From everything I've read and seen here 2011 on , not sure after 2012 only seen 2011 and 12 models.

I own one of these P50G20 , still a good TV

thanks good information to know.

The set is a Panasonic Viera TX-P50G20B and I have had this for approx. 5 years. I'm happy to try tightening the screws but as the set hasn't moved in the last 4yrs I'd be surprised if loose screws would be the cause?

I thought this was a mid range set not a budget argos tv.

I would class this as mid range. The V20 would be the top for FHD.(VT 3D)

It's the S series that's budget, noticeably cut down in the A board and SC boards using fewer components, and the buffers have no heat sinks

Both suffer similar failures of the SC and the A boards seem to have more issues with the BGA solders.

Another thought.

Have a good look at the cabling and connections too at SC2 and SS11 (Vsus supplies) . On that same G10 with arcing i also found extreme bluing and corrosion on the Sc2 pins , the lead and on the board under the white connector it had been arcing so bad it burnt deep into the board.

this was a TV that was fairly close to the coast so it may have been outside, salty air and dust build up?
