tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

Re: tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

Yeah, hard to believe but that one was a real disaster. Only persisted because I'd invested so much time and money into it. The biggest battle was decyphering the SMD components since the Panasonic codes tell you nothing except when ithey are actually produced by them.

Did not see the point in quitting and learning nothing.

i hope it helps people fix there boards in some way. I very much doubt you will need all those parts, it's quite cheap to fix them compared to buying them if you get it right.

Look forward to see what you find. It was really interesting to see just how close the TNPA5105 was to my board. I'll have a guess and assume your TV uses less power. Might explain why the SC is reduced slightly and the buffers with no heatsinks.

Re: tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

I wasn't aware that that list of parts was what you had to replace or I would have looked deeper.
I have read most of your repair thread now and see the sd/su tests so when I dig back into this tomorrow I'll have a bunch of things to check.
Thanks for your input, it helps me move forward and hopefully save some steps +

Re: tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

Well my only suggestion is you have a good slow read through my entire post. Since I've repaired three of these there's enough info to give you a good idea including resistance checks on those buffer boards.

But my parts list is something I'd pay close attention too as a good guide to the majority of parts that can fail. My last board blew out to about 32 parts in total but mainly because I missed some items and because the short had gone at the vsus the shutdown cct did not turn it off until it applied power and further damaged the board which complicated the whole process.

It took me a lot of time to work it out and unless you get it right the first time it quickly becomes a more expensive exercise than a replacement board.

IC16771 & IC 16773 will both show shorted because the 5V reg feeds that Inverter IC. You need to make sure that entire inverter cct and the 5v reg are 100% to stop Q16661 from shorting again & again if you miss anything will also blow other things if powered up with anything missed and for me created a real challenge.

Q16701,16702, 16818, IC16771,16773, R16707, & D16702 all need to be checked or replaced and this should stop Q16661 blowing.

All 3 boards IC16773 had failed shorted. With those 2 regulators, I got tricked up on one board for IC16724, input resistance was correct at 2.6k in cct, did not check output which I found much later also was 2.6K, should be much higher so essentially I had 15V coming out instead of 5V.

That 5V is fed to the buffer boards. On the 2 SC with bad IC16724, the buffers were also bad and the 5V lines on them were shorted too.

The other trap with my last board was IC16771, input and output resistance looked ok in cct. However, after blowing Q16661 several times and having replaced everything else and still having Q16661 blow I got suspicious of that reg and decided to pull it out. Input was fine, output open, so no 5V to the inverter and bang Q16661 blows.

You'll read all about it in my post.

Post 22, 29, are 2 successful repairs. 82 on is my long battle and the long list of parts was a result of the stuff ups.

The first 2 were relatively quick, easy and cheap

Post 58 for buffers, if the results don't match exactly, swap the probes around it does affect the measurement.

If you download a manual for any of these and check out the schematic of a TNPA5081 in comparison to yours which may help you correlate my info to your board.

TX-P50G20B
TC-P50GT25

Also have a good look all around the area of IC16521, there for shorted diodes, blown or out of tolerance resistors, Q16451,R16451, Q16551,D16451,D16482.

Looking at your growing list I'm also expecting maybe Q16621. what transistor have they used there? With mine they have a pair of 30F125 IGBTs, looks like they've gone with only 1 IGBT there with yours otherwise the surrounding components look the same.

Re: tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

Thanks for the list.
I checked the other suggested devices
Q16661 shorted
IC16771 shorted
IC16724 ok
Did some poking around and not necessarily done
Q16701 or something near it shorted
IC16773 or something near it shorted
Still need to pull these items to see what exactly is wrong but it is leaving me wondering if I'm chasing a catastrophic and/or display failure here.
I really haven't analyzed what all these failures might be connected to and being there is no info about the SD, SU cards in the service manual it is hard to determine how they interact or even how to test them.
Any know a test for these boards? sd/su that is

Re: tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

tw2005 when you say "Those replacement boards " which ones are you talking about? SD, SU or SC too.

I will probably buy the replacement components for the SC board which currently stands at Q401, Q402, Q421, Q422, Q521, and IC521, it doesn't look like it will break the bank.
Then I will test it all with SD and SU disconnected and SC50 jumpered all the while monitoring the amperage on Vsus to SC. Then I'll plugin SD and SU and see what changes amperage wise, maybe bring it up with my variac to catch a high amps condition before it is destructive. I will check every power supply output I can find so I know if there are any other issues.

TW2005 where did you get that replacement for Q521 from? All I got off the transistor was 3Y0G4 which didn't cross to anything so far.

I'm referring to the 3 Ebay listed SC boards.

If you purchased http://www.ebay.com/itm/Panasonic-TC...item2ec8ea9357

that will give you 1 M81737FP and about 5 CPH5524 plus some other parts that are also located on the SC, which you don't need it appears but could be handy. That's what I did to get CPH5524 because it was actually cheaper than trying to get MOUSER to deliver to Australia and I picked up some extra spares from this board as well.

Re: tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

I'd forget about the A board.

https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26322

For Q521,

https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...5&d=1371789568

IC 521 I'd consider removing and measure pins 11,15 low ohms is no good. Also across 7 & 8 if open or short bad, then re check P15V whilst IC521 is out and see what it reads.

Those replacement boards are not too badly priced which would be the safest way to get this going, but if you're a risk taker, have a go at component.

[allenrw]

Re: tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

Following tw2005's advice I checked the P5V and P15V lines. P5V no shorts. P15V was .9 ohms to gnd.
I found Q521, IC521 bad (pretty sure, by resistance tests while in circuit)
Then found Q421 and Q422 shorted, so now I'm thinking what caused all this?
The VFG and VOL lines both blew their output transistors, by looking at the block diagram I don't see how they are connected to the SU, SD boards but then I'm not done investigating this yet.
Still ramping up to test the SU, SD boards and thinking that the maybe I should look at the power circuits on SC (16V_F and Vad+5V and what else?)
What about the A board, should I look there too?

Re: tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

Tnx for reply
This is how I tested it. also found Q401 and Q402 shorted.
"Disconnected SC and it went to 202v before shutdown but still 10 blinks.
Disconnected SC and S20 and it went to 6 blinks and took longer to shutdown, Vsus stayed at 202v before shutdown.

[tw2005]

Re: tc-p50S2 10 blink SC troubleshooting

The SC definitely is bad. 368 ohms at SC2 is as good as a short.

When you disconnected the SC with 202V Vsus but still 10 blinks was that with SC2 disconnected but the SC20 (ribbon)still connected?

The P5V and P15V lines on the SC could also be shorted.

Either way it's the SC. The cct is very close to the TNPA5081 I've fixed, the S2 uses the same SD/SU boards except yours has no heatsinks I believe.

I would also check out the SU/SD boards as well in case they have an issue also

Hi all,
I need a few pointers here, I have TC-p50s2 panasonic with the 10 blinks shutdown code that I think I have isolated to the SC board as high current problem but not sure.
I measured sub 1.2v, sub 1.8v, sub 5v before shutdown OK
Found SOS4 line to be odd, it went to 3v just before shutdown.
Read I should check Vsus and Vda and found Vsus to be no more than .7v before shut down.
Disconnected SC and it went to 202v before shutdown but still 10 blinks.
Disconnected SC and S20 and it went to 6 blinks and took longer to shutdown, Vsus stayed at 202v before shutdown.
Reconnected all leads but put ammeter on Vsus going to SC, read low for a second or two then jumped to 1.7 Amps and shutdown.
Pulled sc41, sc42, and sc46 from SU and SD boards and jumpered SC50 and got the same results as above.
I have 368 ohms from pin 1 of SC2 on SC board to ground.
I also checked all the electrolytic caps in circuit with my cap. meter and they seem OK
I don't mind doing board level surgery but I'm hoping someone here has a few pointers.
Thanks Bob
