    So, according to these measurements my SM board may just be okay.

    Moduslink wants $110 to refurbish it, $50 to test it if nothings wrong, which I was considering just for the peace of mind.

    So, unfortunately before you had responded with the "correct" diagnostic procedures I bought one off of Ebay for $28 including shipping. Seller had a 99.3% approval rating, so maybe I'll have a spare.

    I never mentioned that the guy I got the tv from had "2" of them, I gave $50 for the tv not knowing if it could be fixed so at that time I wasn't willing to risk buying 2 dead TV's.

    thanks for the continued support,

    Pete
    Oh, well

    It's $100, repair/return.

    Test what? the buffers? Have you checked for shorted transistors on the Sc like Q661? Pretty sure it will be bad SC.

    Only cheaper way would be self repair, the sure way is modus

      Yes, it's $100. Once I clicked on the repair my board option the price dropped.

      "shopjimmy" has a kit on Ebay right now for $42.99 which doesn't actually guarantee it will have all the bad parts. It would require replacing at least one IC and a couple of other surface mount items which I've never done but if other people can do it possibly so could I.

      But, for about another $50 bucks I can send it out to modus and have a guarantee on their work at least.

      Yes, I believe Q661 is shorted, possibly others but guess i'll chicken out of fixing it myself and send it off tomorrow. I really would like to see if I could fix it myself though........oh well.

      If this fixes it I may try to purchase his other tv and try fixing it myself. At this time I don't know anything about it except it's a 42" also and mysteriously stopped working.

      Thanks again TW. Without this forum and your help I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did and would still be throwing parts at a dead tv, or throwing it away.

      Pete

      I'll be sure to update this after the board comes back.

        Yeah, it's one of things you need to decide. it can seem simple but once you start pullling the board apart you're committed as most places won't touch it for repair. at least in the state it's in it's a known state.

        Only done a 5081 and a 5066 and both repairs are very similar. the 5105 would be along the same lines repair wise. In reality if time was no issue and parts sourced from china it'd be $10-20.

        If the other is the same model maybe once you have a good Sc and assuming the other is the same fault you could use the good board as a template.
        I've got a fair idea what most likely is bad but easy to say fix it, guidng someone , not always that easy.

        If you look at the board, rattling some quick part locations, , Ic773, Q701,702, 818, D702, Ic521 are some of the smaller things you'd need to be comfortable with removing and replacing. There's more than this but that's most of the small stuff off the top of my head

          Re: TC-P42U2 panasonic 42" plasma, 10 blinks

          Woo hoo!!! Well, I shipped my "SC" board to moduslink and they returned it within 10 ten days. I installed it, went for broke and reassembled the tv. It's now been working for several weeks without incident. other than the obvious transistors they replaced I really couldn't see much else, maybe it wasn't so bad the ic's needed replacement or I just couldn't tell the difference, they did return my original board. So I'd like to thank all of you that replied and for the recommendation to send it to moduslink! thanks again TW for the guidance and your patience!

                Sounds like a clamping diode in the PSU, often tested in cct and mistakenly suspected to be faulty.

                What exactly is the problem with your TV?

                    I thought you had the wrong part number, ST03D82 is in that link list but wrong thread for a PZ800, if 10 blink could be the common MC201/301 module issue on the PSU. Plenty of threads and youtube video on that, search model or PSU model and you should find it. NORCAL615 is the author

                        start a new thread for this model including all the info and what has been done etc

                        try Toms manuals in the sticky, bound to be one there, he's got a fair bit of experience with the PZ80/800 series
                        no point continuing here on a totally unrelated model.

                        thanks

                              You can't be 100% sure it's good checking SC2 resistance but you can certainly tell if it's bad when the resistance is low.

                              I'd say a reading of 300K ohms up to 2 meg. problem is measuring resistance in cct with the devices. It'll vary on the probe polarity too I find.

                              Maybe you could expand on your problem a bit more?

                              If you suspect a bad SC, this should have a TNPA5105, there should be several shorted out transistors if it has failed Q661 would be a common one to short.

                              EDIT: And as I've just read your intro you can disregard what I just said if your problem is with a PZ800 series as this thread is (was) about a 2010 P42U2

                                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,...

                                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...

                                Panasonic P50VT20B Plasma 12 Blinks, Power Supply or A-Board?
                                by Biruslapio
                                Hello, I've had this TV for 3 years, 2 years ago it stopped working signaling 12 Blinks, SOUND_SOS according to the service manual.

                                It has no VSUS or VDAT, and P15V has 1.0V instead, the same 15V goes to A board. F15V is ok and other main voltage rails.

                                It seems the power supply is defective, since unplugging D20 ribbon cable that goes from D-board to SC-board makes the behavior change, the TV stays on, there's no image nor VSUS, but 15V reads 2.4V, high enough to not trip the SOS 12 blinks, so it stays on, fans do not spin but I left it 2 hours, green led lit up...

                                Nothing smell or looks like burned. I think its the A board, but i did not find more infos how search error on the A board. Replace it its not an option: I dont find part for this TV in my country and if i give it to a repair shop its to expensiv...

                                What i have measured:

                                Panasonic ZT60 plasma tv with strange behavior and 8 blink code
                                by cloo
                                I recently got my hands on a 60" Panasonic P60ZT60 plasma tv (european model) that has some strange issues along with an 8 blink code.
                                It know this tv is getting old but it was once considered one of the best plasmas ever made, and i think it is still holds on to that even by todays standards.
