God bless you for posting that guide. I had it before I lost a hard drive on another PC and have been searching hi and low trying to locate it again. Now I can get down to business with my TC-P42ST30 that is in parts on my dining room table. That guide is the missing link I needed to get this 2011 plasma working again.

Thank you so, so very much!

I am going to wish you good fortune with your 50s30 set. As for myself I am in the middle of troubleshooting and repairing the P, SS, and SN boards on my TC-P42ST30 set. It seems every time I think I am close I jump into another area and find diodes shorted and other things but I am going to wait until I have the first round of suspected bad SMD's replaced. What I am hoping I am seeing are a false reading due to components being in proximity or in circuit with known failed shorted components. I am posting because the two sets are similar and I want to follow this thread....

NO, NO, NO, this can not be allowed to happen but I suspect I agree with you and it will happen indeed. This is very similar to what I said right before vacuum Tubes went away....
