Panasonic Blinking Code:
One Time Blinking: 1 Blink Error
One blink of the power LED indicates a problem in the inverter circuit located on the LCD panel. The inverter board is not to be repaired in
the field. Therefore a replacement is required.
Three Time Blinking: 3 Blinks Error
Three blinks of the power LED indicates an over-current or over-voltage condition in one of the DC supplies of the AP board. The AP
board is repairable. Therefore the use of an ohmmeter and peak-hold voltmeter is required to determine the cause of the shutdown. An over voltage condition is definitely a defect of the AP board. An over-current condition may be due to a short circuit located in the AP board, A board, or the LCD panel.
Four or Six Time Blinking: 4 Blinks, 6 Blinks Error
The AP board is responsible for four or six blinks of the power LED. The DTV9V, and SUB_5V sources are produced on the AP board.
The MPU IC1100 monitors for their presence when the unit is connected to AC Power. A short or open circuit on the A board may also be responsible for their absence.
Five, Seven, or Eight Time Blinking: 5 Blinks, 7 Blinks, 8 Blinks Error
The A board is responsible for five, seven or eight blinks of the power LED. The MAIN +3.3V, MAIN +5V, and MAIN +9V
sources are all produced on the A board. The detection input pins of the MPU, IC1100, monitor for their presence.
Nine Time Blinking: 9 Blinks Error
Nine blinks of the power LED is due a short circuit in the audio output circuit (s) of the unit. The audio output circuit is located on the A
board. Confirm the status of the speakers. If defective, perform a replacement. If ok, replace the A board.
Ten Time Blinking: 10 Blinks Error
Ten blinks of the power LED indicates a malfunction of IC4200, the frame converter. This IC resides on the A board. Therefore ten blinks of
the power LED requires the replacement of the A board.
Panasonic Plasma Blinking Code:
All Panasonic Plasma TVs feature a protection circuit that will force the TV to shut down in case of a problem. The malfunctioning part can be identified by the numbers of blinks of the power light.
