    Panasonic TH-L32C20CX

    The problem with this tv is if left unpluged for several days, the tv will powerup normally for few minutes then suddenly it shuts itself off, trying it again to power the tv on it gives 4 blinking red light, what do you think is the problem?

    4 blink is PSU, usually... So I'd check for cold solder joints and see what the main power rails do when set is turned on with 4 blinks.

      I've resoldered some cold joints and tried replacing caps even if not bulged, still nothing, there's no voltage label on the psu board so i'm blind with power measurements, any ideas What to do?

        Hi tom66,
        i've searched your tv repair reference library but did not find my model, instead i found this model (TC-L32C22) that has same pics. Of the power board and A board, what do you think? Power blinking 4 times says the problem is DTV12V_SOS, would this mean i need to check the 12v power board rail? If the 12v from power board is ok, where should i check from A board?

        Thanks in advance...

          Pictures are not clear enough for troubleshooting.
          You should find the connector from the power supply to the main board and with it all connected up test each pin and list the results

          pin1 5v
          pin 2 0v
          pin3 11.8v and so on.

          When the set fails do the test again.
          Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

              Re: Panasonic TH-L32C20CX

              Here are the power measurements from power supply, pin 1-16, it is taken when the tv is powered on (blinking green light) before the set shuts off with 4 consecutive red light. Are these voltages correct?

              Pin 1&2 - 5V
              3. - ground
              4&5 - 10V
              6. - ground
              7. - 15V
              8. - ground
              9. - 2.2V
              10. - no contact
              11. - 5V
              12. - 2.2 V
              13. - 0V
              14. - 0V
              15&16 - ground

                Looking at the schematic of TC-L32C22 voltage reference of power board, my voltage readings maybe low, like the 12v reference i only get 10v, and 17v i get 15v, any idea where should i check? Thanks.

                  Sometimes, that is OK. But not always. When the outputs do not have much load on them, they can sag. Right now, I'd look for an A board schematic to see what's triggering the SOS. I don't have time to do this right now (too late), but can have a look tomorrow if you remember to "bump" this post. Once SOS source is located, you can see if that 10V is truly too low, or if it's OK.

                    I don't know where to look at from the schematic, can you point it for me? And thank you for your time.

                      Re: Panasonic TH-L32C20CX

                      Finally fixed, I found a corrosion on the A board at the back of the lvds cable, luckily that didn't cause too much problem, I cleaned it, and to my surprise it came on, didn't know where that corroded path was going, so I will know what the sos 4 blink, but never mind, I had too much time on this one, thank's to all that helped here!

                        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 hereπŸ€”?
                        Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting πŸ˜‚.

                        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...

                        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 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....
