My 2010 Panasonic TC-P50U2 stopped working a couple months ago, with the 8 blink error code which apparently indicates an SS/SS2 board issue. I'm a newb but figured I'd try to fix it myself rather than buy a replacement. My searches seemed to indicate that this SS board (TNPA5106AB) should be replaced as their are no "kits" available. I ordered a new board, which worked for a day before the same error appeared. I replaced the board again after getting a replacement, but it failed after 2 days! I've tried twice more to replace the board, but the last two haven't worked at all. I'm getting the boards from a reputable source, so it is hard to believe all 4 of the replacement boards are bad.
I did replace the SS-2 board as well the last time, just in case that was the issue, but the problem persists.
I have powered up the TV without the power supply line to the SS board and the TV works, albeit with a dim, red image.
Any thoughts on how a newb might troubleshoot this further, or should I just buy a new TV?
