Change the revision number on a Panasonic Board!

[HooF]

ok. Here is the problem. I have a Panasonic TH-50PZ85U
It was hit by lightning but not thru the power side. The power turns on great no problems no blink codes.

The brains are pretty much gone. No display at all. With the lights off you can see the faint black background of a plasma screen waiting for pixles to display. Nothing else works. No menu.

I am down to the "A" board. Problem is it is a little hard to find.
TNPH0721 suffix AT

I have been able to find a few on ebay that are close however.... not the same suffix. I could however move the resister around and make it a AT? or can I?

If I find a exact cloan board and move ther resistor does it become a AT? or is that just a place holder?

Unlikely; that code indicates the particular load of components on it. You may be able to put a different board in it even if it has a different revision, it just might not have all the features...

You need to look at the side sticker on this. Based upon your part # i think you have model TH-50PZ85UA. You might also need to inspect the main model # sticker on the back, it may have an "A" on it somewhere that indicates the "A" version. It should be one of these 2 places.

And in answer to your original question, you will have to find/purchase the exact correct version. There is no such thing as "close enough" on these.
