    Panasonic TC-P50X3 (7) blink code

    Trying to diagnose this plasma. Gives 7 blinks when everything is connected indicating an SN fault. Disconnect the SN board and get 8 blinks indicating SS fault. I have tried to research a bit but i'm not finding issues for this model. This model has a TNPA5313 SN board and TNPA5312 SS. Can someone give me some direction or advice on common issues with this? Thank you!

    I would say if you have a 7 blinker then the SN has shorted. You could just have a probe around on the IGBTs on the SN and see if any are shorted, maybe target ones marked 30F131 or DG301

    Removing SN and getting 8 blink would be expected I suggest but I'd probe the transistors on the SS too just in case since the SS and Sn are connected to each other and there's a chance one can damage the other.

    Shopjimmy has 1 board and it's cheap enough

      has plenty of the SS too even if you got both around $60 is a cheap fix

        In circuit, am I checking for short in its self or short against common ground?

          Against common ground, I have three DG301s shorted. Q421, Q422, and Q423 on the SN

            just see if there's a short between any 2 points of the 3 on those, so you have 2 legs and the metal tab which makes the 3 points of that part. They would normally be dead short when they fail, that's the most common way they go.

              I find the three RFN10 transistors shorted across both main pins. The DG301s and 30f131s test ok in circuit.

                that's normal, well i'm not exactly sure what part blows on this SN then, could be a shorted buffer ic but 7 blinks should be a bad SN because SOS 6,7 is triggered by that board, having SN20 disconnected triggers 8 as far as I know. Either wait and see if anyone has first hand experience on this model or grab a SN while you can.

                personally I'd grab both SS and SN purely because the SS is cheap and may reduce the risk of damaging the new SN if the SS has been damaged.

                i.e. replace both at once.

                  Finally got some time to test further. When I plug the tv in with everything connected and press power on, the SN board has an LED that lights and dims to nothing within a couple seconds. During this time, you can hear the charging of a capacitor. I tested the FETs on the rail and found the two RF2001's are showing short between the two main legs in circuit. Is this a known issue? Or maybe not an issue at all?

                    Re: Panasonic TC-P50X3 (7) blink code

                    Actually, it looks like the RF2001s are common cathode diodes so that should explain them showing short. Idk what else to test for. This is a customer tv who understands that I do this for a hobby and to learn. Does anyone have some component level advice on this SN board? I advised the customer against ordering the SN and SS board just in case the issue lies further than that.

                      Panasonic ZT60 plasma tv with strange behavior and 8 blink code
                      by cloo
                      I recently got my hands on a 60" Panasonic P60ZT60 plasma tv (european model) that has some strange issues along with an 8 blink code.
                      It know this tv is getting old but it was once considered one of the best plasmas ever made, and i think it is still holds on to that even by todays standards.


                      So, long story short. When i first got the tv it had a very bright washed out picture with very raised blacks in all picture modes and i couldn't find the cause in the picture setting menus.
                      After doing a factory reset this problem was gone and the picture was back to...

                      Panasonic Plasma repair - TH-P60GT50 - Dead, 3 blink code
                      by rmacintosh
                      I aquired this Panasonic 60" plasma around the time my first child was born. It was meant to be a project tv, hoping to fix it chipping away at the repair in my free time. Well that was 2 years ago and i'm really just getting around to making a sincere effort to see if I can ressurect this beast.



                      The symptoms of the tv ar as follows:
                      • Plug AC in to back of TV
                      • After about 2 seconds the relay on the P-sub board will click on and then a fraction of a second later it clicks back off
                      • The 3 blink code is given by the power LED
                      • If the TV is unplugged and then
                      ...

                      Panasonic TC-P42ST30: Repair for 14 blink code
                      by LongLiveMyPlasma
                      My beloved Panasonic TC-P42ST30 has been stricken with the 14 blink code.

                      I've spent many hours reading through forums, watching YouTube videos and reading the Panasonic plasma troubleshooting guide. But I'm a novice at this, and still need some help to cross the finish line.

                      I understand the Panasonic troubleshooting guide suggests that the 14 blink code usually means there's a problem with either P-board or A-board. However, I also learned the problem frequently rests with the SN-board.

                      Using my multi-meter, I was able to confirm the P-11 pin on the...

                      2 red blink code on old led tv Sony KDL-40W2000
                      by reporter1979
                      Hi all, the TV KDL-40W2000 was flashed by a lightning.
                      Firstly I got the 3 red blink code.

                      Following other threads I changed the power supply board and got always 3 blinks.
                      So I changed also the mainboard and now I get 2 blinks error code. Tried also with the other ps board, still getting 2 blinks.

                      The TV turns on for a minute or two with green led and blank screen, if I press buttons the green led blinks fast. It turns to 2 red blinking led after a while.
                      What else can I do?...
