    3 red blink in panasonic 65vt60

    Hi to all the*members of this great forum I am a new member here.

    I want your help please:

    Yesterday I heard a loud pop and my plasma screen went black and the TV red light blinked*3 times repeatedly .

    I opened the tv and saw a bed diode that exploded in the SC board and some of the transistors*malfunctioned .

    The SC board number is*TXNSC1UCUUTH*.

    I also see 2 boards connected*to the SC board (SU board*+ SD board)I can not see any visual sign of a malfunctioning but maybe there is a problem on them too.

    I would be very happy*if someone how*familiar*with this problem in the plasma*65vt60 panasonic can tell me:

    What are the odds that they broke down too?
    When i replace the sc board Do I need to also replace these 2 boards ?

    Thank you very much!

    To test the buffer boards, put your meter in continuity mode. Your meter should beep when you touch the leads together. Place the black one on the screw hole circled in red, and drag the red lead across the ribbon connectors (red lines above them) and listen for a beep. Beep means there is a short, and it's bad.

      Can I do this test when the buffer is inside the tv or must disconnect them from tv?

      Also I need to disconnect the ribbon cable from the connector in order to drag the red lead on the connector?

      Thank you

          You can test the buffers in the set with the ribbons connected. Take out the screws and the white connectors going to the sc board.

                I check the buffers they are ok.

                The sc board is dameged i saw there fry diode.

                I tried disconnect*the ribbon cable and the dc cable from the sc board hoping the tv respond*but nothing happened*still 3 red light.

                after I also disconnect*the ss board ribon cable and dc cable but still 3 red light.

                i even disconect all the 4 ribbon cable from the main board ans also the dc cable from SS and SC board but nothing heppend the tv still blink 3 times red.

                only when i disconect the main board from the power supllay the red light off but also all the tv.

                what can cuse this problem the main board defective?

                the power supplay feed the main board becuse the red light is flashing or it could be the power supplay also bed?

                Thank you very much!

                  3 blinks points to the mainboard. Very hard to repair it.

                    Re: 3 red blink in panasonic 65vt60

                    I put the tv in scroll bar mode because*the tv is connected*to a pc and i wanted to prevent* burning on the screen.

                    all the 6.5 years the tv was connected*to pc for home theater*and i*occasionally use the white scroll*bar.

                    Before 3 days i open the tv and put 20 min of scroll*bar and suddenly i heard loud pop and the red light blink 3 times, now it is a summer time and the ambient temp is a little high in the house maybe the tv run a little hot but all the funs before the problem work wall as they do everyday.

                    What can cause*this problem with the main board? I really*want to know if I could prevent this from happening ?

                    The sc board was also damaged. I saw a diode burn and i thought*the 3 red lights were just the*sc board?

                    My power supply*board works ok if the red light blinks or there is a chance that it is also bad?

                    Thank you very*much.

                      still the red light blink 3 times


                      could it be power supplay board or main board?

                        You will have to check the voltages on the power supply, very carefully. Download a service manual to help you test things.

                          I manegd to open the tv.

                          I accidentally forgot when troubleshooting to connect one little wire from the sub power to the large power supply.

                          I disconnected each board from ribbon cable and the sc gave me 8 blink and the ss gave me 6 blink.

                          When SS and SC board disconnected the tv turn on with click and then the green light blink and then green light fix.

                          This panasonic model TH-65VT60M.

                          I think SS and SC failure but I disconnected them and I thought that the 2 funs will also spin but only green light and click.

                          Why the fun not spin can it be another problem besides the 2 boards?

                          When all the boards is on the tv include the fulty SS and SC with all the cables and ribbons connected the tv has no click sound and the red light blink 3 times?

                          Thank you very much for your help!

                            Probe the SS board like you did with the SC, if no immediate shorts are found it's maybe functioning, since there's green light with the power supply + motherboard combo, both of them are good, do you have VSUS? The fans only spin after the motherboard commands them, after full startup.

                              HI.

                              I have diagnose and troubleshooting the tv:

                              There's a short in the SC20 Power Connector of SC board and a burn diode
                              I disconnected this Connector and the 3 red blink became 7 blink
                              After I also disconnected the ribbon cable from the SC board it blink 7 red code.

                              I disconnect the ribbon cable of the SS board and the TV suddenly starts to click and the green light blinks and stay on, the 2 fans and also spins for 5 seconds.

                              I then also disconnected the ribbon cable of C2 board data driver (lower center)
                              And the tv started to click the green light blink and the tv on continuously and 2 fans on continuously this the best I achieve.

                              So when the shorted SC20 power connector On the SC board disconnected
                              Ribbon cable of SS board disconnected
                              The tv green light on and fans spin 5 seconeds

                              If also disconnect C2 board data driver (lower center)
                              The tv green light on and also 2 fans spinning continuously.

                              What boards do you think can do this?

                              Thank you very much!

                                The SC board give me 7 blink


                                If i disconect SS and SC ribbon and SC20 power cable the tv click and green light on and fans spin for 5 second

                                If also discoinect ribbon from C2 board data driver (lower center)
                                tv click and green light on and fans spin continuously.

                                Thank you very much!

                                  I don't know if this TV is capable of turning on with only SS board connected and SC isolated. Like I said, probe the SS board. Is there a TPVE, a test point for VE voltage on it? SS board generates that voltage and it is listed on the panel sticker or service manual how much it should be.

                                  The TV fully powers on once SS and SC are completely disconnected, so I say if you have VSUS the power supply + motherboard are OK.

                                    I attach photo of*my ss board i dont know where*to find the*TPVE*or if there is one

                                    I managed*to find diode that failed in the*continuity check*of my multimeter i measure it between the 2 legs and the multimeter*beef and i saw zero on the screen

                                    I also check the power connector*of the ss board SS11 and no short*
                                    Does it mean that I also need to replace the ss board because*of the diode?

                                    Thank you very much!

                                      my mistake a frienf told me to mesure again the diode is ok, it is somthing alse that when i conect the ss board ribbon cable to the main i get 7 red blink

                                      the tv turn on with fan if i disconect ribbon cable from ss and sc and from the C2 board data driver (lower center)

                                      if this 3 ribbon cable disconected the tv on with click sound and the green light blink a few seconds and then the green lifht stay on, also the 2 fan spining.
                                      no screen.

                                      what board can cause this problem?

                                      thank you.

                                        The diode has those two pins shorted by design itself, it's how they work, the big tab (case) is the kathode, the two pins are anodes, goes for any diodes on this TV with 3 pins/pads, so two of those contacts are always going to be "shorted", it just cannot be shorted from anode>kathode or vice-versa, that indicates a problem, IGBTs are much more likely to short than diodes when an SS or SC board failures occour.
                                        Oops I wrote this before your latest reply acknowledging a misread on the diode.

                                        You need a replacement SC board for sure, the SS board's IGBTs need to be tested for short-circuits too.

                                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                                          Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                                          Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock

                                          I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                                          This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

                                          Panasonic TC-P54VT25 No image. A or D board?
                                          by canadaboy25
                                          I have a Panasonic TC-P54VT25 that will power on and prime the display but there is no image at all.

                                          The panel is primed as there is a slight glow from the entire panel. This means the problem should be logic related. The service manual also confirms this and recommends replacing the A or the D board.

                                          I have tried to get the TV to display the test sequence but I have been unable to and I don't even know if this TV has a test sequence or not. I tried following tom66's instructions in post #3 on this thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26790. There was...
