Panasonic tc-p50x3 won't turn on

[Toddyposs]

I picked up the TV from the dump so I have 0 into it. I brought it home and first checked for bad capacitors. All checked out well and I plugged it in. I heard the relay click and the standby red led comes on steady. The screen didn't turn on or even prime. If I hold down the power button it clicks once again and when I let go it clicks 3 times. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

The side buttons

You need the remote for these. I brought a couple a month back both "stuck in standby" owners lost the remote. After using a remote both I had they worked perfect.

Ok I'll give that a try. Do they have a universal remote or does it have to be made specifically for that model TV?

They are all universal. There is a universal remote on ebay for under 10$ , works perfectly.

I just ordered one of Amazon and should be here this week. I'll post the results. My first plasma TV is there anything I should know about them?

Re: Panasonic tc-p50x3 won't turn on

Could I program my direct tv remote to the TV to turn it in that way?

No, you can use a URC from 99p store though.

With a Panasonic--All you need do--

Is hold Vol+ (Or F+ if its the multifunction type) button on set down for 5-10 seconds.

Set will fire up if all is well-- or try to then give blink code if not!

I use almost exclusively the remotes from B&M, Bit more expensive but usually ALL the functions work correctly (plus I remember all the usual codes for 'em)--Except on any Vestel crap--and I don't bother with those turds much these days--I leave 'em for the part-timer!

Now that procedure is just on the remote only? Not on the set itself? I ordered the correct remote and it should be here Thursday.

Err--No!

On The TV Set! That's the whole point, If you lose remote you can still use the set

[Toddyposs]

Re: Panasonic tc-p50x3 won't turn on

Ok I'll give that a try after work. Do I do that with the standby light on or off?

[Moreno83]

Re: Panasonic tc-p50x3 won't turn on

Has to be with standby light on. Its not a powerbutton haha

[Toddyposs]

Re: Panasonic tc-p50x3 won't turn on

Ok thanks. I'm hoping this is all the problem is and hoping the previous owners didn't put any effort into trying to figure out what the problem is prior to bringing it to the dump. I'll post the results in 8 hours! Haha

Ok so I just tried holding the vol + button for 5 seconds probably more with the standby light on and nothing happened. I'm not sure what to do next.

Re: Panasonic tc-p50x3 won't turn on

Any Panasonic TV remote will probably turn this on using the power button. Also a possibility that it could be in locked mode if vsus is shorted at either an or ss board .

[Toddyposs]

Re: Panasonic tc-p50x3 won't turn on

Is there any way I could test and see if one or the other might be the problem? For example unplugging the boards at desperate times and trying to get it I fire up?

I don't have the manual at the moment but you could try disconnecting all these at the one time. being a HD model this will have the SS ERC cct connected to the Sn board so there is always a chance either board could take each other out.

disconnect, sn2, ss11, p35, 3 white ribbons at the A-board. Try turning it on and see if it powers up, say back probe vsus at the p-board if it comes up then the Tv is running . Seems to be debatable wheteher you need a remote or not. i'm surprised if you can't wake it using the side buttons all of mine I can 2009-2011 models but this is a Tv in a different region to me so whatever.

Re: Panasonic tc-p50x3 won't turn on

With Everything except the white ribbons unplugged I get a 7 blink code.
