Re: Panasonic plasma TH-42PZ80U 2 blink 15v SOS

Great thanks Tom. Can I get a reference on where to buy the caps and what kind?

Re: Panasonic plasma TH-42PZ80U 2 blink 15v SOS



I have no experience with soldering but am a "handy" guy. I could probably do the job but have no tools so was trying to go the easy route.

Would I just need to replace the capacitors on both boards or do I need to replace the IC's also as shown in Norcal715 video on YouTube?

BTW...Thank you all for the help so far!...

Re: Panasonic plasma TH-42PZ80U 2 blink 15v SOS



Yes. That is the place. I understood when I bought the board that it was not actually coming from Panasonic but this was the only place that said the board was new. Now that I have done more research, I probably should have either sent my board to someone to fix or tried to do the repair myself....

Yes. I believe so.

Re: Panasonic plasma TH-42PZ80U 2 blink 15v SOS

Sorry..meant to say I froze the same IC chip/capacitor at the same location and the TV worked with the NEW board for approx. 30-40 min.

Re: Panasonic plasma TH-42PZ80U 2 blink 15v SOS

Yes...I froze the same board and TV came on and worked for about 30-40 min until it shut down again.

Brand new here with the same problem on my TH-C50FD18. Did not want to risk soldering parts so bought a new PS board from Panasonic Factory Outlet Store online. Swapped out the entire board and I still have the same 2 blink issue. Another bad board or something else causing the problem? I also do not know which location is MC201 vs. MC301? When testing the boards with refrigerant to cool, the one on the left seems to be the problem. Any help is appreciated as I just paid a pretty penny for a "new" board and didn't fix a thing....
