panasonic plasma tc-p55vt50 3 blink code

[chris288]

Hey guys new to the forum, hoping to get some help with my panasonic plasma. my panasonic 50" plasma died after 4 years with a 7 blink code, now my 55" is on deaths door after only 2 years with a 3 blink code. unplugged it for a few hrs. plugged it back in and did it again. unplugged it, called pc richard tv repair, long story short they charged me 100.00 to stand in my living room for 15 minutes because it wouldn't do it again, said its sure to do it again call back, i asked for an estimate given the codes should provide a clue as to what was wrong. he said he would call me in a day or 2, never heard from him, 3 days later the 3 blink code is back, called for another appt. 2 days later, he doesnt even bother to show up, just says he called panasonic and the parts are 650.00 labor another 200.00. I asked what the part #'s were he said its against policy to give that information out. only it was a power board. so i'm hoping to find out what board it is and see if i can find it on ebay or something and replace it myself and save many hundreds of dollars. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris

Did you ever find the source of the 3 blink problem and get it resolved?

I asked what the part #'s were he said its against policy to give that information out.

It's not confidential like a social security number, so tell him to eat mouse turds and die from hantavirus!

If I were you, have him arrested for trespassing the next time the repair guy comes...
