    Panasonic 42" Plasma #42PZ80U Doesn't see input

    Hello and thanks for reading my post.

    I have an older Panasonic 42" Plasma TV #42PZ80U that was damaged by an electrical storm. This forum helped me fix this TV about 4 years ago see this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=39144 . I replaced the A-board and fixed it. This time I have a different problem in that the TV doesn't see any input. I can use the TV's menu and change the input selection so I think the video system itself is OK but nothing I plug into the A-board shows up on the screen. I'm thinking it's the A-board again but was hoping for some advice and /or troubleshooting tips.

    Thanks again
    Tim

    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,...
