you might have to have a study yourself but the s2 has no link at P34 because of the soft start. The c2 has a link and a conventional on/off switch.

so you may need to remove the link and then find the pads on the A board where that switch would be and short it out momentarily to boot it up.

If I remember correctly, they were identical boards. Both had the AV suffix. I've been wrong before though.

AV would be for C2 models, AC is for S2 and has soft start

I'm sure you're correct. Thanks for the heads up.

Just got off the phone with the buyer. He was a very nice gentleman who really knew what he was talking about. Turns out, it was not an issue with the main board, but an issue with the IR board. Apparently when that board was disconnected, he could jumper the TV on. Once that board was connected, the roughly 5V at the connector dropped to less than 2V and the TV was dead. He had to call Panasonic 4 times and finally spoke to someone that was familiar with the issue. They sent him a service bulletin. I've asked if he would forward it. I'll post it if he does.

Sounds like a happy ending
