    No , black and red prope both on white prong connector. One way it will beep for 1 or 2 seconds. Other way around it won't beep.

    A shorted board will beep constant.

      It will beep for about 2 seconds. Then if you reverse the meter leads it will beep for 2 seconds. If it stops beeping both ways, thats a good start. Dont forget to reflow all the screw hole grounds!

        As Tvtimmy said , both side beep is not good. A good board will beep shortly on 1 side and no beep on the other side. ( black/red propes ).

          I take it you've tested for short across C842. If present at least one of the buffer chips will be shorted. This I believe also can cause the demise of the trio of SMD diodes D430, D432 and D433. In my case thats exactly what I found buffer chip IC4806 blown and that Grey stuff that Panasonic put around the buffer chips is awful to remove!

            Our old friend flocko knows a good method of easily removing the buffer silicon on panasonics

              I found a solution for the exploding diodes on a TNPA5330 AB board.

              Common failure is that after replacing the 6 FETS ( Q401/402/403/421/422/423 ) the diodes D433/432/430 will explode. The 2 small resistors ( 40K Ohm ) will give a high value or will read short.

              The reason is fake parts! I replaced all fets with FGD4536 and replaced the diodes + resistors from a scrap board but it still blew up.
              I found out that both DG302 were also short. One is located on Q441 ( Under heatsink and will read short on both legs ) and the other is Q451 which will read short on 1 leg. Well atlas in my case.

              I replaced all parts including IC502 + Q531 with original parts and the board is back alive. Watch out that there are fake DG302 / RF1501 / 30F131 and RJP30H2A on ebay!! If the logo is almost gone using nail polish remover then you might have fake part.....

              Hope it helps someone.

                Hi,anyone could help me to fix my tnpa5330 board .I have removed all the shorted Fets .
                I have shorted diode near the Buffer IC. See photo
                Is this would be normal ? I have measured out the board and are all Ok .

                  What Zener Diodes on a Linear Power Supply
                  by caspian
                  Dear members,

                  I have a linear variable power supply with unknown brand name that I used for voltage injection.
                  Then it failed. I discovered that its transistors (Q1 and Q2) are shorted.
                  In addition, I discovered that its zener diodes are defective.
                  I can replace the burned transistors.
                  But I do not know the model of the zener diodes. the model number is not marked on the zener diodes.
                  Therefore, I cannot replace the zener diodes.
                  I do not want to test the zener diodes in a test circuit to discover their model or value.
                  no schematics are available...

                  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 hereπŸ€”?
                  Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting πŸ˜‚.

                  Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                  by AquaMan Ua
                  Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                  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...

                  BN44-00505A dead. Need to know voltages on output diodes (Samsung T22B300EW)
                  by Fontana
                  1. gΒ΄day! I have a samsung 22" tv monitor to fix. power supply model bn44-00505A. some stuff blown up on the primary, according to research something typical on this model. secondary seems ok. writings on the board say in outputs a5v (standby), b5v (switched) both on the lower 3 diodes on the picture, vamp and b13v (12.8v, both are the linked at the connector that goes to the main board) my question is, are both the upper diodes for 13v? I believe so but wanted to make sure before injecting voltage there to test. I injected 5v on the lower side and standby circuit is working fine
