    Panasonic tc-p50s30 no power please advise!

    I have a p50s30 that will not do anything. You plug power in and get no sound of relay clicking, no lights, no picture. Can someone walk me through how to test this with a volt meter? Thanks!

    This is either a power supply or mainboard failure.

    Measure for 5V on the big connector going to the mainboard.

      Which pin(s) should I check? I can't seem to find any voltage at either end of the connector.

        Can you take clear pictures of the boards? I got this tv in parts , if i remember correctly there is one connector that goes to the mainboard called "P6". It must have 5v on one of the pins. Don't have the schematic.

        It's tricky. On the VT50/GT60 a dead tv is a bad mainboard , on this tv im not sure yet. Need a schematic.

          Here is a picture. It does have a connector p6 that goes to a6.

            While you wait for moreno have you tried disconnecting sc20 and sc2 cable and if power returns. The sc board commonly fails and goes short across sc2 pins which you could also check. Not sure if it can cause a no standby led it may

                This is from manual for GT30, but i think it should be the same pinout for your tv.

                  Yeah I think you'll need to get the manual and see what voltages are present . Could be power board or A board

                    Re: Panasonic tc-p50s30 no power please advise!

                    Thanks for the pictures. I got the same powersupply and mainboard but with a different SC board. The PS is also in the 42ST30 / G30 / S30 and U30.

                    I will measure the voltages on the powersupply alone and with the mainboard connected. Will be tonight though ....i am at work!
                    But ofcourse you need 5V on the P6 connector going to the mainboard.

                      Thanks so much! I was unable to get any voltage from the p6 connector. Would that indicate a bad ps or a board?
                      Thanks again for all the help!

                        Well if you don't have any voltage on that connector start checking PS, fuses first

                          Thanks. I checked the 5 fuses and have continuity across each one. I am not sure that I was checking the p6 connector correctly because I wasn't sure which pin should have voltage. I tried grounding one probe to a screw on the frame of the tv and the other probe to each pin, and I did not get power to any pin. Also, on the board there is a printed schematic beside the connector. It shows that several different places should have 15v... Is this A/C or D/C power? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

                              Its 5V / 15V DC.

                              There is a black line on the powersupply that cuts the board in half. One side is AC and the other side is DC. ( high current to low current ).

                              You sure there is no 5V on P6? You measuring via ground?

                                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          Hi all!

                                          I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                                          I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                                          Hi all,

                                          TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                                          I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                                          A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                                          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply

                                          I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                                          One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                                          Hi. I have a Panasonic TX-50EX700B which hadn't been used very often for some time. Recently it started getting used a little more often, until one day it just refused to power on with the red LED blinking 13 times. Upon researching, it turned out it apparently had something to do with the 5v power line, so I assumed it was probably the power supply.

                                          I purchased a power supply for the TV from a seller that claims that it works fine and was just taken from a TV with a broken screen. After fitting the new power supply and trying the TV, I was greeted with the power LED being red for...
