    Panasonic TC-P50U50 / 8 blinks

    I have a Panasonic TC-P50U50 that has the 8 blinks of death/won't turn on. Thanks to the posts in this thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=32594, I was able to determine that I've got an SS board that is bad, thanks to a loose screw at the top that was holding it on. Arcing marks all over the place.

    My question to those of you out there that have dealt with this set: Is it worth spending the $170 for the TXNSS1SDUU/SS board from pstc.panasonic (as I can't seem to find anywhere else that sells these boards), or take it to a repair place and see if they can solder on the parts from the "Component Repair Kit"? I don't have the soldering skills that I think would be required to pull something like this off (diode/resistor/transistor) as posted in https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...1&d=1383032300 .

    Thanks for reading this and any thoughts are appreciated.

      Most TV repair shops won't do custom repairs; if you bring a board to them they will probably tell you to bring the rest of the TV. There may be exceptions though.
      You might try finding a repair service on eBay or with Shopjimmy/Coppell TV repair/ModusLink PTS...

          not true,
          there are loads of shops that will fit the parts,
          they just wont warranty or test it. you will be paying for the soldering only.

              IC-152 goes bad with it too sometimes.....
              Shopjimmy has a kit that comes with R051,D041,Q051and IC-152 and better screws for $20.

              http://www.shopjimmy.com/panasonic-t...repair-kit.htm

              Don't try to replace IC-152 at 3am like I did,lol

                  Thanks for the replies everyone.

                  One final question - has anyone purchased parts from pstc.panasonic before? If so, do you know what kind of warranty they have?

                  I'll reply to this thread with the outcome in the next day or so. This site and its forums are awesome - so glad I found it!!!

                      i suspect there is no warranty because it could be damaged by other faulty parts.

                              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 😂.

                              Panasonic P58V11B 8 and 12 blinks error "fix"
                              by Biruslapio
                              Bought this TV used not working, panel flashed briefly on power up and it was blinking 8 times, a quick look on SS board revealed a common fault on the 3uF 250V capacitors, C201 to C205 (C1620X in the service manual), the solder joints were all cracked, C201 and C205 pins were darkened and some sparking had occurred on them, C201 was split open and clearly overheated in its last hours, replaced that one and resoldered the others, 8 blinks fixed.

                              Also the previous owner broke the antenna connector by taking the TV out of the wall mount forgetting to unplug it, I desoldered the tuner...

                              Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
                              by jm1234
                              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...

                              Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
                              by Alicat
                              Hello,

                              Stopped by this site trying to fix my parents Panasonic Plasma TV.

                              Model number is TH-50PZ85U

                              Power comes on and the red power light stays on solid.

                              Did a few checks like hold the power button on for 60 seconds, hold the - Volume while holding the menu button, no luck, still@ blank grey screen as the screen lights up very vague.

                              I also hear a few clicks.

                              I also think my parents said there was a thunderstorm and the TV failed after that.

                              Section 6 in the service manual talks about power and no screen,...

                              Looking for assistance troubleshooting a Panasonic TC-P65ZT60 with 3 LED Fast Blinks
                              by CrewmanRedShirt
                              Hello all,
                              As the title states, I followed the troubleshooting guide located here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/23...page=53#manual, which concluded the 'A' board needs to be replaced. Looking around the net and eBay, I see that there are repair services for the board (TNPH1043UE? Not sure if it is a 'UE' as the suffix grid does not appear marked). What additional troubleshooting can be performed to ensure 1) this board is the problem and 2) since there are repair services, what are they fixing on the board?) I expected 3.3V not to be available anywhere...
