    Panasonic TC-P46U1 plasma

    Hey all.

    So here we go. My head hurts from this tv, I have no clue. Everything with this plasma is fine, until it's been on for about an hour or so. The picture starts to go all cloudy, mainly on bright colours. It happens on all video inputs about the same amount of time after the tv has been on. No shut downs, no flashes, just crappy image. The menu screens are showing the same bad colours. I have reseated all connections, and nothing obvious stands out (caps or burn marks). Any thoughts on this would be great. I have very very limited knowledge of electronics, but I am not afraid to get electrocuted lol.

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: Panasonic TC-P46U1 plasma

    ok, so I tried playing with it a little more, and found something out. Not sure what it means if anything. When I power up the tv with the y board unplugged from the power supply board, I get shut down with 7 flashes. So I plug it in and unplug the z board, the set comes on black, except it looks like someone threw a can of purple paint at the screen. That went away after a minute or two. Does this mean anything to anyone?

    Thanks

      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...

      Hi everyone!
      I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
      So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.

      Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
      For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several...

      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...

      Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
      by Alicat
      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,...

      Panasonic P42S30 Plasma - Pink sparkles
      by Lintesir
      My parents' Panasonic P42S30 died recently, and they asked me to have a look at it. I was able to identify the SN-board as the culprit, as it was shorted. After removing Q401, Q402, Q421 and Q422 the short was gone, so I replaced these components and that got the TV working again. However, when testing the tv a bit, I noticed quite bad pinkish sparkles on some colors. For instance the greyish bar on this forum seems to trigger it quite badly. I made a fullscreen test picture with only that color, with the below result.

      There is about a 5cm high region at the top without any sparkles,...
