    Panasonic 50in Plasma TC-50PS14 7 blinks

    Ok, this is my first thread so bear with me! I run the repair center for RainWise Inc so I have a decent electronic background and fix many electronics on the side for extra cash, normally video game systems and this is my first T.V, was given it for free for fixing an xbox 360 so I have nothing invested in it and plan to resell it if I can fix it. Basically not looking to invest a whole lot in replacement parts if thats what it comes down to. Anyways, onto the topic....

    This is a Panasonic TC-50PS14 and the power light is flashing seven times. I opened it up and it was DUSTY, fans were bound up with dust, got everything clean and this is the inside...


    (This is not the exact one I have, I couldnt figure out how to upload my image so this is one off the internet, exact same model though)

    So anyways, I disconnected the SC board completely which also disconnects the SU and SD boards and the tv now blinks 6 times. I'm thinking that means a bad SC board which does not seem readily available. Does anyone know any other testing methods? I'm hoping it is the SU or SD since those are quite cheap. Feel free to offer any advice or correct anything I may be wrong about...

      disconnect the 3 connectors from the SC to the SD/SU. remove the 4 medium sized Vf gnd screws that attach the buffers to the SC.

      On the SC there is a 2 pin connector SC50. Jumper that, then turn TV on . If it starts up and stays on with no 7 blink then SC is good and fault is the SD/SU. If not then Sc is bad but you'll still have to check the buffers for shorts.

              Odds are it's the SC, there are repair kits, not sure how hit and miss they are. That will be your cheapest option since you're already electronics trained.

              TNPA4782AB?

              There are board repairers out there, around the $150.

              SJ has a $30 kit but there's varying degress of what comes with these.

                  Yea I'm sure the kits are decent but we order prolly $5k a month from mouser and digikey. Can probably get the parts sneaked onto a order but can only sell the thing locally and it is 5 years old so realistically might get 200-300, may just part it out on ebay if the SC is gone.

                      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,...

                      Panasonic Plasma ST50 TC-P55ST50 P55ST50 8 blinks
                      by nick31
                      Hello,
                      My Oct 2012 panny plasma quit working yesterday.
                      It was on when it happened. It let out a bit of burned plastic/circuit board smell. I was not able to find any burned parts though.
                      Now it produces 8 blinks. According to the repair manual, that points to SS/SS2 board(s).
                      I completed the steps in the guide: unplugged SS33, the TV turned on with a black screen, no blinking codes. Then I checked the continuity between pins 1 and 2 of the connectors SS52, SS54-SS57. The continuity is ok in all of them. Guide suggests to replace SS/SS2 boards so I placed an order...

                      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 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...
