in red are the ones that can set off the 10 blink error. only the 3.3v one has a conection to ground.

I dont fully understand what you mean, still a newbie here.

Can you show us a pic of what you mean. Try get a pic with your dmm too whilst showing us the ground.

That is part of the power board which is not my problem. the power from the power board is not getting to the DG board which is why the 10 blinks displays. and im thinking he PA board may be the problem.

Ok, this is getting slightly over my head, i will have to leave it to others as i have never tinkered with a plasma.

Well,

with the astounding amount of help(i say that sarcastically) i finally found the problem. The PA board did in fact have a shorted Main 3.3V which put the tv into shutdown. i swapped the PA board today and im one step closer. that solved my 10 blinks but sadly now i have 11 blinks for a fan SOS and i found 2 of the 3 fans to be defective so now i need to swap those out and hopefully then see a lit up screen. but as for the 10 blink problem it was the PA board so anyone with the same problem stumbling upon this looking for answers check the test points on the PA board labeled TPM33V, TPS5V, TPS9V for a connection to the ground. one probe to the test point the other to the chassis or grounding pad where the mounting screws go. a connection to ground = bad board.

You have to remember that we are unpaid here, we are only doing this as a hobby, we get little thanks for it, just a kick out of saving something from landfill. I'm a student, other people have jobs.

On a lighter note, I doubt you have two failed fans, check if they are getting 12VDC, and check if giving them a flick makes them spin up.

Okay, this pisses me off. As a more senior member here, I won't let your comment go by so casually.

Two members in UK here generously tried to help you by offering suggestions. They are under no obligation to do so. They could be doing something else with their precious time and energy.

If you don't like the level of help you are getting here, there are other forums you can ask for help.

@gilly1984, now do you understand my comments in your "what do you get out" thread?

I understand the concept of this being a donation of others time and knowledge it can just be frustrating when 4 different forums yield no results once the problem is known to not be as simple as one hoped.

I took the working fan and plugged into all 3 different plugs on the PA board to verify the ports are good which thhey are and switched the bad fans with th good fan wire and so on and so forth and no life came from 2 of the fans in any arrangement. when the good fan spooled up i tried flicking the "bad" fans but they did nothing. removed the bad fans and visually inspected and wired them to a direct 12 volts which did nothing. i wired a 12v 0.1A fan into one of the spots and used the third plugs jumper that was in the PA board from a different tv and still 11 blinks. not sure if i replace the jumper with another 0.1 fan that it will pickup on the energy draw and forget the error. clearly i need to replace two fans but the original 0.06A fans are nearly $25 a piece but identical fans that are 0.1A are $15 for a set of four I would just hate to findout im drawing more current then the board can produce or drawing more current and having the SOS detect set off 11 blinks every time.

Hi guys, extremely new to the forum. Having the same problems with the exact same Panasonic TV. This might sound really odd, but when you test a circuit for the required voltage, is the set plugged into the wall, or is the board removed and you're just using your voltmeter to test the connection points? If it sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about, it's because I pretty much don't. But dang it, I'm not ready to throw the set into the landfill if it's a simple board replacement or something like that. Any and all detailed suggestions will be very welcomed. Thank you for your time.
