Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U SC board repair 7 blinks

radar2000 = did you ever find a f/w update?
the one I have is 2.09
I thought I had 2.12 but it showed as 2.09 when I went to upgrade it'

My bd problem is intermittent. Right now it appears permanent. Previously, I would unplug the tv for a few minutes, then reconnect and it would come on till the next time I shut it off, maybe, maybe not. There are no shorts on any FET groups. I guess it is possible a FET is breaking down under power, but I expect that it would have become permanent by now. With SC20...

Re: Panasonic TH-42PZ77U No Pwr, Blinking 7 Times

I have a problem child. It died with 7 blinks. I replaced all the mosfets in the long row - only 1 was shorted.
It ran for several months of very intermittent use then died again, same 7 blinks. This time i just replaced one shorted fet.
It ran for a few hours and died again. THIS TIME however, it keeps coming back to life and I can find no shorts.
I unplug, wait, replug and it is working sometimes or not. The last time I disconnected the power plug from the SC bd, I get the blinks, I reconnected it with a few sparks...
