    Panasonic TC-P50G10, 7 & 6 blinks

    I have been looking around on this site trying to find help fixing my G10 series plasma TV but figured a new post might be best. I have found lots of useful information but I am stuck between the 7 and 6 blink codes!

    One day my TV just quit on me and started giving me the 7 blink code. I found some instructions online on how to trouble shoot the boards. I took the back off of the TV and unplugged the SU board and still had 7 blinks. I disconnected the SD board and still got 7 blinks. I disconnected the SC board and got 6 blinks. I'm confused and don't know what this means. Why the change in codes? Does this mean that the SC board needs to be replaced? Is something else bad in addition to the SC board? I don't know what the next step is. Can someone help me please?

    Thank you for reading and hopefully someone in here can help me figure this out!

    Usually it is the SC board on this chassis.

      Thank you tom66!!! So why the change in blinks? Where is the best place to purchase a SC board?

        Probably the TV defaults to 6 blinks if it detects both 6 & 7 blinks, which will occur when SC has no power. As for purchase, not sure myself. The boards are in quite short supply.

          That makes sense. It's almost too good to be true that this could be fixed with just the swap out of a board. I was pretty proud of myself until I got the change in blinks and I got super frustrated! Can someone suggest to me what the place is to purchase a new SC board?

          I can't thank you all enough for all of the knowledge in this forum. I found so much useful information here.

            The best bet is often picking up a victim of a stray wii controller. A surprising number of TVs are damaged in such a way and they go for very little.

              Ha Ha!!! Never thought of that. Will the SC board work in all G10 series models or do you know if its specific?

                "U" or "E" etc on the end of the model # isn't important, as that's just the region code (USA, europe etc.)

                Screen size is where I'm not sure. I'm reasonably sure a 58" board would work in a 50" TV, for example, but I'm not certain, because the plasma panels are slightly different between models, and this affects the energy recovery (efficiency improvement.)

                        Ok, I will look some more!!! I have found it a lot cheaper but they are all "out of stock". That at least lets me know im on the right track. Thank you!

                            Just another idea.

                            If you want to be 100% certain it's the SC board, i believe that this model has the factory test option at SC50 onthe SC board. It's a small 2pin socket which you short and power on the set with the SC connected, buffers disconnected. If the board is good then it should power on with no SOS at the front. If it still blinks, most likeley SOS6 then that confirms it as a bad SC. If no then the SC passed and the true fault is the SOS7 and bad buffer board/s.

                            It also mentions not to power on for more than 30secs.

                            It does mention SOS6 could also be SS but I'm thinking since you started SOS7 if it then went SOS6 with buffer disconnection and SC50 jumpered it would be SC.

                            As far as I know any buffer board disconnected be it one or two will cause SOS7 with out that jumper.

                              Im not sure I know how to short the 2 pin socket but I know it has one. Can you explain it better to someone who knows nothing about TV's! I'm honestly learning as I go so forgive me if I dont understand. I would like to test it though! I did however find an SC board for $69!!

                                The 2 pins need to be shorted together or electrically connected to complete the circuit and create the bypass. Alligator cip, hard drive jumper connector may work. I have used both.

                                  Sorry to jump in so late, but when the FET went out on the SC in my 42" Panny, I got the same 6 blinks/7 blinks code that you saw when my SC was disconnected.

                                    John, did you get 7 blinks? Or 6?
                                    I think it was 7 because that is a common issue. 6 blinks is SC, SU, SD or panel.

                                      I have to look at my notes. I remember that originally it was 7 blinks. With the sd or su disconnected I think it flashed 6 blinks once then 7 blinks. If I remember correctly, with the sc unplugged, it turned on.

                                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                                          This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

                                          After all of...

                                          Panasonic TC-P54VT25 No image. A or D board?

                                          I have a Panasonic TC-P54VT25 that will power on and prime the display but there is no image at all.

                                          The panel is primed as there is a slight glow from the entire panel. This means the problem should be logic related. The service manual also confirms this and recommends replacing the A or the D board.

                                          I have tried to get the TV to display the test sequence but I have been unable to and I don't even know if this TV has a test sequence or not. I tried following tom66's instructions in post #3 on this thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26790. There was...

                                          Panasonic P50VT20B Plasma 12 Blinks, Power Supply or A-Board?

                                          Hello, I've had this TV for 3 years, 2 years ago it stopped working signaling 12 Blinks, SOUND_SOS according to the service manual.

                                          It has no VSUS or VDAT, and P15V has 1.0V instead, the same 15V goes to A board. F15V is ok and other main voltage rails.

                                          It seems the power supply is defective, since unplugging D20 ribbon cable that goes from D-board to SC-board makes the behavior change, the TV stays on, there's no image nor VSUS, but 15V reads 2.4V, high enough to not trip the SOS 12 blinks, so it stays on, fans do not spin but I left it 2 hours, green led lit up...
