Re: 4 Blinks Panasonic TC-P50G20 Help to target the problem.

I received the new board but there are a only two caps instead of 3. Should I add the third on the new board?

You shouldn't have to change the firmware, but you must get the exact SC board with matching numbers and the suffix(AF).

Thank you again for your help.
There a wait to avoid this board to died again ? How so much IGBT can blow at the same time🤦*♂️🤦*♂️🤦*♂️

It is DEFINITELY a bad sc board. Do some testing on the IBGTs and you will find some shorted ones. There are repair kits that have up to 100 or so components to change. If you miss anything, that board goes up in smoke again. Way too hard for me to attempt a repair on that sc board.

Ok I found a brand new one on aliexpress hope it will be ok. Everywhere else it's out of stock.

Yeah it's true. Do I have to change firmware. Some persons said we have to change firmware when you change SC Board?

I don't remove IGBT but when I test capacitor in parallel with IGBT it's around 0.1 ohms so it shorted.

My board finish by AF so I need TNPA5081AF board right ?

Here again if I follow the procedure for 7 blinks and because I don't have short and 3 volts on pin 9 of P7, procedure tell me to change the P-Board again... Don't know what to do.

This model is VERY difficult to repair.

Is it hard to repair the SC board or if it's normally a bunch of IGBT shorted ?

Upper and lower buffer boards.

Unplug the tv and wait 10 minutes. Unplug the connector going from the power supply to the SC board. Plug tv back in, turn on and see if you get 7 blinks. If you do, the SC board is bad. They are very hard to find. You must also check the upper and lower buffer boards.

Where is the lower and upper board ?

Re: 4 Blinks Panasonic TC-P50G20 Help to target the problem.

Do the test and see if the blink code changes. Only run it like that for 1 minute!

OK I do the test and the code change for 7 blinks... So you are sure if I change the SC board the T.V gonna work again. This board is expensive and hard to find.

I change lot of part like I said on the P board always the same 4 Blinks.

Should I do some short test on the SC board to be sure ?

Thank you for your help.

Re: 4 Blinks Panasonic TC-P50G20 Help to target the problem.

I suspect some component that handles P15V
So the D351 (VDFMEN210A)
Q355 (2SJ651)

Both are hard to find and both cost $35 & $43 from Panasonic.

Do you know where can I buy for a cheap price ?

Thanks

Re: 4 Blinks Panasonic TC-P50G20 Help to target the problem.

I'm not at home right now, but I did all the short circuit tests that were negative. I also did the test attached and it came to the conclusion that it was the Power Supply Board since I had 3 volts on the pin 9 of P7 connector l. If it helps to draw a conclusion. I also ordered a rebuild kit for the P Board from Shop Jimmy. Thank you for your help again! For Now I change the IC201(resonance control) & IC202(Comparator) both thing hard to test. So here I am right now.

So I disconnect P2 and SC20(tape cable)?

if I do that the voltage will go up to near 200 volts… Is not Dangerous to blown an other board ?
