Re: Panasonic TC-P55GT30 7 blinks - ebay SC repair?

Good news, SC board came in yesterday, installed it, TV works perfectly now.

No image distortion, no buzzing, and obviously it also actually turns on.

This was the eBay auction I bought: [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Panasonic-TCP55ST30-SC-BOARD-REPAIR-SERVICE-7BLINKS-TNPA5335-/171178848646?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:3160[/url]

Here's the seller for when that page disappears: [url]http://myworld.ebay.com/yalucinc2012?_trksid=p2047675.l2559[/url]

Thanks everyone for the help and for...

No, but it should be arriving on Friday. I'll probably get to it this weekend sometime

I guess what I'm saying is that image is a tiny thumbnail for me - I can't click to expand it to the full size. Was hoping you had the full size version of the pic as well.

Gated, that image isn't showing up very well for me. Could you please re-upload? Would like to test before plugging in the fixed SC board when it arrives.

I've done the "zipper" test and received no beeps, so I'm hopeful SD/SU are ok, but I can't quite make out what you're suggesting.

Thanks!

Yeah, sucks for me too, I bought in March 2012. Probably the last Panasonic TV I buy.

Re: Panasonic TC-P55GT30 7 blinks - ebay SC repair?

Everything I've done seems to indicate I also have an SC failure (7 blinks, had distorted picture as seen in the luminescence error on slide 99 of the 2011 guide, confirmed no shorts on the 1080 SC/SU connectors.)

I can confirm that my board also measures continuity on the two SC2 prongs, which this thread indicates is an SC failure.

Unfortunately... nobody seems to have these SC boards in stock, and from the other thread, [url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=25029[/url], it seems like they...

Re: 55 inch Plasma Viera (VIERA TC-P55GT30) not turning on. 7 blinking red lights.



I also had image problems. It would distort (colors and pixels) very badly, sometimes the entire image was corrupted.

Some tapping on the back of the TV (near the SC board) would temporarily resolve the problem. It got worse and worse until last night, it finally died and now I also have the 7 blinks. I have the TV disassembled and will follow the diagnostic steps in this thread tonight and get back to you with which board I suspect is defective....
