Hi all,
I purchased a used Panasonic TC-50PU54 plasma screen display off craigslist last fall for $100. At the time the TV was non-functional but i had isolated the issue to the dreaded 8 blink error and the fried board was easily replaced thanks to some great info from this site.
Since October the display worked perfectly with my Playstation 4 until one day it didn't. I have tried everything from different hdmi cables to testing both devices to factory settings but still the TV behaves as though nothing is plugged in and displays a black screen with no signal detected.
I have narrowed it down through trial and error:
So it seems clear to me that neither device is wholly faulty, unless they are used together and then there is some failure to communicate.
Can anyone help?

I have narrowed it down through trial and error:
- The Tv displays my laptop perfectly via the same HDMI port and through the same HDMI cable
- The PS4 also works perfectly when plugged into my older Vizio LCD display.
So it seems clear to me that neither device is wholly faulty, unless they are used together and then there is some failure to communicate.
Can anyone help?
