    Need help with Panasonic TX-P42U30B - does not turn up

    Hi All,

    The red light on my TV comes on when the TV is plugged in, but if I press Power button on the remote, the red light blinks and nothing happens.
    I opened the TV and could not see any odd-shaped capacitors on the central board connected to the power socket.

    How can I start troubleshooting it?
    I have a digital multimeter, a soldering iron and some patience

    Any help is really appreciated.

    Count the number of blinks.

      do they really blink?

      It seems like it blinks fast once or twice max on each press on the remote's button.

        Turn off, or unplug the tv. Turn it back on with the power button on the set and then count blinks. Dont use the remote untill the blinks are counted and repeted.

          Since this is a European set, the TV will blink the red light N times indicating a fault, but it sounds like the original poster can't even get their TV to that state. When they press the power button the light just blinks and it stops when they release the button. Please confirm my assumption AhmadK.

            i copied from another thread not sure what your model number is so try at your own risk if want too
            Now for future reference and addional information for others who have the solid Red Light fault, not the blinking light fault of any colour.

            My cure wasn't the "P" board or "A" board it was this instruction given by a Panasonic repair engineer, so this is the instruction for a reset:-

            Power cord plugged in but tv power on the side set to off.
            Press and hold the β€œF” function button and "(volume - )" button on the side of the tv at the same time, keep pressing.
            Then press and hold the power button on the side of the tv
            Hold all 3 for 10secs.
            My tv powered on and started working and the red light changed to green.

              Re: Need help with Panasonic TX-P42U30B - does not turn up

              Guys, thanks for the ideas and sorry for not answering earlier.
              My TV is a european model, and it has no power buttons on it (apart from on/off switch on the right side).
              I don't know what it was, but after reading a manual and noticing that they recommend to hold remote's power button for at least 1 second (I just pressed and released it previously), I gave it a try and.. it switched on!
              Watched it for a couple of minutes and could not see any issues. That's something..

              Anyway, thanks for your help and now I know where to go if something happens with my technology

                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˜‚.

                Panasonic P58V11B 8 and 12 blinks error "fix"
                by Biruslapio
                Bought this TV used not working, panel flashed briefly on power up and it was blinking 8 times, a quick look on SS board revealed a common fault on the 3uF 250V capacitors, C201 to C205 (C1620X in the service manual), the solder joints were all cracked, C201 and C205 pins were darkened and some sparking had occurred on them, C201 was split open and clearly overheated in its last hours, replaced that one and resoldered the others, 8 blinks fixed.

                Also the previous owner broke the antenna connector by taking the TV out of the wall mount forgetting to unplug it, I desoldered the tuner...

                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...

Conncted power supply and tuned on my laptop, the lcd turn on, it started to load os, then it turn off, after a second it turn on, then after like 3 seconds turn off again, and so on. Removed power supply, waited...

                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,...
