    could be something simple like a poor LVDS cable connection. I've had that with a PA50(2005 model). If you can post some pictures by using Go advanced and manage attachments. just helps to give a clear idea .

          yeah, that changes things. I'm thinking SS board now. maybe wait for some other opinions on it. Not sure if SC board can cause that or not.

                Try downloading this manual, large at 55meg and old. I think you need to dpen the HTML document which is the menu. A single pdf would be better. Might be some info in there.

                With some luck Tom may have some ideas, I have not tinkered much with those old models

                    I think this is 2nd gen Panasonic plasma (2002?), my bet also to SS board.

                      It is about 10 years old. which one is the ss board and is it worth fixing? I took the back cover off and can see all the boards. If it is the ss board, do I just replace that one?

                        For me, it's old tech , but I fixed a 2006 PA60 and for a SD set the picture was ok.

                        If you're happy with it and assuming it's the SS board, I found this $10 board.

                          wow that's cheap. I will definitely take the chance on that. I prefer repair over replace any day. thanks a bunch. I will order that today and let you know how it goes.

                            Out of interest for an old plasma:
                            - Any burn in?
                            - Any sign of flickering/malfunctioning pixels? (maldischarge) before SS failure

                            Aside from genuinely faulty Panasonic sets I've never seen maldischarge on a Panasonic, would be interesting to hear how they hold up with age. I have a 2011 Samsung plasma which has maldischarge on the screen, for such a new set that's crazy.

                              I love the tv. I figure its 11 years old. I have not had any issues with it at all up until this. it is the perfect size for the room and if you guys think that the ss board could be the problem then ill go that route. I am sure that a new tv would be much better with picture quality but I have a hard time letting go of things that I like. I am going to get the ss board and see if it fixes it.

                                Ok so i purchased the ss board and installed it last night. That did not fix it. Any ideas ? Should i try the sc board or call it qiuts?

                                    Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light

                                    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 screen interference on left half of screen
                                    by Zelek11
                                    My Panasonic Plasma model P55VT50 has started displaying "interference" on just the left half of the screen only (left when facing the screen). Sometimes it's concentrated in about the first 30 seconds after startup, then disappears. Other times it's fine at startup and then randomly does it later on. When it flashes the interference it's very quick and doesn't stay on the screen unless it flashes repeatedly in a row.



                                    This image is a screen shot from a video I took. This is an example of the interference at its worst. Often the interference is much smaller...

                                    hello,
                                    I hope someone on this forum can assist me.
                                    I have a panasonic TH-42PC77U plasma television.
                                    the lower 1/2 of the screen has become flaky....in and out, then finally goes black and you can only see the top portion.
                                    i have performed the reset to default settings quite a few times. Panasonic recommended..did not believe this would help...it didn't.
                                    I have removed the back panel and looked around for something obvious...burn marks in a board, etc....nothing obvious...
                                    I have read some posts that suggest the problem is related to the boards on the left...

                                    Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                                    My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                                    This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...
