    Well in a lot of cases that shorts so board must have some other issue which I'm not going to try and figure out.

    All i can suggest is

    installed SC - 7 blinks,

    2 pairs of sd/su were boards used and confirmed good, same 7 blinks for both sets.

    ,isolated sd/su boards as per panasonic sd/su isolation test,

    still 7 blinks, SC board is causing 7 blinks.

    A-board confirmed good.



    You can write as much or little of the above, up to you.

      Thanks a lot. I'm sending that one off tomorrow, and the replacement was already shipped today.

        Well--partial success. I installed the new SC board, and now the TV turns on and stays on, and the sound is fine, but the picture only partially shows up, in squares of grainy red. In the attached photo, the bright area at the top is the reflection of a lamp; other than that the photo is an accurate representation of how the screen looks.

        Thoughts?

        Thanks.

          not , good. turn off.

          check and make sure all panel ribbons are in correctly, check that the small white ribbon connector that join the su to sd is in place, try the other set of buffer boards. If still the same could still be bad SC.

          is everything else connected including the SS board.

          can you look at the sc and confirm board number and revision suffix or what is on the white sticker if it has one

            Sorry to butt in Joey..could you do me a favor and check something on your set for me? With A6 disconnected from A board, can you check pins 9 and 10 of the socket for A6 on the board for resistance to ground? Thanks a million!

              I'm about to leave for work, so I'll try these things this evening. Thank you both for the suggestions.

              One thing to add: while the set was on, the picture gradually improved some, in the sense that the amount of black decreased and the amount of grainy red picture increased. It ended up with solid black horizontal bands alternating with horizontal bands of the grainy red picture. Overall more picture than black.

                So...one step forward, one step back. I discovered a loose connector to the SS board, hidden underneath the A board. Now everything is great--except the picture has black horizontal lines running through it, as shown in the attached photo...

                  you have very badly seated ribbons going from the panel to the sd/su. They need to be in straight, and all the way. they go in then a whisker more , you will feel them wedge in.

                  Only do this with TV off, the bad areas will align with the ribbon that is wrong. Take your time, be gentle and grab either side of the ribbon and insert keeping it perfectly straight, they may have notches to help show if either side is misaligned.

                    Thanks! I'll get to that tonight. In the meantime, will it hurt anything if my wife watches the TV today, or should it stay off until I fix it?

                      get it right first, unless you want to risk the SC board again

                        That did it! Thank you so much!

                        It's good as new, except for one thing--there's a slight buzzing noise whenever graphics are superimposed on the screen (like sports scores during the news, or a telephone number during a commercial). I've owned televisions before that did that, but I would swear that this one never did that before.

                        Thanks again. I wish I had found this site much earlier in the process!

                          Anyone have a list of needed transistors and diodes for a typical repair for the SC board?

                            Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
                            by jm1234
                            Hi,
                            anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
                            It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
                            I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
                            I checked that board for any obvious faults...

                            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,...

                            by nick31
                            Hello,
                            My Oct 2012 panny plasma quit working yesterday.
                            It was on when it happened. It let out a bit of burned plastic/circuit board smell. I was not able to find any burned parts though.
                            Now it produces 8 blinks. According to the repair manual, that points to SS/SS2 board(s).
                            I completed the steps in the guide: unplugged SS33, the TV turned on with a black screen, no blinking codes. Then I checked the continuity between pins 1 and 2 of the connectors SS52, SS54-SS57. The continuity is ok in all of them. Guide suggests to replace SS/SS2 boards so I placed an order...

                            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...

                            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...
