You'd get absolutely nothing on the panel with a Vsus of 30V...Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

The panel Vsus interestingly is determined by the gas pressure.

(The image shows Vs as Ve and Vf as Vs.)
Low Vsus is possible with a mid-point gas pressure. The gradual increase in Vsus over the years may be a clue that manufacturers are increasing gas pressure in the panel. (They can't practically reduce it -- this increases the dielectric constant, reducing efficiency.) I guess as manufacturing techniques improve, higher pressures are possible. Additionally, it shows the reason why Vs and Ve are always different: it's pretty hard to get an accurate panel pressure each time when it's dependent over orders of magnitude of pressure.Last edited by tom66; 03-22-2013, 03:43 AM.Please do not PM me with questions!

Re: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma - Seven red blinks Dead No power
I may try that freakaftr8, but I am too much of a purist to give into this ugly beast that easy and possibly blow my SC board. As you said these baby’s are hard (near impossible) to find anywhere.
So I’ve been shooting pretty much by the hip until now. I found IC564 but that was only by chance. Now it’s time to laser target my methods and focus one what we know for sure: SOS7.
So from 2009 Tech Guide:
“Unplugging any of the connectors SC41/SU41, SU11/SD11, and SC42/SD42, opens the interlocked connection between VF_GND and CHA on the SC board. This floats point “CHA” and Q16471 turns on. IC16561 outputs a high to pin 21 of connector SC20 triggering shutdown"
Also,
“The floating ground circuit monitors the scan circuit output, the 15V_F, the scan_pro, Vscan, and the physical connection between the SC board and the SU/SD board (CHA). If any abnormality occurs on any of these lines or Vsus is missing, the TV shuts down and the power LED blinks 7 times"
So, this circuit is Really the source signal for SOS7. It reads right to left, with MAIN_STOP_0 being the output that traces up to IC561. Anything that’s defective along the path, OR if one of the required inputs is not showing up, then SOS7 (7 blinks will happen) I know VSUS is working, but I can’t read where it’s detected clearly yet from this logic. I see inputs for scan_pro, 15V_F, CHA but still trying to sort out the others. Food for thought…..My scope is warming up and I plan to hang some test leads around this ckt to see what happens at power up.... By the way, all my FETs tested OK.Last edited by smartjohn; 03-22-2013, 10:13 AM.Comment

Re: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma - Seven red blinks Dead No power
Hey all sorry for the delay. Vsus and all other voltages are within 2 v of specified voltage. Oddly enough the set has been running strong and hard. For three days flawlessly and I have been monitoring
Voltages from time to time with no change. I have done some more "probing" of semis on the board especially in the failure prone areas smartjohn has issues with and all seem to be in spec from what I can tell.. Who knows why but with pin 21 disconnected and still getting a high on the pin its still running.Did I leave the soldering iron on?Comment

I assume you mean pin 21 is isolated from the A board but is still a high at the SC side of things.
Would'nt it be ironic if the majority of of boards failed had been tossed purely on a false detection but operationallly ok.
My only concern would be when you have a genuine fault or short and no shutdown on SOS7 is that going to present a fire risk.
That would be tragic.
maybe a bad zener? 5.1,15,36V

So VAD and Vscn are on target? One could only assume the detection circuit is faulty.

Back to this tv. Yes The sc board is outputting a high but isolated that circuit from the a board. If there comes a short it will damage the ps most likely.Did I leave the soldering iron on?Comment

Actually I take that back. Vad is 5v lowDid I leave the soldering iron on?Comment

Re: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma - Seven red blinks Dead No power
Ok sorry again. I was misreading a value. Vad is supposed to be 175v I have 174.2v. My dvm batteries were low.Did I leave the soldering iron on?Comment

Re: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma - Seven red blinks Dead No power
So it sounds like they are which surely could only mean false detect. It'd be really interesting to locate the issue, may help others but i could understand if you just packed it up and used as is.
just as interesting when I dicovered the onboard LED open cct on one of mine which triggered SOS6 but perfect board otherwise. Replaced the LED and it's been running sweet about 7-8 months now.Comment

Re: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma - Seven red blinks Dead No power
Finally success! Sorry freakaftr8, it looks like my cruise has ended.. After I zeroed in on the circuit in post #65, I decided to re-check IC724 / IC725 (right next to SC42 connector). IC724 was only giving me 48 ohms from pin 2 (common) to pin 1 (output). I remember getting this before (#13) but passed it off because during the current test (#26 & #29) neither of these got very warm. I already had these L78L05A 5v regulators so I just decided to replace them. Sure enough, when I checked IC724 out of circuit, 1 to 2 was still 48 Ohms. Checking the new ones in circuit, I was getting between 2K to 4.8K depending on polarity and after the caps settled. Remember, anything bad in the circuit in #65 will possibly result in SOS7.
So I fired the set up in isolation mode (no SU/SD connected, SC50 jumpered) and Bingo, the fans came on, no relay cut out!! Then shut it off in less than 15 seconds. I had checked my old SU / SD boards. Pin 2 on the old SU board was 20 ohms to the ground plate. New board measured over 5Meg ohms. So I popped in both new buffer boards. Bingo it fired up and I got the setup menu! I had to reseat all the SU / SD board ribbon cables as I was getting some blank spots on the horizontal trace. Didn’t really need the scope but it looks cool in the picture anyway! Ha ha..
So just to summarize my repair:
SC board: IC564, IC724, IC725 (but was probably ok)
New SU board
If anybody else has some dead TNPA4844 SC boards, PM me and I may be up for buying a few.Last edited by smartjohn; 03-24-2013, 08:08 AM.Comment

There's nothing like the thrill of component level. Very satisfying. I honesty rated my chances as marginal, but having a go and winning, makes you want more of these to fix.Comment

Alright smartjohn! Way to go! So to recap, to think a failed upper buffer caused this board to short out the ic724/25?Did I leave the soldering iron on?Comment

Re: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma - Seven red blinks Dead No power
Anyhow, I give all the credit to Someone greater than me!! I need to sell this one as I am currently looking for work (who else has 40+hrs to fix something like this!) I plan to eventually fix and donate most of them to others in more need. Hey freakaftr8, PM me with your address. If your IC724/725 is bad I can help you out. I ordered 32 of them by mistake, but it was only 4 bucks total!! too funny...good luck to all...
PS: Tom66 wonder what the VAT (ok I checked, 19%) on 1 Euro and shipping would be to US?Comment

Re: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma - Seven red blinks Dead No power
Thats very kind of you and also to donate some TV's as well. I pick up TV's broken and some I sell and some I donate as well. As to the regulators I might take you up on That but I have some dead panasonic ysus boards with a bunch of failed fets that I would have rebuilt but it was cheaper just to buy a working board and have a bunch of these regulators already. A bunch of my sets end up in group homes and the such.Did I leave the soldering iron on?Comment

by jm1234Hi,
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... -
by AlicatHello,
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,...10-30-2024, 10:09 AM -
by badcappoHello, 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 😀... -
by nick31Hello,
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... -
