    Panasonic Plasma TC-P42X5, no picture

    Last year with the help of this forum (and moduslink) I was able to repair a Panasonic 42"plasma tv and I'm happy to say that tv is still doing fine. I recently acquired the above mentioned tv TC-P42X5 ( August 2012)with the following issue, no picture. The sound works, you can change channels when connected to a cable tv coaxial cable and the backlight works. You cannot see the menu and I inserted an SD card to check if that could be seen, it cannot. I haven't been able to find an online manual yet and this tv is internally different than the last. if some of you could push me toward a starting point i'd appreciate it. I have the back off and of course there are no obvious dangling connectors just waiting to be reconnected. There also don't appear to be any swollen caps or loose screws.

    thanks,

    Pete

    sounds like A board issue.

        Ding, ding, ding!!!! We have a winner. Once again TW2005 you prove you know your stuff, even if it was a guess. I purchased a new/refurbished "A" board (TNPH1001UA) from a vendor (not ebay) installed it, reassembled the tv and now it's working like it should. Thanks again for helping fix yet another tv, another saved from the trash can!

          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...

          Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
          by KYBOSH
          Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
          No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
          The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
          But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

          When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
          Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
          Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
          Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...

          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 AG-1000B VHS player with bad picture quality
          by FZG
          Hello!

          I recently got an old VHS player from Panasonic and just for fun I want to try to repair this device. It is an AG-1000B portable VHS player from 1990 and it has a problem with picture quality in playback mode.

          Picture in playback mode is very noisy and often loses sync but the still images are nearly perfect.

          I want to know, is this something that could be solved by recapping or is the video head likely gone?

          Also, what mechanism is this?

          Any feedback is appreciated!...

          Panasonic TH-65FX800A backlight LED's working but picture is very dark
          by Bazfletch3
          Hi all

          While I have quite a decent background in electrical & electronic troubleshooting & repairs, this is my first time stripping down an LCD TV for repair.... I have inherited a 3yr old Panasonic LCD which has a picture, but it is quite dark (too dark to be watchable - but still quite easy to see; I didnt need a torch to see it).

          I started by checking and trying to adjust all of the picture and backlighting levels, but that made little to no difference. I also did a factory reset.

          From there I envisaged that the backlighting wasn't working, however...
