    Blown Panasonic TC-P50S1

    This is my buddy's TV. He said he heard multiple loud pops and then no power. It looks to have at least a problem on two of the boards. First of all, is it worth fixing a 5 year plasma, or has it already seen its useful lifespan? He said he loved the picture quality of it and that's why he wanted me to look at it.

    On the power supply, the only problem I can see is that bulged thunderous 1400uF 220V Chemi-con cap.

    On the SC board, there is at least a blown diode and FET. Is this thing worth fixing?

    Sorry for the pic quality

    If it is only the FET and the diode, then yes it is worth fixing it. Also I recommend changing the 2 big caps on the power supply. Changing the two smaller ones might also be a good idea. You also might want to check the other boards, and componets on them, for damage as the there might be a short somewhre, but by the looks of it changing the FET and diode should be enough to get the tv up and running.

    P.S. You might want to take the heatsinks of the two buffer boards from picture 7 and check the chips sometimes they get fried when a short occurs.

      That cap may or may not be an issue. I find on the PSUs I have those big ones the tops tend to have a slight raise in their lids. Hard to say if the camera angle is making it look worse or not.

      The TNPA4782 SC board though, board repair is usually the only option as these are near impossible to get and expensive.

      I doubt it's just the P channel FET and the diode, i would expect other IGBTs and also some small SMD components as well.

      I think around the $150 mark I see for people repairing these and you'd have to check the SD/SU boards and make sure they are not shorted too.

      Definitely needs a big blow out, enough dust there combined with humidity could potentially short things out but the SC on these usually fails like this at some stage.

      Is it worth it? All depends if your happy investing that sort of money. What's a used working 2009/10 model worth?

      If you were good enough to work out how to repair the SC yourself I would say yes if you source the parts could work out cheap enough but HOMBRE is the only one I've read who has done a 4782 and he think he had 2 or 3 goes at it so parts cost could blow out .

        I would try to repair it, but it's up to you
        There is plenty info on this forum what to check, how to check, and that means alot of reading (at least in my case was like that )
        Check buffers for shorts, SC is most definitely gone. $30-40 in parts is my guess, to change everything that is bad (but that is only rough guess - could be more or even less than that).

          Thanks guys for the replies, I really appreciate it! I'm no expert on TV troubleshooting, by a long shot. My buddy didn't want to spend a ton of money on it just because of the age of it. We were hoping it would be something more simple. I would consider selling some of the boards for parts, but I wouldn't want to risk sending anyone a bad board.

            The core would be worth something, Koshevo $139 Ebay, giving 12months wty and 100% feedback

              Argon SA1 audio amplifier power-supply - fuse blown after fixing the short?
              by Babbar
              I found a project in the electronics trash yesterday. A nice Argon SA1 audio amp with some electrical issue. Took it apart and saw that the 4A250V fuse was blown so started lifting components to find the short. Eventually got to two MOSFETs (model FTA14N50C) that are shorted and when i took them out the short was gone.

              Now i didn't have any replacements of the same model of course but i found a couple with pretty similar spec i thought (K10A60D & K12A50D) and put them in. Also replaced the blown fuse with a 3.5A250V one. Checked another time for short circuit and plugged it in....

              Trouble fixing Panasonic su-htb500 sound bar
              by chuds
              I am repairing Panasonic su-htb500 recently, the main power supply is not powered, the standby power supply is 5.84V, I replaced the capacitor C5726 on the main board of the power supply, and now I find that the output voltage of ic700 is only 0.4v, and the main power supply still can't work, can anyone provide a repair In addition, I also found a problem. The pins of IC700 are different from the common ones, and the information cannot be found (the part number is C0CBABC00117). Does anyone know what type of IC to use instead, thank you!

              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 hereπŸ€”?
              Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting πŸ˜‚.

              LG 47LB5DF blown power supply board
              by cmlewis89
              Hi folks,

              I'm new to this forum. So my trusty 17-year-old LG 47" LCD recently died. As I was booting it up, I heard a hum followed by a loud bang, sounds of pieces flying around, and loss of power to the unit. Inspecting the PSU, I saw two obvious problems: a blown thermistor (bang + flung pieces) and a visibly bulging main cap. Inspecting as many components as I could with my Fluke MM, I diagnosed that the following components on the "hot side" of the board were also bad: one of the 2 main MOSFETs, main 8A fuse, small cap (25V 47uF) connected to main caps, and a blown...

              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...
