I was wondering the differences between the various Panasonic plasma SU/SD board combinations and if any are interchangeable. For example I have a TCP50S30 that has the 5336/5337 SU SD pair, but I have seen the TCP50U50 using the 5674/5675 and wonder if they could be used as a replacement for the 5336/5337. Thoughts? Anyone done this already and willing to share?

Re: Differences in Panasonic plasma SU/SD scan boards
I think if the manufacturer put different labels on the same named boards, it is because there are differenced between them.....without a schematic but having both boards at hand......look at the connectors and see if they match-up, if the parts lay-out is similar and if the working voltages are same. -
Re: Differences in Panasonic plasma SU/SD scan boards
Also need to know if the panels are the same!
I would not do it myself risking shorting the SC board , the buffer board and maybe other boards.
Even though the voltages are similar its risky....I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

Re: Differences in Panasonic plasma SU/SD scan boards
The boards look very similar as far as the chips, connector layout and mounting holes are concerned. The 50U50 and 50S30 are both 1080p plasmas arrays. I ordered the SU/SD pair from the 50U50 since they were a cheap working set. Will go over them when they arrive next week.

Re: Differences in Panasonic plasma SU/SD scan boards
Found out the following doing some research:
50U50 uses plasma array MD50F15C3A
50S30 uses plasma array MD50F14C3A
So it seems the 50U50 is 15th gen and the 50S30 is 14th gen.
Both are 1920x1080 FHD plasma arrays.
Looks promising so far...

Hi,
anyone able to provide the service manual for old plasma Panasonic TX-P42ST50E?
It turns off almost immediately (0~5 seconds after pressing the on/off button) and starts flashing the red diode 6 times.
I disconnected the left-hand side board (SC?, both the ribbon cable and the power cable to it) and also another ribbon going to bottom left board. Then the led signal is 8 flashes. According to service guide to another Panasonic plasma it would mean the left-hand side board is faulty. But I'm not sure it 100% applies to my model.
I checked that board for any obvious faults... -
Hi everyone!
I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.
Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several... -
I recently got my hands on a 60" Panasonic P60ZT60 plasma tv (european model) that has some strange issues along with an 8 blink code.
It know this tv is getting old but it was once considered one of the best plasmas ever made, and i think it is still holds on to that even by todays standards.
So, long story short. When i first got the tv it had a very bright washed out picture with very raised blacks in all picture modes and i couldn't find the cause in the picture setting menus.
After doing a factory reset this problem was gone and the picture was back to...01-06-2025, 06:02 AM -
Hello,
Stopped by this site trying to fix my parents Panasonic Plasma TV.
Model number is TH-50PZ85U
Power comes on and the red power light stays on solid.
Did a few checks like hold the power button on for 60 seconds, hold the - Volume while holding the menu button, no luck, still@ blank grey screen as the screen lights up very vague.
I also hear a few clicks.
I also think my parents said there was a thunderstorm and the TV failed after that.
Section 6 in the service manual talks about power and no screen,...10-30-2024, 10:09 AM -
My parents' Panasonic P42S30 died recently, and they asked me to have a look at it. I was able to identify the SN-board as the culprit, as it was shorted. After removing Q401, Q402, Q421 and Q422 the short was gone, so I replaced these components and that got the TV working again. However, when testing the tv a bit, I noticed quite bad pinkish sparkles on some colors. For instance the greyish bar on this forum seems to trigger it quite badly. I made a fullscreen test picture with only that color, with the below result.
There is about a 5cm high region at the top without any sparkles,...
