    Panasonic TC-P42G15 Plasma (5 blinks) - Bad A-Board?

    I'm working on a Panasonic TC-P42G15 plasma, and I get 5 blinks when I turn it on. Also, I hear a squealing sound on the power supply that appears to be coming from one of the transformers.

    The troubleshooting steps I ran across mention checking the voltage on pin 5 of the P25 connector as the TV is powered on; the A-board should be replaced if 5V is present. The voltage appears to climb then drop as the relay clicks off; I actually got "OL" as my max voltage, which I thought was strange. Does it sound like the A-board has failed, or is there a P-board problem?

      Ok, I had the range on my Fluke set for 4V I'm now seeing 4.8V as the max voltage on pin 5 of the P25 connector when I turn on the TV. So, based on the troubleshooting handbook, it looks like the A-board is bad. Crap. Those are not easy to find at a reasonable price. I also remembered that the person who sold me the TV mentioned plugging in his PS3 to the main board and the TV shut down a bit later.

          Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
          by jm1234
          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...

          Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
          by Alicat
          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,...

          Panasonic Plasma ST50 TC-P55ST50 P55ST50 8 blinks
          by nick31
          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...

          Panasonic P58V11B 8 and 12 blinks error "fix"
          by Biruslapio
          Bought this TV used not working, panel flashed briefly on power up and it was blinking 8 times, a quick look on SS board revealed a common fault on the 3uF 250V capacitors, C201 to C205 (C1620X in the service manual), the solder joints were all cracked, C201 and C205 pins were darkened and some sparking had occurred on them, C201 was split open and clearly overheated in its last hours, replaced that one and resoldered the others, 8 blinks fixed.

          Also the previous owner broke the antenna connector by taking the TV out of the wall mount forgetting to unplug it, I desoldered the tuner...
