    Seriously, I'd start a separate post. Following 2 separate people fault finding a board could get messy.

    I'm going to assume you do not have a copy of the service manual? Check out the schematic which explains all. 1 & 5 are connected.

    measure pins 3 & 5 though. Check Q701,702 for short and R707 burnt or open cct.

    All these models have the same SC as yours. TC-54PS14, TC-P54G10 if you can't get the exact manual.

        Asuming freakaftr8, you're still watching this thread, my SC is also same, TNPA4844. I will check ic773 and report back.

        I would start with Isolating the SU/SD Boards using the "2009 Technical Guide", http://www.scribd.com/doc/80432198/P...echnical-Guide.

        Go to Slide #51 and Slide #63. YOU MUST JUMPER SC50 (picture on slide#65- Use a single aligator clip or smaller hard drive jumper)
        to get this to work. Do the steps on #63, DO NOT LET THE SET RUN over 30 SECONDS. If the set comes up and runs, YOUR SC board is OK, replace or repair your SU/SD boards. I found them for $5 ea on ebay. If you still get 7 blinks, we are both on the same cruise line (boat!), I'll paddle faster! (probably a bad SC component(s))

          Hi smartjohn. Yep I think we're both on the carnival triumph here. Lol. Yes I used the service manual to isolate the boards. And with the su and sd pulled from the sc and sc50 jumpered still shutdown with sos7.
          Did I leave the soldering iron on?

            Re: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma - Seven red blinks Dead No power

            General question: What should I be measuring 5V_F_A (B) with respect to? VFG? I replaced IC564 and the current draw from my 5V test supply dropped to about 200ma, down from over 400ma.

            So I decided to pop the SC board back in and try running in isolation (NO SU/SD, and SC50 jumpered). Same damn 7 blinks! VSUS pops up for 2 seconds as before then cuts out.

            I stuck my meter on the 5V_F_B output of the regulator IC725, fired it up again and I was getting -160V to chassis gnd?? so i guessed I must not be ckecking relative to the correct gnd?

              Lol, yeah I hope our cruise will end better than that one, eventually!

              Tw2005 has fixed at least 2 of his SC's so we know it can be done. I think I am going back to the print (pg 73 - 76) and start checking all chips vcc to input / output resistance. I may hang a current limited 15V supply on IC791 pin 4/5 DC-DC converter and see if I get more hot potatoes somewhere.

                Re: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma - Seven red blinks Dead No power

                Ok what am I doing wrong? Pin 11 and 12 of ic791 are supposed to be 16 and 32v. I'm getting an output of -141 after 2 seconds goes up to -175vdc! Are these output pins? The schematic shows so..
                Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                  What do you get 11,12 with respect to pins 1or 2 (gnd). -175V sounds like the VAD voltage level. I'm having trouble working out the cct too?

                    Getting the same reading grounded to pins 1 and 2 as well.

                        Well I also tapped in a 9v battery resistor limited to 5v to pin 11 and 12 of ic791. Nothing got warm at all. Used freeze spray as well. I did notice a current drop on pin11 but it might be the d583 indicator led causing the load drop. I don't mean to sound dumb but do you suppose it could be a malfunctioning dc dc converter ic791? I noticed other pics on the Internet of the converter covered in orange instead of black.

                          My sc does not have that setup but my other TV does. Same gen as yours but the HD model 42". I never did figure out what exactly failed however I do know none of the FETS had shorted and VAD was low below the minmum threshold which tripped SOS7. VSCN also bad.

                          There was no response from the trimmer adjustment, just stayed the same. I ended up disabling the SOS cct and got the TV to stay on but a little flickery. But that was after I managed to fluke the TV on by repeatedly switching it on & off.

                          It almost sounds like your board has not shorted out. Any FETS blown?

                          I guess you could hook your probes up to the test points and see if that gives any clues but bypassing protection has it's risks of more damage??

                          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21255

                          This shows the voltages affected on mine, but I never worked it out and it seemed tto hard to track down panasonic components so i gave up and tossed it out.

                          wish i still had it now as a new challenge since I got lucky with my 2 TNPA5081 boards.

                            No no fets blown. I like your thinking of disabling sos7. How would you go about it? Disconnecting pin 21 from the sc20? I removed c566 and still getting 3.5 at pin21 sos7.
                            Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                              Nevermind. I cut the trace to pin 21 on sc20. Fired right up! Perfect picture! Tpvad at -175vdc and tpvsus at 30! I don't get it but...

                                Smartjohn. Give it a shot if all else fails and you remove the shorts from the ic's. it sounds like your path is a different one since you have fets shorted. I can tell you thou that with sc2 removed pin 11 of dc regulator was outputting 9v. That's low but pin 12 put out 25v

                                Tw2005 thank you for the advise. Guess I got lucky. After all the tnpa4844 is unobtainable and if it failed I would prob need an a board as well but, hell it worked.

                                  TPVSUS 30?? What point was that measured at? On the SS board?
                                  I doubt it would even fire the panel.
                                  You're not mixing this up with TPVscn on the SC board??

                                    I'd still be fault finding it to see why it tripped, check all the levels. The onboard LED on the SC lights up? I assume it has one. FGirst time I did a bypass I cut and removed parts, second time on a different board I earthed out the sos line. Might have been SOS6 , forget it's in a thread somewhere.

                                      Lol yea I measured from the tpvsus resistor. Yes the inboard led lights up. Checked all voltages and they ate all in spec within 2 volts except to ad where it's 5 volts low.

                                      Watching it now and absolutely flawless picture. No flickering maldischarge of any sorts at all. Fires on the first startup too. What I did is cut the trace to pin 21 of the sc20 so the voltage high cannot reach the a board and all is well

                                        Are one of those poteometers on the sc board related to vad adjustments? If so the vad being out of spec 5v triggered the SOS. That's a small window compared to thee sc boards panasonic manufactures in other sets. I would say leaky resistors are culprit causing the circuit to drop off spec to trigger the SOS.
                                        Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                                          so can you list the values of the TP or what TPVAD is exactly. The adjustment points are in the table.

                                            Hi,
                                            anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
                                            It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
                                            I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
                                            I checked that board for any obvious faults...

                                            Hello,

                                            Stopped by this site trying to fix my parents Panasonic Plasma TV.

                                            Model number is TH-50PZ85U

                                            Power comes on and the red power light stays on solid.

                                            Did a few checks like hold the power button on for 60 seconds, hold the - Volume while holding the menu button, no luck, still@ blank grey screen as the screen lights up very vague.

                                            I also hear a few clicks.

                                            I also think my parents said there was a thunderstorm and the TV failed after that.

                                            Section 6 in the service manual talks about power and no screen,...

                                            Hello, got a ST50 plasma TV for repair. No signs of life, not even blink codes. Opened it up to check the power supply, type MPF6914. Apparent issues from visual detection and measuring for shorts:
                                            Diode type G972s6 - D101 with a short
                                            Mosfet 06N90E - Q301 shorted
                                            Fuse T5AH 250V - F103 blown
                                            Diode D301 shorted
                                            Relay DG1U-17VDC II - RL001 blown

                                            I have not found a circuit diagram. Maybe someone here already dealt with a similar issue? Thanks for tips where else to check 😀...

                                            Hello,
                                            My Oct 2012 panny plasma quit working yesterday.
                                            It was on when it happened. It let out a bit of burned plastic/circuit board smell. I was not able to find any burned parts though.
                                            Now it produces 8 blinks. According to the repair manual, that points to SS/SS2 board(s).
                                            I completed the steps in the guide: unplugged SS33, the TV turned on with a black screen, no blinking codes. Then I checked the continuity between pins 1 and 2 of the connectors SS52, SS54-SS57. The continuity is ok in all of them. Guide suggests to replace SS/SS2 boards so I placed an order...

                                            Hi everyone!
                                            I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
                                            So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.

                                            Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
                                            For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several...
