Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
I sold my BG board on eBay for $90. At least I got some of my original expense back. And like you said learned a good lesson. Thanks for the help.

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
Not that anyone seems to care anymore, but I received a TNPA5335BA board from PTS and installed it. TV works now. I think "utee" had the same problem I did, wrong board (BG Vs. BA).

I also ordered a TNPA5335BA repair kit from Shop Jimmy for $25, but I think I need a better soldering iron.

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
Guess what, FEDEX estimate to ship the board back to Hong Kong is $130!! (DHL charged $35 from HK to CA.) Guess I'll buy that BA board from PTS for $95 after all. Anyone need a TNPA5335BG board?

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
Present status: The seller agreed to take my BG board back and send me a BA. I need to pay round trip shipping (to Hong Kong!) but I think that is a lower cost versus returning the BG board for a refund (plus shipping to Hong Kong) and buying a new board somewhere else.In the mean time I may buy a repair kit for my original BA board that I've cut some caps off of.

Cliff: To answer your previous question, yes, I intend to keep the TV. I saw the $175 for every board at PTS but I'm not sure I need that (yet).

Actually it was Shop Jimmy that was out of stock.

Does anyone not recommend the 5335 repair kit from PTS?

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
I think I will attempt to repair the old board. More questions on that later. I will also try to return the BG board. The shipping was about $25 so I could get a big chunk back if they take it, even if there is a "restocking" fee. It had a 90 day warranty so if they can verify it's still good it seems they would have to take it back.

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
Dumb question: if I jumper the S50 connector will the board revert to a BA?

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
Any advice on PTS parts? They also do repairs.

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
Okay I see the extra parts. Thanks for that. I guess my next step is to return my BG board and get a BA board or parts for my old board. I tried shop jimmy but they are out of BA boards. A place called PTS might have one for $95.

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
Here is a picture of the old (BA) and new (BG) boards. The old one has the caps removed and a slightly bunged up connector. I do not see a difference in the parts layout....

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
I will get pix of the old and new boards later today. There were 4 large aluminum caps (which I still have) but I also cut out a mylar one and an SMT one which I don't think I saved.

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
Hi tw2005. Where are you getting the part number suffix info on the 5335 board? Based on your input, I am going to try to return the BG board and see if the guy has a BA version. I still do have the old board but will have to see if I still have the caps I cut off. And get a repair kit.

Hey, utee, you still reading this? I don't think the A board is the problem but who knows.

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
The service manual is not very clear on which 5335 suffix is the right one or if it even matters. I wonder if anyone has an "BA" version or what the difference might be. Supposedly I have a 90 day warranty on the board I bought but I would be surprised if anyone would take it back, unless they had a way to test it. I appreciate the help.

Re: Panasonic TGP55VT30 with 8 blinks
I still bave the original SC board but I cut off a bunch of caps thinking they were the cause of the short. Since then I've learned that the igbts or fets are usually shorted. Crap.
