So I just recently received a broken Panasonic TC-P50UT50.
TV turns on fine (I receive a status light when on, and status light turns off when i manually shut it down) with remote as well a physical buttons. I also get sound from the HDMI input.
The issue I am having is I get no picture. No glow, nothing.
I normally would say a bad SC board or a bad buffer board, but I normally have blinks to go on. This has no blinks.
Per Tom66's post,
So I am leaning on the SC board being my culprit at I get a OL reading in Ohms on the fuses I tested on the SC board. Does anyone have a second opinion? I guess I'm concerned about the no blinks, and I'm worried I'll need to replace the SU and SD buffers as well, and I don't want to fry a good SC board.

Per Tom66's post,
If you have sound: This is often a Y-sustain fault. There is usually at least one fuse on the Y-sustain. First, unplug the TV and give it 5 minutes to discharge the capacitors. Then, set your DMM to the 200 ohm range. Touch the red and black together. Note the reading, it should be around 0-2 ohms. Now, touch one probe on one end of the fuse, and the other probe on the other end. If your DMM reads "1" on the left hand side, or "OL", the fuse is blown. If you get the same value as when you touched the probes together, the fuse is not blown.
You should replace the fuse. Should that then blow again, you need to repair or replace the Y-sustain. Diagnosing a particular fault is tricky and requires considerable experience. Unless the Y-sustain is very expensive, or difficult to repair, I would advise a simple swap of the board.
