    Panasonic th-42px60 always powers up on hdmi2

    I have a Panasonic TH42PX60 that came in claiming to be totally dead.
    I am thinking power supply right. Wrong. The unit powered up.
    I checked all the caps in the power supply, and they are all testing good with my ESR meter, and the set is functioning what I initially thought was normal, except when it is turned off, and then back on, it goes to HDMI2, even though there is nothing plugged in. I can switch it back to tuner, and it goes to channel 3, from there I can change channels.
    Turn it off and on again, and it is again on HDMI2.
    It doesn't matter what input is set to it always reverts to HDMI2.

    Anyone seen a strange problem like that before?

      Try changing power up mode in setup menu from AV to TV.
      Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

          I don't see any option to change power up mode in setup menu. Is this in a hidden service menu?

              Maybe the PSU suffered some temporary overload and shutdown, only resettable by pulling the plug, which the owner may not have tried?

                  Does this set retain other user settings like contrast and brightness and volume when power cycled ? Maybe the serial eeprom is fubar.

                      Panasonic TC-P50U50 Powers Off - 8 blinks
                      by nobbnobb1
                      Hello,

                      I have a Panasonic TC-P50U50 plasma TV which powers on briefly, then powers off and flashes the power light with 8 blinks. This TV is infamous for this, of which the suggestion that the SS board has failed due to loose grounding screws and requires a replacement of the following components on the SS board:

                      2x DG302 (Q16051)
                      2x RF2001 (D16041)
                      2x 5.6 ohm SMD resistor
                      1x BD8694 IC

                      I have already gone ahead and replaced these components, as well as cleaning off the ground connections on the SS board as well as the associated...

                      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 😂.

                      Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                      by AquaMan Ua
                      Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                      Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-55M1 [GH51G mb] powers on, no vcc_core
                      by malogro
                      Hello all,

                      I'm stumped on this guy, so wanted to see if anyone has any further ideas:

                      Intro:

                      This is an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-55M1 with unknown prior history (bought "as-is" on eBay). It charges the battery and powers on from both AC adapter and battery, so I think this rules out main power issues.

                      Upon attempt to boot, it will "reboot" (meaning powers down and then powers on again) only once, and then stays stuck in a status of lights on / no post / no monitor. Powering on with fn+esc maxes out the fans on first boot attempt,...

                      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...
