Panasonic TX-P55ST60 - dead

[dj01fad]

hello,

I have this TV that does nothing; no red blinking, no solid red, nothing.
P board is OK, so in this case it's the A board...
I have an A board from a 42ST60, and I was wondering if I should give it a shot. I have done some tests with A board from 55VT30 into a 42GT30, and it produced an image... an incorrect one.
my question is that if is there a chance to damage someting...

If it's the same board number and I presume it would be being both ST60 then I'd try it.

Photos are always nice for us to see what's going on here

I'll try to take some photos tomorrow and share them.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting to receive the 42st60 maiboard...

hello there

after a long time I managed to start the TV. It works perfect, the screen is like new, but I have an UK mainboard and no digital tuner on it. I did not receive the 42st60 board, don't know realy why; the boards are identical (st60E and st60B), or I see them identical. now... is there a chance fot the UK board to have the DVB-C integrated and only to activate it? it's not nice to have a second remote from the receiver.

Re: Panasonic TX-P55ST60 - dead

this service manual is better than the one I have, but I cannot find anything about the dvb-c tuner...
as for the options in the service mode... opt 1,2,3,4... I don't know if they are related to what I need and I also don't know what other values to set there.
Thanks anyway...

No , it has to do with the suffix sticker. Its the white sticker on the mainboard usually starts with TXN/ ....

The board you have is designed for the UK and probably has a FreeSat tuner or something simmilar.
If you want the tuner for the rest of europe then you need to buy a new mainboard and look for the white suffix sticker on the original board.

The only board I found (from a 55stw60) is somewhere in Bosnia and I'll try to get it. A new board... it's about 300 euros at panasonic Hungary and it comes only as replacement for the original defective board... wich must be in perfect optical condition with no intervention; and this is not my case (the TV was struck by lightning and the original mainboard has the lan filter and some IC exploded)

funny thing: my old 55GT30 has a better image than this 55ST60. the only thing that is a little better on the 60 series it the black level when showing real black objects but still, the details are better on the GT30 on dark scenes! maybe this is possible because the UK mainboard does not have the colour calibration...
