    Panasonic TX-P42C2B red light flashes 4 times

    Hi, I cant believe this!! I was just talking to my dad over the phone about joining this site and blow me down his TV packed up the other day!! He has a Panasonic TX-P42C2B that powers up and then give 4 red flashes, pauses and then give 4 red flashes again! He had tried a replacement PSU from an online TV parts supplier, he had taken it to a shop and they said it was was a short on the X or Y sus board (he cant remember what one they said) and wanted to charge him a fortune to fix it. Can I just check if that sounds correct and is it worth fixing as they said it might be the panel as well.

    Thanks again for such a great site, I hope to one day be able to help someone else out with my tips or advice

    Very common issue on this set, and it is as said correctly a short on the SC or SS (Y-sus / Z-sus)
    You seem to get a lot of TVs...

      Thank you for confirming this, am I just looking at those two possible boards to be replaced? or could it cost even more as my dad would happily pay about £100 to get it fixed.

          You can unplug SC, power set up: if it blinks 6 or 7 times, problem is with SC board.

          If it still blinks 10 times, unplug SS (SC should be reconnected), then if it blinks 8 times it is the SS board.

            HP Elitebook 850 G8 CAPS lock flashes 7 times and charging light always on
            by esqmooo
            Hi,
            I'm facing this issue since this morning. When I try to power it on, the CAPS lock light flashes 7 times (or 6 if not counting the first one when the power button is pressed). The charging light is always on as if the laptop was connected to the charger. The issues started gradually where it would flash the light but after trying multiple time it would power on. I tried to open it and I noticed one coil "1R0 2127" gets hot when the charger is connected. Note: the charging light directly comes on when the battery is connected or the charger is connected.

            Hp x360 15-u499nr power light flashes continuously.
            by CraigR
            I have an Hp x360 15-u499nr laptop with a continuous white blinking power light. The laptop does turn on. The light flashes with just the battery and if I disconnect the battery and just use the power cord it still flashes and with both connected it still does. I have updated the bios and tried a hard reset with battery unplugged and power cord unplugged and holding down the power button for 60 seconds. I can't think of what else to try.

            LG 39ln540v - red light flashes twice, no power to LED driver?
            by russpall
            Hi there,

            I've got a 39" LG 39LN540V that's just spontaneously stopped working! The symptoms are - when I plug it in, the red light will flash on twice, then go out, there's no visible picture, and I couldn't see anything using a torch on the panel either. If I press the power button (either remote or on TV), the red light comes on continuously. If I press power again, the red light flashes twice.

            The TV is using a power board EAX64905301. I've attached a diagram of the power output, I've tested the voltages with a multimeter and I'm getting the following:

            Samsung NP750QFG-KA3DE does not turn on , Blue LED flashes 3 times
            by Egidio85
            Hi everyone, I have a Samsung NP750QFG-KA3DE , MainBoard VESTA3-15 BA92-24515A

            the battery is charged. pressing the power button the blue LED flashes 3 times and then stays blue. then the sequence repeats.
            the fan does not start.

            I noticed that I have no power on the processor and it does not heat up. could it depend on the bios?​

            any advice on what to check?
