Issue: Panasonic TH-50PZ80U works fine but has no HDMI output.
Easy solution: replace main board.
Advanced solution: replace HDMI chip on main board.
Unless you've got the time, tools and the hands of a surgeon, skip the advanced solution. For you beginners out there reading this, you would need to use a combination of a heat gun, flux, solder, and probably a microscope to succeed. If there is someplace you can send the board in for repair, you can go for that. From what I've read elsewhere, I don't think this TV will even do 720p.
If none of that stops you, take some time to watch Youtube videos on how to remove chips, whether they be 8 pin EEPROMS or something more advanced like this chip. Take my advice, though. Using heat on a circuit board is like a bank robbery: get in, do the job, and get out. Don't let that heat linger on the board any longer than is has to.
