The patience of Job...
My son brought me a Panasonic TC-P42C2 to look at for him...I'm not sure if he loves me or not..
So I've tried to revive an old thread that was dealing with the same problem...Last edited by DaveL; 01-25-2015, 06:27 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P42C2 Clicks 10 Times Help!
I'm following this thread now..my son brought me his TC-P42C2 to look at...if he wasn't my kid I would have strangled him!lol!
It's doing the same thing as this one..wont power up and gives 10 blinks...
I've checked the power board..can't find 15 volts on it any where...got a hit for 4.7 volts at stby5v and 3.1 at ECO-ON and nothing from the bottom connector with 15Vs...
I checked the transistors on the SS board and 7 of the 8 are shorted...
Thats as far as I've gotten on it..

Tom,
Sorry for the lengthy pause, I had to go to the hospital and stay for a while..heart trying to act stupid on me..
Turns out you were right about the IPM..I checked it again and got an audible...upon inspecting the IPM I found a couple of cracks in the base of it and if you put any pressure at all on it I got the audible..
So, I used it to practice desoldering on it...got fairly well with it and went ahead and removed the IPM from the "new" board and cleaned it up real good and will order an IPM...Leave a comment:

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
Probably brought on by my mutilation of the board!
Well, I'm going to put the module back on its original board...now that I have the means of doing it without harming anything in the process...
Since I know this "new" board already has a bad IPM I might as well "play" and get some practice in on soldering techniques and swap the IPM from this one to the "new" one and see if anything changes...
I checked Vs and GND on the power connector on the board...I don't get any audible...unless...Leave a comment:

Can't get a reading...
It shuts off so quickly I can't get the probes on it to read it...
I've taken the board back out of the set...powered it up and my sound came back.Leave a comment:

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
LOL!
I really can't say anything..I did mutilate the board up pretty badly!
I'm probably the cause of the problem now.Leave a comment:

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
Oh...I tried powering up the tv and it shuts itself off in just a few seconds and the red light on the power board comes on so I probably wont get a reading on on anythingLeave a comment:

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
Ok Tom..
I completed the task of swapping the module..
I used the hot air technique to remove the module without damaging it at all..
I cleaned everything really well and installed the module on the original board as well as possible..remember, I did hack the original board and module up pretty good..(Before I read and researched the hot air technique)
After installing the board and double checking all connections I turned the tv on and got picture and sound..with just the lightest hint of those sparkles (green this...Leave a comment:

Should I swap the IPM module from the original board and use it on this new board?Leave a comment:

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
I'm finding them "horrid" myself!
I found another board..exact same board...
I have sound and no picture with the "new" board"...(gave 20.00 for it...figured I could scavenge the Vy module if nothing else)
This board has a blown fuse (closest to the capacitors)..If that means anything.
I hooked this board up to make sure it had sound and no picture...
Besides the blown fuse this board looks to be in better shape than the original board.Leave a comment:

Ahhh..but something is wrong.
After about 5 minutes the tv shut off and the red light on the power board has come on..Last edited by DaveL; 12-12-2014, 02:22 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Insignia ns-42pdp (lg pdp42x30000)
I'm an idiot at times...
I didn't plug the small ribbon connector at the lower right corner in...
I have a picture..still the same...little specs of red and green if you get up close and look and the screen still "flickers" very faintly...Leave a comment:
