Panasonic TH-42PX60U 5 Blinks

[JollyGreenFox]

A customer dropped this off for us to throw away, anyway i looked up what the 5 blink error was, all i found was that the D board was giving the 5v SOS error but upon taking out the 50 or so screws there was no D board i checked all the model numbers on the boards and found nothing, my boss told me if i can fix it, it's mine no questions asked but my question is, if i need to replace the board is it worth fixing a plasma TV from 2006 with 2 HDMI inputs just for a PS3 and PS4

What do you mean there was no D board, Is it missing? or you can't find it in the tv? It is below the PA board and behind H board
Also it may not be the D board, sometimes the sc board or any other board that has a short on the +5 volt line can cause a 5 blink code.

Thank you both, i spent an hour looking for the D board but i needed to go deeper it seems, and i'm going to print out the Service manual because what they dropped off was a Phillips Tube TV manual

Ill post here if anything changes Thank you both so much for the help

I know this is old post and no one probably cares by now, but I too have the same TV and same problem and someone might be looking for the D board as well in the future. I could not locate the D board (TNPA3810 on my TV) either. It is well hidden behind the entire metal assembly housing the main input/output board. Make no mistake, it is not the board that is behind the tuner board, it his hidden behind the entire metal cage.

Confirmed. Found one on ebay for under $7. Wild guess if it will help...my set is throwing a set of 20 (!) blinks.
