      If it has Freesat it will appear in the "TV" menu and also there is a satellite LNB input (coax connector) on the rear of the unit.

      As for loose cable, just run set for a few days and see how it goes... it seems to be a common issue with them, the 46" I have had half blue screen and half blank due to loose cable.

          This will give you an idea just How good/robust these PZ80 are...

          Three weeks ago at work (As some of you may know, I work at local recycling place rebuilding TV sets for the re-use shop they've got there....)

          I saw in (Completely the wrong skip) a familiar back cover of this 42PZ82B set. I was pretty sure it was smashed, but lifted it out anyway, thinking maybe good for parts. It was full of water from rain--I mean--FULL!

          PDP looked intact, so after draining gallons (!) I brought it back to my W/S. There it sat up on end for a few days.
          Removed the (very dented back, looked like Fred Astaire had been practicing on it) and cleaned most of the mud etc from the case/front.

          The chassis after its impromptu bath was nice and clean, so left it in the sun for a few hours, to make sure it really was fully dried out.

          --Thought --What the hell, Its dry now, Bung power to it--Always good for a larf if it blows up!

          Fired it up, BBC1 came on bright and clear, even the sound was OK, been using it in the W/S since as its too scratched/banged up to sell on....

          This afternoon--I found another, (in the correct skip) a great condition case, no apparent damage, and (Oddly) it ran after holding the CH_Up (+) function button down, so checked its records, 16K600 odd hours, last 4 errors SOS 10...

          Turned off via front--now back to 10 blink, I guess I'll be pulling MC301 etc on Wednesday....

              They are indeed reliable sets. Great picture quality also.

              Few weeks ago i picked up the same set. Owner said the panel exploded while watching tv. The outter glas was fine , the panel exploded from the inside. Owner said that the bang was VERY loud haha.
              All parts except the buffers were still ok!
              I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

                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 here🤔?
                Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting 😂.

                Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                by AquaMan Ua
                Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                by stecos
                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...

                Physically bending the T-Con board creates horizontal dotted lines on OLED55CXPUA
                by fredtred
                Hello!
                I have been trying to solve this issue the past 12 months to no avail. I have been a lurker here during that time but finally decided to post my problem and see if anybody knows a solution.

                Problem
                My tv (OLED55CXPUA) has an issue where it displays horizonal lines of dotted artifacts.

                (See Attachment 1)

                Self Diagnosing
                After a very long troubleshooting period I traced the issue to the T-Con board. If I gently flexed/bend the board I could make the display go from GOOD to BAD and vice versa. I have ruled out the connectors/wires...

                Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1 BIOS repair
                by aa10aa10
                Good day,

                I have tried to remove BIOS supervisor password from Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1. Model number CF-33AENABTG, unfortunately I don't have any other info.

                I read the BIOS using afuwin, edited it and tried to flash new edited BIOS using afuwin. Unsuccessfully. Afuwin showed "Error: Problem erasing flash." starting with 0x00040000 and stoped. Then I tried many other options to flash BIOS from Windows without any luck. Finally i rebooted the device - and no post. Afterwards I have read the corrupted bios chip (MX25L12873F) using EZP2010 programmer....
