    Panasonic GT30 - 7 blinks

    Hi,

    I was watching TV the other day and i heard a noise (more like a crack or pop than buzz) and TV went dead with power LED flashing 7 times. I checked the SC board and it is shorted. I have ordered a repair kit (all 6 RJP30 and 30F131 transistors, plus the 7R5 resistors) but i also noticed that the resistor R834 is chipped like a piece flew out of it. I don't know if it was like this from manufacturer since I've never opened the TV until now. I measured the resistor and seems fine (68K, 1W) but I wonder if this was the cause of the board going bad.
    Also, is there a way to test/measure whether the SU/SD board is still ok (or at least not obviously defected)?
    I'm trying to figure out what made the noise since other than the resistor R834 all components seem physically intact. Would it be possible for the plasma panel to crack and if so is there a way to tell? I don't see any visible damage from viewer side.
    Regards,
