Panny 65VT30 Screen Power Cycle Issue

[jaxsully]

New to the forums here and searched for an answer extensively before posting.

I have a 2011 Panny 65VT30 and it has run flawlessly for 5 years. The other day it started to click and what seemed to be a power cycle and then came back on. During this time I heard the typical 'clicking' noises that it does when it turns off and on.

This happens when the TV has been on for an extended period, i.e. over 3 hours.It will cycle and then it might not happen for another 20 minutes.

I know many have reported the 7,8 & 10 red light blinking issue. However, the light does not blink on mine.

Any thoughts?

Sounds heat related could be A board but just to share my experience with my 50st30 which also has gremlins. Mine if left on in standby for extended periods does 1 of 2 things. Waking it with the remote it will either click and the tv is dead and no standby led , or the led blinks goes to start and then suddenly click power dies no led light. Using the power switch if I cycle it the standby comes back and i can turn it on normally.

I thought it was going to be A board but I recently found another board and no changes so it is looking like the P Board.

So are the boards getting harder to find? Is there a good source that you can share?

Can you still open shopjimmys website because I've tried several times and I just get an error saying your not authorized to access this server... or similar to that anyway any ideas?

If you are told you can not access this server it is because you are not located in the USA. If your IP address is not within the USA they won't allow you to access the website. They only service within the USA and I think Canada as well.
Lastly, take a look at the back side of your SS board and more specifically the large capacitors on it. I just had that model come into the shop a few weeks ago with similar problem, and all those caps had cracked solder joints. To be honest, you should probably flip over your SC and power supply board as well and check all three for cracked solder joints just to be safe.

And when you have the back removed , also replace the screws!
