Re: Pioneer PDP-5020FD plasma STBY light 8 flash

Since I had pretty much decided the panel on this was rooted I did a little experiment: I pulled off the glue-mounted? TCPs from the X board in the vicinity of the two lines and tried firing the TV up. The first one marked X had no effect so it was not the fault, the second circled allows the TV to run now although the two vertical lines are still visible.

Couple of questions here:

1) out of interest, how are these TCP cables glued to the x boards? is there some special electrical conductive glue, or are they heat pressed? Anyone know?

2) Those two vertical lines are still visible despite TCP disconnection. I am little surprised by that. Does that mean a short internal to the plasma display rather than the TCP? I had figured it was in incoming signal fault.

3) Anyone know if I can resize the output on this screen? Because with a bit of black paint down the side I can have a very nice 42" plasma!! lol. Partly serious though.




Put all the boards up for sale in a job lot unless someone can sell me a good panel locally.

Just in case anyone searches 8 blinks on a pioneer 5020 fd I paid $50 to a pioneer repair shop here in San Diego to look at it and it ended up bad pixels were sending the 8 blink code. All the boards and voltage checked out fine.
recycled the tv oh well I got for free it was worth a shot

Hi I have a pioneer pdp-505PG plasma
It shuts down almost immediately and then had red blinking twice then a pause.
I replaced the power supply and it made no difference so I replaced the y sus board as well.
Now the blinking is in threes! Blinks red 3 times then a pause.
Can someone please help me with what to do now?
