Re: Panasonic 50VT30 , Blinking 7 times.

I sent my A Board off to have it repaired. Couldn't find a replacement. Everyone seems to to be out of stock. Will advise if that fixes the problem.

Re: Panasonic 50VT30 , Blinking 7 times.

Regarding my previous post: I neglected to mention that I discovered that two of the mounting screws for the A board were missing. Apparently they were omitted when the "new" A board was installed by the repair technician.

Re: Panasonic 50VT30 , Blinking 7 times.

Moreno83 and Caleb While acting on your suggestion to check all cable connections I discover a dark smudge on the A Board on my Panasonic P65ST50 (see attached photo). Could this be the culprit for the 7 blinking lights? As previously stated the TV will run several minutes before shutting down and displaying the 7 blinking lights. I have already replaced the SC, SD, SU and power supply boards. The A board was supposedly replaced when I took the TV in for repair after the lightning strike. It worked fine for about 3 months before shutting...

Re: Panasonic 50VT30 , Blinking 7 times.

I'm going to remove the back this afternoon. I've already replaced one SC board (and a SD from Shop Jimmy and a SU board from Ebay (less expensive but arrived fairly casually wrapped). I tightened all the screws since I have read about some of the problems loose screws can cause. It was after this and connecting the set to my DVD that I got it to run for about 2 hrs before turning it off. I wonder if I should send off for another SC, SD and SU board or would I just be spinning my wheels. You indicated in response to my previous post that...

Re: Panasonic 50VT30 , Blinking 7 times.

Thanks for your input. Here's the latest on my continuing ordeal. I turned on my TV yesterday and it stayed on for about 10 minutes. This time when it shut down there were no LED flashes at all. When I turned it back on it stayed on for about twenty minutes before shutting down. After I unplugged it I wiggled several of the wires to include the TC-PT65ST50 power supply board to main board cable. I then hooked up my DVR to the TV and was able to play content for several hours. Thinking I had solved the problem (silly me) I put the back on...

Re: Panasonic 50VT30 , Blinking 7 times.

I have a Panasonic Plasma TV P65ST50 that was damaged by a lightening strike. The repair consisted of replacement of the board with the HDMI inputs. It worked fine for about 3 months when it began displaying "the 7 blinks of death". When I turned it off it would work fine for about 10 minutes before the screen would go dark and the LED would blink 7 times. After reading up on possible resolutions on the AVS forum, I replaced the SD, the SU and the SC boards purchased from Shop Jimmy with no success. I then replaced the power supply...
