    LED problem Panasonic TH55ds610

    Hi all I'm new here. An old tv tech from the tripler and crt days.
    Just got given a dead panasonic TH55ds610 so thought I would have a go. Symptoms, starts up, get a flash of a menu on the screen for a second
    does it again and then shuts down. when I connect a dvd player the sound also works for a second and also a flash of a picture before it shuts down.
    Took the back off and suprised how small the electronics are.
    Anyway to cut a long story short, found 3 mosfets (out of a set of eight)on the led driver board all s/c emitter to collector.
    So I am trying to source these components.Have checked as best I can for other shorts on the board, seems ok.Do you think replacing these will sort the problem?
    Also how come the heatsinks of these mosfets have warnings "Danger High voltage" when they seem to be connected to chassis ground? Appreciate any insight

      If you have a flash of backlights, then you likely have bad backlights. Bad backlights can damage power supplies on some models. Tough to find replacement strips for Panasonics though. https://techhometravel.com/lg-ln-ser...ed-backlights/

          Ground may be hot. For instance, the primary heatsink is connected to primary ground - which certainly isn't chassis ground, and it will bite you!

          Most TVs have the LED inverters sourced from the cold side, but I have seen some large sets where the LED strips are driven off the mains by a non-isolated supply. The labels are going to be there as a means of precaution anyway.

          A working TV? How boring!

              Thanks for that. Will have to watch out for it. Still waiting for the transistors to come from China. They are ( KT) A1040 . Anyone know of easier sourced replacements?

                  I believe this will fit the bill: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...84Q-13/4570525 and it appears to be in stock.

                      Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                      by AquaMan Ua
                      Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                      Panasonic TX-24A1UN CRT Sound and Input problem.
                      by hugocarmo
                      Hi.

                      I´ve been given an old CRT from Panasonic, it´s almost new, it was storaged and almost not used since bought.
                      It is imaculate inside, almost no dust or debris inside.
                      The picture is good, but I have no left sound channel, I tried all the inputs, outputs, even on headphone jack. In AV2 I hear sound from right channel but no image, on tv tuner only right sound channel, the same for AV1.
                      So I started to look for a service manual, I found one, and started from the beginning.
                      Most of the times the caps are the problem so I orderer all the caps for all boards,...

                      panasonic TH-42PC77U plasma television half screen problem
                      by renech
                      hello,
                      I hope someone on this forum can assist me.
                      I have a panasonic TH-42PC77U plasma television.
                      the lower 1/2 of the screen has become flaky....in and out, then finally goes black and you can only see the top portion.
                      i have performed the reset to default settings quite a few times. Panasonic recommended..did not believe this would help...it didn't.
                      I have removed the back panel and looked around for something obvious...burn marks in a board, etc....nothing obvious...
                      I have read some posts that suggest the problem is related to the boards on the left...

                      panasonic TX-P50V10E 6 blink led problem
                      by Vebririon
                      Hi everyone,

                      I'm new here and trying to repair my Panasonic TX-P50V10E plasma TV, which is currently showing the 6 red blink error code.

                      Just for context: I'm used to building PCs and installing modchips in old consoles, but this is my first time trying to fix a TV. I'm French, and while my English is okay, I'm using ChatGPT to help translate and clarify my messages as much as possible — so please forgive any odd phrasing.

                      I'm also not very experienced with using a multimeter, but I'm very motivated and ready to follow instructions carefully and report...

                      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...
