    Panasonic TC-P50U50 Plasma Not Powering Up

    I'm working on this Panasonic Plasma and it's got me stumped. It seems to be exhibiting no signs of life. Pressing the power key yields no response - no clicks, no lights, no sounds of any kind. Measuring at the main connector from the power supply, all I have is 4.4v on the 5v standby line. Everywhere else is dead. Any tips for where to go from here?

      disconnect the little ribbon cable from mainboard to ss board,does 5 volt recover?
      If not,disconnect mainboard from power supply,does 5 volt recover?

          Still just 4.4!

          Negatory. STBY5V holds steady at 4.4 either way.

              4.4V is "normal". What meter are you using? My fluke meter sometimes measures 4.48v.

              If you only got 5v on the power supply going to the mainboard and nothing happens then your mainboard is dead. Replace it and the tv will turn on. ( Unless other boards have failed. )

              Any history on the tv? Powersurge?

                  These models are notorious for loose screws on the ss board,causing them to blow a fet.
                  It will be the top screw that causes it,take it out and see if you see signs of spark marks on the pcb where that screw sits.
                  The fet that blows is the top component on the highest heat sink(closest to the top),Q051 if I remember correctly,it will short circuit between all 3 legs,maybe check that?

                      Yes Martino but that wont result in a completely dead tv. It would give a blink code.

                          fixed!

                          Good call. Mainboard was indeed the culprit.

                              Panasonic plasma TX-P42ST50 - 6 blinks
                              by jm1234
                              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...

                              Panasonic ZT60 plasma tv with strange behavior and 8 blink code
                              by cloo
                              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...

                              Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
                              by Alicat
                              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,...

                              Panasonic P42S30 Plasma - Pink sparkles
                              by Lintesir
                              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,...

                              Dead Panasonic Viera TX-P65STW50 Plasma TV
                              by badcappo
                              Hello, got a ST50 plasma TV for repair. No signs of life, not even blink codes. Opened it up to check the power supply, type MPF6914. Apparent issues from visual detection and measuring for shorts:
                              Diode type G972s6 - D101 with a short
                              Mosfet 06N90E - Q301 shorted
                              Fuse T5AH 250V - F103 blown
                              Diode D301 shorted
                              Relay DG1U-17VDC II - RL001 blown

                              I have not found a circuit diagram. Maybe someone here already dealt with a similar issue? Thanks for tips where else to check 😀...
