    Some possible test points: check across each dotted device, DC20V.

      thanks tom will check them now, the seller has come back and assured me it was tested. He will even send me his from his working tv if im sure its not working.

      Do you think my fault ie 10 blinks after power, was in fact main and another part >? Anything other than an dodgy main cause no picture ?

        There's a very small chance the D board could cause this fault, tw2005 might be able to chime in on how to get full white pattern on this, if it's at all possible? Very few sellers do test the boards but it is possible you have found one who does...!

          Can't sleep! Anyway, disconnect, A5(LVDS cable), A6,A7, power on and full white on my PZ800, or A5, P6,P7. Had to push the power button to turn it on, there will be no front LED indication, not on mine at least.

          If the LVDS is left in, goes to a gray, primed screen.

          i was trying to do a bit of a search for the A board. TXN/A1SJTB comes up for 42,46,50" sizes which is unusual. Normally those numbers would be unique for each size.

          I noticed in your photo "CB" in front of that suggesting Rev CB which I'm getting the feeling it's a 50" version. TNPH0724CB

          There is a SUFFIX legend on the board and position of the jumpers decodes what it is.

          Was the board sold as specifically for a 42 or TXN/A1SJTB?

          Have not worked out what rev for the other sizes yet but on your original A, on that white sticker with TXN/A1SJTB, are there 2 letters at the beginning and are they the same as the replacement?

            Not much luck, but found this http://www.wisiny.com/tnph0724cb-pan...a1sjtb-a-board

            I don't know really, maybe the D board configures it for the size of the panel?


            Board Number(s):

              I know that the A board knows it's in a 46" for example (SELF-CHECK shows "2008PDP 46FHD"), but I don't think that it is otherwise any different. Might change help options/model numbers or something more obscure like Eco mode or sound levels, who knows.

                I don't have enough experience with these older ones with the D boards etc but on the newer all-in-one A boards they're definitely configured for one size.

                  Yep the D board is, because it has different drive algorithm for different panel sizes.

                    Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ81 - 10 Blink / Flash

                    hi all sorry for delay work duties got in the way again lol

                    Ok im going to try and cover all you asked me to check but sorry if iv missed anything

                    Tom - those measurements

                    The first 4 are all 15.6 volts, the other two back points are 1.8 for the top and 1.3 for the bottom

                    TW2005 - the revisions match they both are CB

                    There are some differences tho the sticker with the alphabet and certain letters are crossed out ( i would have thought this was date or manufactures line details )

                    and there are 2 other stickers that have differences - please see the pics

                    I have been told by the seller that it is indeed out of a 50 but will fit 42 and 46

                    I think this is the reason and it is size specific as that would make a lot more sense

                    If you guys could have a look and tell me what you think please ?

                    First 2 are original board 42 and the second two are from the 50

                          Those boards would be the same then going by the sticker. i'd take up the guuy's offer of another board but I'm wondering if there's a missing voltage 0n A6/A7?

                            1.8 & 1.3V is fine, core voltages are there then, odd...

                              Yeah, I did not have time to go through and read the results but i was thinking along these lines.

                              with A6 & A7 removed you have dull grey screen which sounds like his current condition, then remove A5 and full white. So i was wondering if there was something on A6 / A7 missing or a problem on the A board along those paths since the rest of the TV reacts normal to the full white test.

                                So should I try the other board then ? The board is in 3 parts would it be worth trying a combination of the original and new one?

                                  The other boards are for Freesat (OTA free satellite TV) they shouldn't affect the operation of the rest of the set.

                                    If the seller has offered another board, I'd try that.

                                    If you want to try something random, put the original back in and leave A52 disconnected which should go to the GS board and see if still 10 blink.

                                      My panasonic 10 blink experience... someone gave me a broken panasonic 42 inch plasma; kids hit it with a baseball... so i know all the guts inside are good... found another unit with a good screen got it; it had a 10 blink code; which i didnt really care as I had all good boards... swapped them all in and still got 10 blinks...

                                      I now call it the 10 blinks of death... when i went back and looked at the boards they were all rusted and corroded; turns out the unit was used outside... the panel itself is like a gas lite light bulb it has and has x-amount of life to it too... Im going out on a limb here and going to say your panel is shot....

                                        I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're talking complete nonsense.

                                        Panel life is well over 50,000 hours. I have had one with 14,000 hours on it. NO burn in. NO maldischarge. Every pixel is working as good as it came out of the factory. Comparing a 5,000 hour set to a 12,500 hour set (both 46"), I can just see brightness on the older one is very slightly lower, maybe by a few percent.

                                        So good, I kept two PZ80s for myself!

                                        10 blinks: SUB voltage failure - A board, SC board or P board. Can't be caused by the panel.

                                        The actual panels on these sets are highly reliable: the P board is the common failing point, but it's at least easily fixed.

                                          Thats interesting so how is it that plasma panels fail often due to ribbon separation INSIDE the panel and the panel is NOT repairable at all..?
                                          I will wait..?
                                          Sure panasonic might be a better built product -not at all interchangable with any other products either- but its still a plasma tv that uses electricty and creates heat and guess what has the same failures as all the others on the market...
                                          panasonic has their buffer defects and z sys blow outs and PSU failures too; so now what makes the panel exempt..?

                                          I know a beach bar the guy who used to manage it swore by plasma TVs however since it was outside on the beach once the unit goes off it never turns on again thats it life is over; so these unit would stay on 24/7 2 years max and then they are junk... nothing is usable inside at all NOT EVEN THE PANEL!!!

                                          Also the panel ribbons on these panasonics are wax paper strong and rip very easy; good luck with that 10 blink fix though...

                                          again I but a known full good set of tc-42px14 -i think I got like 3 pani guts units from broken screens- gut which as I said before went into an exact same unit with the 10 blinks code all boards are good same issue same 10 blinks; its a bad panel...
                                          you cant tell its not... all the boards are good the only variable is the panel itself...

                                          I am not trying to rain on the fix parade i am just saying my expierince with the panasonic 10 blinks led to a bad panel result for ME...

                                          I am simply posting my situation as to let others know that sure you can swap in a whole new set of boards from a good known working unit to another and still get 10 blinks... YOUR WELCOME!

                                            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...

                                            Hi everyone,

                                            I'm new here and trying to repair my Panasonic TX-P50V10E plasma TV, which is currently showing the 6 red blink error code.

                                            Just for context: I'm used to building PCs and installing modchips in old consoles, but this is my first time trying to fix a TV. I'm French, and while my English is okay, I'm using ChatGPT to help translate and clarify my messages as much as possible — so please forgive any odd phrasing.

                                            I'm also not very experienced with using a multimeter, but I'm very motivated and ready to follow instructions carefully and report...

                                            Nikon D800 camera - flash don’t work and capacitor don’t charge
                                            by corrize
                                            Hello, I'm stuck in troubleshooting…
                                            The flash system works like that : when the (mechanic) flash button is pressed, the flash mecanically pop up, and a circuit buck boost elevate 7v (batt) to 200-300v (?) for charging the big capacitor. And when the photo shoot button is pressed, the capacitor is discharged in the xeon light.

                                            In the D800, there is a first « power board » close to the battery. 2 wires (batt 7v) goes to another little « flash board ». I measured 7v, so ok.
                                            When I press the flash button, it's detected by the system, flash icon appear on LDC display....

                                            by James Jackson
                                            I usually try to figure these things out on my own but am asking for help now as I have been beating my head against a wall.

                                            Backstory, I initially ended up with a CF20 Mk2 with a locked BIOS. I used aptio to read the BIOS and made the adjustments to the .rom file and attempted to write it back with aptio before reading other users problems with that setup. Well it bricked the BIOS go figure. Computer no longer boots, black screen. I found a clean BIOS on this forum but now I am having ME issues. So I would rather hand over the aptio dump(pre BIOS brick) and a hardware reader dump(post...

                                            Panasonic TH-42PZ800 8-blink error mystery
                                            by nervx
                                            Years ago my tv gave a 7 blink code which turned into 8 during diagnosis. I had ordered a replacement ss board but somehow the tv started working again and i never used the board. Now a week ago my tv flickered and shut off at random and gave the 8 blink error code. The same issue it had all those years ago. The only difference this time is that over the last few months there has been some purple and green tinge that comes and goes in more solid colors such as white.

                                            Anyway i checked all the screws and replaced the ss board with a known good one and still got 8 blinks. I saw a...
