Re: Panasonic tc-p55vt30 - 7 blinks. Now what?

Thanks Shinju. How long did it take for you to get your board back? So there's no way to test the SD and SU boards myself? Also, I've seen SC board repair kits for sale. Is it really difficult to repair the SC board? I'd rather do it myself so that I can save some money and get it fixed faster, but if it's too difficult then I'll go your route.

Re: Panasonic tc-p55vt30 - 7 blinks. Now what?

Ok I finally got a chance to disconnect the three connectors between the SC board and the SU/SD boards. I also jumpered SC50. When I plugged the tv back in and hit the power button, the same exact thing happened - a solid red light for 2 or 3 seconds and then 7 blinking red lights over and over. What does this tell us? Should I do some further testing? Thank you everyone for your help.

Re: Panasonic tc-p55vt30 - 7 blinks. Now what?

Thank you for the fast response Shinju. I did read your thread before and I saw that you jumped the SC50 pin to determine your sc board was bad. I don't have the SC jig tool. Is there another way to jumper that SC50 pin? I pulled a jumper off of a computer motherboard, but it doesn't fit.

Hello all. I realize there have been posts about this issue already, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

My Panasonic 55' plasma tv shut off the other night and now it won't turn on. Instead the red light blinks seven times over and over. I understand that this is most likely a bad sc board, but I want to be certain before I order a new one. I also want to know if the other two boards are bad, so I know whether to order those as well. That's why I started this thread. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I took the back cover off and inspected the three...

Hello everyone. My name is Brad. I'm a systems administrator. I currently live in Colorado, but I'm originally from Ohio. I'm a die-hard Buckeye's fan and I'm a little bummed right now because my tv died Friday night just as I was about to watch my Buckeyes play. I'm going to start a thread about that though. I have three wonderful children who are my pride and joy!
