Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

Alright, well after shipping and tax etc, it looks like the estimate would be $117 unless paypal charges anything extra for conversion for the 3 parts.. this is definitely the cheapest around, and this will cover other parts (given they work) too. How long does shipping usually take for you? - I know your in Australia but I would assume shipping should be about the same give or take a few days.

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

Also on the site, it is requiring me to enter a Tax ID.. any particular reason why?

2 weeks at least, not sure abotut the tax, send him a message, he also lists on ebay not if he's listed that item.

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

Well I bought it and it came out to be $120 shipped. I will update after getting them..

But yeah.. sadly the part on eBay that was listed at 190, it sold for his asking price it is definitely in need.. Almost tempting to order and list it but feel like doing so..

When they arrive I suggest testing for shorted transistors or at least test SC2 for short and also the buffers for shorts before you install just in case they're duds.

Hope it works out

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

It powered ON!!!

With that quick of shipping, reward points, and usaully cheaper prices.. I will defineatyely bookmark the site.

Just now I have to get the back cover back on and make sure I have not cracked it in the whole process

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

Well That's good news and a very cheap repair for that board. If it turned on and has picture, then nothing is cracked.

Were your buffer boards ok in the end? O r did you just put all the received part in anyway?

A spare buffer set could be handy.

Hey post a pic of it running when it's all put back together.

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

Well I put it half back together to make sure if anything was wrong with it (have learned from putting other things back together all of the way in the past) and it payed off as I have larger "lines" going through the tv. I would just say some of the buffer board connections were not completely connected. No biggy.. I just did not have time earlier to do any more.

I will post a pic once getting it all going officially.

PS - I did check the SC2 and it simply kept rising.. I believe I read somewhere that was what is suppose to happen. And yes I replaced all 3 - Since I bought the kit, might as well keep the trio going as they were.

PSS - I bought the Mastech MS8268 for $27 and it seems to have a lot of nice features that I like (some I did not even know until after buying) but specs say it is suppose to read to 40MOhm.

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

Don't attempt to adjust those ribbons with it on. I've read a few cases where people thought it was ok to do that only to short out and blow the boards.

Enjoy, hang onto the old SC in case it's repairable.

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

Well I would hange onto everything but I was thinking about listing them at fixed price and see if I get any bites. I wouldn't mind fixing it but I am also going to either resell the tv or give it as a gift. I am just unsure about giving it as a gift as the base is cracked and I do not like the idea of given a somewhat broken item to someone, I am sure they would love it as they still have a tube tv but just not sure as that is not the only reason why I am unsure. So me keeping the boards in end will only clutter more space (which I do not have).

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

A pic of the finished product.. I say, getting all of the ribbons in place might had been the hardest part of the job..

These are great TVs when working. Enjoy!

Looking great, yeah, it took me 3 goes to get mine right on my 50 FHD, now I have no trouble, practice i guess.

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

I picked up a tc-50ps14 which has the 10 blinks issue. I followed the flow chart on the PDF, which ended with pulling the A1 and grounding the 8th pin. My interpretation is that the tv should have powered up briefly although the 10 blinks code may be displayed. The set did not power up at all with the A1 disconnected and pin 8 grounded. Does this indicate the A board is bad? I expected it to power up and give 10 blinks at least.

Try this. disconnect Sc2,sc20,ss11,p35, 3 white ribbons at the A board A31,32,33 and try turning it on. if it still 10 blinks , I would say a-board.

maybe you can check the sub voltages for shorts. weird things have happened like coins jammed in sd slots short the A-board out

don't reconnect sc2,ss11 or p35 straight away . let it sit for several minutes or use a meter to check if they're still hot. risk of spiking panel or boards, panel driver ic damage would be terminal.

I will check this tonight. I contacted an ebayer about A board. The only listing I see is for $130 and has no returns. I contacted a local dealer and he was not very optimistic about this set at all. I'll weigh by options. Any recommendations for finding parts other than ebay?

As these get older, parts get harder and more expensive to find. Moduslink do board repair but A boards are rarely cheap unless there are plenty around. May be possible to find a similar 50" of the same series A board.

determine if it's A board first I guess.

Re: Panasonic TC-50PS14 10 blinks

After this I get 0 blinks, it has absolutely no power at all. I came to the same end when shorting out the ground pin 8 of connector A1 (Disconnected the lead from the a board and grounded the 8th pin on the cable). I checked with Moduslink and they do have the part @150 but they offer a return option with a %20 restocking fee. I'm only $42 invested right now and I'm open to trying parts. I don't want to inconvenience sellers with returns due to my poor isolation.

The jpg is the flow chart I used for tc-50ps14.
