    Yeah its very strange that the line just stops, and you can actually see a physical mark with the panel turned off. The data connector on the C1 board I think it is on the far right where the vertical line is also gets very hot, I think if I understand correctly these have a chip on flex? and the large metal bracket is a heatsink?

    I've also re-seated the buffer connector a few times but it doesn't help.

    Thank you
    It's a compliment but I was half expecting panel damage so the picture you have is more than I expected, not in reference to your ability.

    Pity about the result but looks like all the boards are now confirmed ok

    Thank you for the link Tom, is this a problem you've come across before?

    Well that's a lot further than I expected you'd get. I wonder if it's possible the panel is damaged from impact but all the gas did not escape?

    never seen a line stop like that horizontally, normally I'd be thinking a reseat of the buffer connector.

    At least you know which boards work now.

    Hi all, I replaced the SD board and managed to get a picture up but I know seem to have a panel fault? There is a black horizontal stripe 1 pixel wide which stops just short of the right hand side of the screen and there appears to be an actual mark on the panel at that point when the panel is turned off, it looks like a tiny black fleck. There is also a red horizontal line that intersects the horizontal line where the mark is.

    I'm talking from VF_GND to the ribbon connectors yes

    Thank you for the quick reply

    If you're taliking from gnd - the buffer ribbon connectors, yes it's knackered.

    Hi all, I did some more reading and saw that I should be able to test the buffer boards for a short with a multimeter, I tested both buffer boards. The lower buffer board appears to have a partial short to floating ground on the 4th connector up on 3 pins, it isn't a dead short though, it measures about 4 ohms. Does this mean the lower buffer board is blown?

    Thanks
    Charles

    Same SC boards so maybe chassis or mainboard?

    Yeah I get flashing green during startup then a solid green after a short while, I do worry I might of damaged something during fault finding, I'm all set up here to do surface mount rework the problem comes with tracking the fault down as always! Where could I check to see if I was generating a drive signal?

    Does anyone have the service manual for this set? I found the service manual for TX-P42S10B but I don't know what the differences would be between the 10B and the 11B that I have.

    Also can anyone explain why I had to remove the vf_gnd screws to perform the SC50 test?

    Also just had another thought, is it worthwhile removing the panel from the chassis to do a visual inspection? I know someone in a previous thread mentioned that after removing the panel from the chassis and something else from the top of the panel they could quite easily see a crack.

    Thanks again

    If solid green is the normal onstate I would expect most likely it's good although I have managed to create a situation during a rebuild of a SC board where it passed, was humming and fired the panel but no drive signal to generate an image due to a faulty octal buffer IC but that was damaged during fault finding the board. I put that as fairly unlikely in your case.

    For our models it's flashing green on startup, solid when running, red on standby, blinking red for SOS fault codes.

    You need SU/SD in panel to be certain but if TV was dropped I would be thinking panel is dud.

    Re: Panasonic TX-P42S11B - 7 Blink Code

    So the fact I get a solid green light with SC50 shorted would indicate that SC is possibly good and SU,SD are blown? But a shorted panel could of caused them to go?

    Thank you for all your help so far!

    Shorted panel will cause SOS6/SOS7 if it kills buffers/SC; SOS8 otherwise.

    The boards do resonate especially if not fully mounted up, I have installed SC boards for testing and had the odd one make some weird noises and it's always been due to the pcb resonating but always goes when everthing is mounted including the buffers.


    Solid green sounds like it passed startup so the SC is potentially ok. have no answer for the smoke, the buffers would be suspect since you have no blinks, but million dollar question is the panel?

    Shorted panels can make weird noises too, and I've only tried fixing one TV to find the panel was shorted, and yeah the noise it made could be compared to a dial-up modem?

    Not sure how the panasonic handles bad panels, I'd expect a shutdown and a SOS but with no buffers maybe it can't detect it?

    TOM will have a better idea I expect about shorted panel.

    That particular SC board like some other Panasonic versions are very hard to find. probably worth more than the broken TV on it's own?

    Second time round with the 4 vf_gnd screws removed and SU and SD disconnected the SC board didn't so much buzz as more ring like a dial up modem finishing in a continuous buzz and a solid green light.

    Thank you

    When you say tunes, do you mean loud buzzing? Is the board secured with all it's screws.

    Second time around did the TV startup with no blinks?

    edit: just read the bit about it failing after hitting the floor. I'd be suspect of the panel, may be what blew the buffers/sc and yeah you could end up replacing those to find the panel is broken/shorted.

    Don't know how you'd check except obvious cracking?

    Panasonic Plasma repair - TH-P60GT50 - Dead, 3 blink code
    by rmacintosh
    I aquired this Panasonic 60" plasma around the time my first child was born. It was meant to be a project tv, hoping to fix it chipping away at the repair in my free time. Well that was 2 years ago and i'm really just getting around to making a sincere effort to see if I can ressurect this beast.



    The symptoms of the tv ar as follows:
    • Plug AC in to back of TV
    • After about 2 seconds the relay on the P-sub board will click on and then a fraction of a second later it clicks back off
    • The 3 blink code is given by the power LED
    • If the TV is unplugged and then

    Panasonic ZT60 plasma tv with strange behavior and 8 blink code
    by cloo
    I recently got my hands on a 60" Panasonic P60ZT60 plasma tv (european model) that has some strange issues along with an 8 blink code.
    It know this tv is getting old but it was once considered one of the best plasmas ever made, and i think it is still holds on to that even by todays standards.


    So, long story short. When i first got the tv it had a very bright washed out picture with very raised blacks in all picture modes and i couldn't find the cause in the picture setting menus.
    After doing a factory reset this problem was gone and the picture was back to...

    Panasonic TC-P42ST30: Repair for 14 blink code
    by LongLiveMyPlasma
    My beloved Panasonic TC-P42ST30 has been stricken with the 14 blink code.

    I've spent many hours reading through forums, watching YouTube videos and reading the Panasonic plasma troubleshooting guide. But I'm a novice at this, and still need some help to cross the finish line.

    I understand the Panasonic troubleshooting guide suggests that the 14 blink code usually means there's a problem with either P-board or A-board. However, I also learned the problem frequently rests with the SN-board.

    Using my multi-meter, I was able to confirm the P-11 pin on the...

    Panasonic Plasma tc-p55vt50 6 blink error code
    by orbit417
    Hi All,

    Thank you in advance for your advice.

    I have a Panasonic Plasma tc-p55vt50 that's about 9 years old and has just recently stopped working :-(

    I noticed that when I turn the tv on I hear a click then screen comes on for like half a second then shuts off and the led blinks 6 times.
    I did some googling and found several video's on trouble shooting all sorts of blink codes. I finally came across one that showed 6 blink error code but for a different model. It recommended disconnecting the SC board to determine if it was the A board or power...
