Panasonic tc-p42s30

[Malachi]

Just picked this up today. It has 14 blinks. Service manual only lists up to 13 blinks but I've messed with enough of these panasonics to suspect the SN board (y buffer).
I leave for vacation tomorrow morning and won't be able to look at it for a week. I'm going to be thinking about it all week. Lol

hello...
14 blinks it the error for IR LED or A board. try to disconnect the remote sensor board, maybe it's not the A board.

14 blinks on these is Psu shutdown, doubt the Ir board even causes and error lol

Surprisingly I have the same Tv here (Uk model) has 14 blinks, 4 shorted fets on the SN. Im replacing all 6 30F131 type transistors and all the screws used for the SN board with ones that have ground washers.

Re: Panasonic tc-p42s30

I purchased a heat gun with multiple settings. I have the iron but if I mess it up most places refuse to work on them if they have been worked on.
