Panasonic TH-42PY8P - problem

[domix]

Hello,

i've a problem with my plasma. Sometimes it turn on but sometimes not. Problem is probably with this magnets near the blue cable or what it this. They go out then is fine and work, but when they jums back inside than tv wont turn on. Neither the fans doesnt starts.

What you think is the problem or how to solve it?

Thank you

Those look like relays to me. You need a service manual to tell what controls them, and what they control. Tom66 may have one or electrotanya.

I'm betting on a 10 blinks fault as most common. When the TV does not work see if the power light blinks. If it blinks 10 times, pauses, 10 times, pauses, etc. You have a common fault. It is easily fixed but requires a steady hand.

Where can i get service manual for this, to see what this relayss control.

But sometimes tv works just fine, sometimes when this relays not coming out then dont work.

Check the power light. Does it blink red? Count the blinks. Intermittent faults on these 99% of the time are 10 blinks

Relays control INRUSH LIMITER, which stops TV popping fuses when turned on.

But the relays themselves probably aren't bad, it's just detecting a fault and shutting them down.
