Panasonic TCP50C2

[cqz123]

My main tv died about 2 months ago. I ended up just buying a new one to replace it but put the old one off to the side in hopes of fixing it later. I've tried search for similar color problems but can't find anything that quite describes the problem or a solution figured I'd throw it in here to see if anyone has seen this problem before. The colors look all wrong, not sure if its just on e of the rgb colors not working right or what. Any help is appreciated




The menu should look like a navy blue like below

I would access the service menu and try a reset first.
VOL- held on TV and zero three times on remote.

Vol - and 0 three times does not seem to work. To get into the service menu its Vol- and Info twice and that does work. If that helps narrow down the right key combo. Seems like theres a few different ones out there.

May be different for your US model & newer generation. What do you see on service menu -- can you show us pictures?

Reset: Hold the TV's Vol Down button and press the Menu button on remote. Should go into a self check and display any SOS error codes in red. Remove AC power or press and hold the TV's power button in for 5 secs, TV will power off and back on. Should now be at open box condition.

But from your picture, you most likely have a bad A board (main board).

Vol Down and Menu didnt do the trick either I'm leaning toward the A board as well. Here's a the service menu like asked above just in case.
