    PANASONIC TH42PX8E - Various Faults

    Hi All,

    I've been given the above TV to repair if possible.

    I'll dive right into it if I may.

    PANASONIC TH42PX8E

    Fault behaviour:

    Firstly turning on the TV - First two times I got a Picture - the OSD stating no source found - what you would expect to see during normal operation without an aerial attached.

    After maybe 60 seconds the picture cuts out, and I am presented with a sequence of 12 blinking lights

    I again turned on the TV. Same result, however I was watching and noticed that a green square ran across the very top of the screen.... and then 12 blinking lights.

    Now a quick google and it would appear that the fault is with what's known as the A board.

    Before I committed to opening up the TV, I ran through the one/off procedure... now each time I am only getting 9 blinking lights - no picture.

    This fault code means Panel Config SOS.

    This is where I'm stumped.

    First couple of times I got picture before a 12 blinking light failure.

    Now each attempt is 9 blinking lights.

    I'm unsure what exactly Panel Config SOS means as the Technical Manual doesn't really state what to troubleshoot... can anyone help?

    I'll leave the Power lead removed while I'm asleep and re connect to see if I can again get a picture tomorrow.

      Hi All,

      I am still stuck with a 9 blink red LED sequence. PANEL CONFIG SOS error. This leads me to believe that it's possible software related?

          I would first remove the back cover and see if you notice any obvious things. A green haze does not sound good but that can be the buffer boards / sc board / ss board OR mainboard.

          I think i have read somewhere that the mainboard goes bad very often together with the power supply.

              Ok, I will take the back off once I get time and space. I need to do some research into the different components that make up a plasma TV.

              Thanks for the help so far. I know 12 blinking lights indicate to replace the A board....

                  Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 - Not Powering On - 3 Blinking Lights - 20 volts 0.224 amps
                  by bialag
                  Hello,

                  I have a Lenovo here that does not want to power on. The motherboard appears to be clean, no sign of corrosion or obvious fried components. When plugged in, I see 3 blinking lights and then off. It would cycle the 3 blinking lights every 10 seconds or so as long as I have the adapter plugged in. Amp meter shows 20 volts, 0.224 amps, no fan spin, red light indicator near the charge port.

                  Thermal camera shows a section of the motherboard that is warmer than the rest. It is near the connector labels JRTC1 (CMOS battery). Diode measurement to ground for pin 1 = OL,...

                  Sony XBR-75X950G seems dead with a black screen but backlight and sound is working and no blinking red lights
                  by Audeze
                  I have a 2019 75" x950g, and while playing a movie, the screen suddenly went dark in a weird way, where it faded towards one corner into being fully black. Now the TV turns on, and the backlight comes on, but there is nothing displayed except black. Sound still comes through the TV speakers, and i have tried doing a hard reset using the volume - and power buttons while plugging the display back in, but it did not fix it. I can confirm that pressing buttons on my remote is still doing "something" because I'm hearing sound still, even though the screen is black.

                  Does...

                  Panasonic Oled 55EZ950E, no picture, red led blinking every 4 sec
                  by riparo
                  Hi everyone, I have a Panasonic OLED TV model 55EZ950E, as soon as I turn it on I don't have any image the LED goes from green to red LED blinking every 4 sec, I found the service manual suggests checking OLED PANEL, PB BOARD, T-CON connectors but it seems like everything ok, I didn't find any burns under the pb board
                  I attach a link to download the service manual, thank you for anyone who can help me

                  Panasonic PF50G20S blinking 13 times
                  by CoinCoin88
                  Hello there,

                  Google led me again to badcaps when trying to troubleshoot a dying Plasma that is sitting at my uncle's roughly 550 km from where I am. It's an old G20 from 2010 or so, that isn't being actively used so you can consider the panel "not too sollicitated".

                  Symptoms: TV starts, works for 5-10 minutes, then screen turns black and safety kicks in and spits a 13-blink code with the red LED. Once this code kicks in, the TV will not display any image anymore. Unplug it for a few minutes, plug it again, it'll work then fail a few minutes later.

                  Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
                  by Andre Gilbert
                  Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing here🤔?
                  Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting 😂.
