    Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks

    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 like mosfets, diods etc. All the electrolythic caps seems to be 90% of their original capacitance, while ESR looked fine (<1ohm) I think.
    Any suggestions?

              I found a disfunctional optocoupler on the SN board, replaced it and the issue is still the same - 6 flashes. :-(

                  IC2960 for A Board - Panasonic TH-P42X10Z Plasma Television
                  by dom.true
                  Hi Folks,

                  I have a Panasonic TH-P42X10Z Plasma Television (2009-era; New Zealand model).

                  This set has proven to be extremely reliable throughout its +16-year lifespan. However, late last year, when going to use the TV, I noticed a 9-blink red LED error code on the front of the set after the television failed to turn on. A quick Google search revealed that this indicates a problem with the set’s main A-board.

                  After opening up the set and giving the board a thorough test with my digital multimeter, I found that one of the integrated circuits on the board...

                  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.

                  Assuming...

                  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...

                  by m1ch43lzm
                  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 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...
