In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

PANASONIC TH-50PZ85U [POWER SUPPLY FAULT-REPAIR HINTS]

PANASONIC TH-50PZ85U [POWER SUPPLY FAULT-REPAIR HINTS]


FAULT

SET TURNS ON; BUT SHUTS DOWN WITHIN 4 SECONDS, AND STANDBY LIGHT BLINKS 10 TIMES.  


10 Blinks of Standby light to Panasonic Plasma indicates the power supply section circuit should be looked into.


      This set is fitted with a power supply board [ETX2MM704MG]  It is a common fault to these model power supplies, that, there will be missing voltages from it.  Even though a new baord can poise this problem.  Even though it will work perfectly, it will begin to show this problem again within a short period of time, say weeks or months.  If you are handy in electronc equipments' repair, it will be best to replace this board with [ETX2MM705NG] model poser board.  It is a different board, but connectors are exactly same to each other, and [706NG] is more powerful too. The board has same voltages, same connector confujuration and signal paths.  There is no need to adjust anything, and the board is cheaper than [704MG].


     704MG main power board and small stand by power supply removed and  706NG should be installed.  You must have sound knowledge in electronics, and must have enough experience in work with power supply boards.  Must have patience and concentration.
The former said power supply board is bigger in size.  So there is a need to modify coupling holders to to fix the board in place.  See the pictures of both boards.


ETX2MM704MG
ETX2MM706NG
     It can be seated well by making holes, and fix one extra holder to aluminium casing of plasma panel. It fits perfect; and all the connectors are the same.  Some wires need to increase in length, as they might be short enough to reach the connecting sockets.

An other fault that can occur to these models Plasma TVs are:


     TV will work well on HDMI input, while no other inputs or front panel buttons will work. This fault is due to missing software on its internal flash memory.  Bad tuner board can cause this problem
