    10 blink Panasonic TC-42px24

    I have the dreaded 10 blinks coming from my plasma tv. Read the technical manual that they have posted online and came to conclusion that it could be a bad "A" board. Cause I measure the voltage at connector P7 pin 1 and get 4.97v and pin 5 3.1v, but nothing from pin 7. (looking at power up operation for this information)

    From the looks of it. I need 3.2 volts to turn on the power cpu. So it could turn on the relay. Since I don't hear it. Also to supply 14.6v to the IC (5606,5608,5610) that are not receiving anything.

    I think this might be the reason why im getting 10 blinks.

    Also getting nothing at connector P2 and P11 just more info.

    Something else to try. disconnect power cables P2, P11, P35, and white ribbons A31,A32,A21.

    Turn it on and see if it turns on with no Blink codes. If it does the the A should be ok and you can also measure the PSU outputs.

    Manual mentions A,SN,SS and P boards as possible SOS 10. I know this model blows SS boards.

    Don't reconnect those power cables straight away, check for residual voltage as you they will arc and you may spike the boards or panel from residual current.

      Ok getting 191.5v at VSUS at P2 and P11 connectors and getting no blinks. What next should I do. Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it

        Good question, connect everything up but leave SS3 and SS11 at the SS disconnected.

        Turn on and see if 10 blink

          Alternatively you could check resistance across the 2 pins at SS11 and SN2. disconnect the leads and obviously with it off. looking for shorts

          If they're not shorted you'll have to check the P5V and P15V lines at the SN (SN20)and P5V at SS (SS23) and see if they are short.

            No 10 blinks. Steady led light all the time with the SS11 and SS3 disconnected

              Please explain how to do that. Sorry

                set the multimeter to resistance in Mohms range and measure across the pins on the SS and SN at those connection points SS11 and SN2.

                I'm a little surprised you got no SOS but not getting SOS10 suggests the SS could be the problem. Was the little green LED at the top of the SN board brightly lit which confirms the SN is running?

                  I don't know if you've seen this. It's the model before but similar layout on the HD models. I've got the same setup as yours on one I'm working on, had shorted SS on the Vsus line and then also bad A-board.

                  The 10 blink flow chart at leasts gets you to check for shorted Vsus and other points.

                      yep, I'm aware. Your px24 is essentally the same as my X20A (2010 model)
                      and although that training manual is for 2009, if you imagine the SC,SD,SU all built into one board (SN) then the design you see in the 42" HD model diagrams and the flow charts should still be able to be applied to the 2010 for the 10 blink.

                          yeah it's following a similar process except there is an interconnection between the SN and SS on the HD models. The guide is focussed on the FHD version.
                          So starting the TV like we did with the SS isolated and having no 10 blink suggests SS which is why we should either look at that board first for shorted Vsus or the SN.

                          It's safer to check for shorts rather than powering up the TV with a known fault. We know the PSU and A should be ok.

                          That leaves us with the SN, SS or maybe C1,C2 boards but I'd leave the C boards alone at this stage.

                            Also I forgot, but at connector SS11, there's P15V, So measure Vsus pin1-gnd resistance, P15V pin4 -gnd , pin3 is gnd, there's no pin2.

                            At connector SS23 resistance, pin1 P5V - gnd, pin6 is gnd.

                                    Well definitely bad SS with shorted Vsus line. You'll probably find all of these transistors shorted Q021,022,Q001,002 - RJP30E4

                                    Would also pay to check the SN too, but if you say it powered up with the SN connected both at SN2 and the ribbon SN20 connected, and the TV was on and the onboard green LED remained brightly lit, that tells me no short on the Vsus, P5V,P15V and no SOS triggers being sent back to the A board.

                                    Is that what happened?

                                    Going by this fault finding post #28, it says TV would not turn on with just the SN connected?

                                    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...RJP30E4&page=2

                                    I've circled the LED on the TNPA5066 photo.

                                    Something else I better double check, when you measured the Vsus resistance as shorted on the SS board, was the power cable from the PSU p11, to SS11 disconnected? If not retest with it off it case the short is on the SN Vsus. I should have been clearer on that.

                                      Ok just want to make sure. Now it doesn't blink anymore. Everything connected
                                      But don't hear relays and power led is lite all the time. Also no screen isn't turning on.

                                        Everything connected? All boards? SN, SS and all connectors? A dead short (Vsus) on the PSU could cause it not to start at all and shutdown before it can produce a SOS blink.


                                        We should keep this simple. We need to confirm 2 things.

                                        1. The vsus short only exists on the SS board, so please confirm if it is showing vsus shorted with the SS board isolated at the SS board connector you previously measured SS11.

                                        2. We need to also check if the SN has been damaged as well which may be tricky so we may have to measure several points of resistance and also maybe for shorted transistors .

                                        My SN was initially ok but after fault finding and turning the set on trying to work it out it shorted one of the transistors on the Energy recovery circuit ( the lead that links the SS & SN)

                                        Are you able to attach some photos using go advanced, manage attachments of how it's all hooked up and what lights there are?

                                          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...

                                          Hi everyone,

                                          I'm new here and trying to repair my Panasonic TX-P50V10E plasma TV, which is currently showing the 6 red blink error code.

                                          Just for context: I'm used to building PCs and installing modchips in old consoles, but this is my first time trying to fix a TV. I'm French, and while my English is okay, I'm using ChatGPT to help translate and clarify my messages as much as possible โ€” so please forgive any odd phrasing.

                                          I'm also not very experienced with using a multimeter, but I'm very motivated and ready to follow instructions carefully and report...

                                          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 TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
                                          by Andre Gilbert
                                          Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing here๐Ÿค”?
                                          Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting ๐Ÿ˜‚.

                                          TV Model: Panasonic TC-P55ST50

                                          Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light

                                          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,...
