Re: Panasonic TX-P42S30B - 6 blinks

Just a quick update.
Couldn't get anyone who inspred confidence to just repair the board but managed to find an old fashioned TV engineer relativly locally who was happy to listen to the fault diagnosis identified on this forum. He confirmed the fault and replaced the IBGT and 2 SMDs suggested here.
All good and working again now with a fine picture.
Cost me £117 total with 3 month gaurantee so quite happy with that.

Many thanlks to all contributors past and present.

Thanks for that.

Re: Panasonic TX-P42S30B - 6 blinks



Good evening again,
Found C842 after 1/2 hour of searching.
How do I test this?
The most obvious place (to me) is the contact at about 3 oclock on the 'C842 bottom' image as attached. I get about 145K ohms between that and ground/chasis.

I did have a look at the Shop Jimmy video but this exact model is not listed.....

On going help appreciated.

Re: Panasonic TX-P42S30B - 6 blinks

Many thanks for the replies. Shipping from anywhere other than the UK is prohibitive and to be honest I can buy another used 42" TV for about the £50 but thats not the point, its about avoiding waste and land fill and maximising utilisation.
Will have a go at the C842 test and let you know.
I did talk to a couple of reasonably local TV repairers withiout any joy most want £50 just to look at it and dissmiss the fault diagnosis that I've come to with the valid help of his forum.

The Tronic bay link is very interesting,...

Re: Panasonic TX-P42S30B - 6 blinks

Good morning,
Many thanks for replying and the useful links. The one is Caerphilly is not too far away however no distant cousin , theres a few of us here in Wales.
I will give them a call later.
As mentioned in my ealier post I dont think I have the dexterity to make the repair/replacement myself but probably OK to remove the board and send off.
I came across this service yesterday:

Re: Panasonic TX-P42S30B - 6 blinks

Good Evening forum,
First post here as a DIY fixer and someone who hates throwing things out. Im a generally a mechanical person with some electrical understanding but always keen to learn.

I have a problem with our Panasonic TX-P42S30B - 6 blinks (green) and I found this forum and corresponding thread.
The TV has been excellent in 11 years of ownership and has a first class picture however it now fails to switch on with the characteristics described at the start of this thread (clicking relay followed by 6 green led blinks)....
