Re: th50px60u panasonic plasma issue

Pin numbering varies depending on the connector but it will always be unambiguously defined (well... on a Panasonic at least, no telling about other manufacturers.) For example the configuration you describe:

12
34
56
78

etc.

would be labelled at 1, 2, 7 and 8.

As far as probing the voltages at the pins, there is a small amount of exposed metal where the pin is crimped into the connector. Press against where the wire joins and you should measure a voltage. Note, the black probe (COM) should be on the chassis (one of the wall mount bracket screw holes works well) and for the vast majority of measurements it will not need to move from this position.

Thank you Tom for your response.

I noticed yesterday when i looked at the board, there is a numbering scheme on the edge of the first two pins [1 2]. Perhaps that is Panasonic's way of designating the numbering scheme? (Sorry i am not at home now, otherwise i would have taken a pic for you).

Regarding how to measure the voltage for a particular pin. If i am understanding you correctly, i will insert the positive probe (of the voltmeter) into the exposed metal from the TOP of the connector? I took a snapshot from the Training Slides you originally sent me, and added an arrow to show exactly where i'd place the +ve probe of the voltmeter. Am i mistaken with my understanding? Please advise

Regards,
Sam

Re: th50px60u panasonic plasma issue

swakeem, did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have the same Panasonic TH50PX60U that has no power/no blinks sometimes. Other times it powers on just fine. It wasn't working today, so followed the training guide to that exact step you were at in your last post. I have 0V on pin 13 of connector P25 on the P board and the guide says to replace the DG Board.

I'm just wondering if it's really that simple and whether that solution worked for you?
