    Panasonic TCP50C2 10 Blinks

    Hello,

    I have a Panasonic TC-P50C2 and it is blinking 10 times upon power-up. So, I found a Panasonic "Technical Guide" (for 2010 13th gen plasmas) which includes a troubleshooting flow chart for blinking LEDs. Results are as follows:

    1. Disconnect SS and SC boards - # of blinks changes to 7
    2. Reconnect SS board - # of blinks changes back to 10

    The guide says "Replace the SS board" which I would like to interpret as "Fix the existing SS board" but I don't know what's wrong with it.

    The silk screen indicates this board is a TNPA5072. All replacement boards I can find have an alpha suffix and that adds a lot of uncertainty to the matter when I consider the alternative of replacing the board.

    I would greatly appreciate any advice on troubleshooting this board or identifying an acceptable replacement. Thanks in advance!

    I have a similar SS on a 42", common failure, the SMD IGBTs short, looks like RJP30E4? Q001,Q002,Q021,Q022. You could test gnd to Vsus on SS connector SS11 and I'm expecting it's shorted.

    I have not found an exact datasheet but the E3 is 40Amp, looking at the way they've run the numbers RJP30E4 I suspect is 360V 45amp Silicon N Channel IGBT made by RENESAS. package is D-pak

    I fixed mine with different transistors not quite the same although mine TV has display issues still so unsure if what i did is part of the problem.

    Given the relative low cost of a used/refurbished/pulled fron new Tv damaged in transit board it's probably best to get the board.

    Yours is TNPA5072 no suffix or TXNSS1LNUU but any 50" TNPA5072 SS board including the Sanyo models should work. I believe there was a change in production on the type of connector for the panel ribbons but they still fit and connectes correctly.

    REV AE looks the same just it has a lever action connector where the Panasonic you pull the collar out , insert and push the collar in and it clamps. The other one I found has different capacitors that would be because the panel model must have changed as the boards are tuned to the panels.

    Panasonic original

    Rev AE fitted to SANYO with panasonic panel


    RJP30E4 example
    Up to you to decide which to get.

      Thanks tw2005! I found a 5 pack of the IGBTs on eBay for $10 so I'll try that first. I attempted to spec the transistor but there are minute differences between the E2 and E3 which leaves me with a lot of uncertainty about the E4 so I'd rather not push my luck. If these don't work, I'll pick up a new board.

      That said...I got the pins off the board without issue but I'm struggling with the body of the units...any tips for removal?

      Thanks again!!

        Flux, tin the tab up with solder so you get good heat transfer and heat the transistor tab until it start bubbling and slides. I think I used a broad tip on a cheapo 40W iron

          That worked almost too well to be true. Thanks 10^6

            No worries, please decode 10^6 for me ?

            Did you check out the rest of the board for shorted components like the FET driver or those tiny 5pin npn/pnp transistors. I had no issues apart from those FETs.

            EDIT: Ok Thanks a million, HA HA. 10^0 is fine.

              Sorry, forgot to subscribe to this thread. Yes, that was thanks a million!

              The FET driver is fine. In testing the transistor packages, they're either bad or I have the pinout wrong:

              (Where both emitters and both bases are connected)

              PNP:
              B - 1/4
              C - 2
              E - 3

              NPN:
              B - 1/4
              C - 5
              E - 3

              Do I have these right? If so...how do I go about testing them? I would think a simple open circuit across each C - E would do it...but they're tied together in a different way than I'm used to. If I was taught this, I slept through it...

                Pin outs, tested in cct on a SC board, should be similar

                  Yeah, had the pin out wrong...hahaha....

                  All 3 of those units are bad. Again I get about 300kohms when I should have 3Mohms. I'll order them later today...found in stock at Mouser. 3.50 for 6 of them but 20 in shipping...blahhhh

                    Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                    by Tynan Dill
                    I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                    Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                    I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                    The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                    With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                    Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                    Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                    Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
                    by sam_sam_sam
                    I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                    This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

                    Panasonic TC-P54VT25 No image. A or D board?
                    by canadaboy25
                    I have a Panasonic TC-P54VT25 that will power on and prime the display but there is no image at all.

                    The panel is primed as there is a slight glow from the entire panel. This means the problem should be logic related. The service manual also confirms this and recommends replacing the A or the D board.

                    I have tried to get the TV to display the test sequence but I have been unable to and I don't even know if this TV has a test sequence or not. I tried following tom66's instructions in post #3 on this thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26790. There was...

                    Panasonic P50VT20B Plasma 12 Blinks, Power Supply or A-Board?
                    by Biruslapio
                    Hello, I've had this TV for 3 years, 2 years ago it stopped working signaling 12 Blinks, SOUND_SOS according to the service manual.

                    It has no VSUS or VDAT, and P15V has 1.0V instead, the same 15V goes to A board. F15V is ok and other main voltage rails.

                    It seems the power supply is defective, since unplugging D20 ribbon cable that goes from D-board to SC-board makes the behavior change, the TV stays on, there's no image nor VSUS, but 15V reads 2.4V, high enough to not trip the SOS 12 blinks, so it stays on, fans do not spin but I left it 2 hours, green led lit up...
