Introduction
<Introduction> 1. Basic concept of how to determine the defective board 1) Verification of voltages Normally, when there is a power problem, shutdown occurs immediately. So, to resolve a power problem, voltage checks are necessary before shutdown. 2) Check if the power comes up after disconnecting the board under suspicion. If power comes up (*) after disconnecting a board, the board is defective. (*) Power comes up equals no shutdown. 2. Troubleshooting Video and Audio problems 3. Examples of video problems 4. Adjustment after PCB exchange 1) After exchanging the following boards, voltage adjustment is required. P board, SC board, SS board => Please refer to the Service Manual.

SU/SD Board Isolation Procedure

Unlike previous models of Panasonic Plasma TVs, the 2008 models are designed not to turn-on if either of the SU and SD boards is disconnected. Disconnecting either causes the unit to shutdown and the power LED to blink 7 times. Procedure to isolate the SU/SD board
For SU board: Disconnect connectors SC41/SU41, SU11/SD11. For SD board: Disconnect connectors SC42/SD42, SC46/SD46, and SU11/SD11. Isolating the SU/SD board does not require the removal of its mounting screws. Place a jumper between VF Ground (labeled H.V. DANGER) on the SU board or SD board and coil L801 on the SC board, see figure 6 and 7. The jumper can be connected to the floating ground screws on the SU board, which are located above and below connector SU41, see figure 2. Caution: Before turning the unit on, confirm that the jumper is not connected to a chassis ground screw, as this will cause severe damage to the unit. Confirm proper connection by measuring continuity between floating ground and chassis ground. The resistance should be in the kilo-ohms range.

Self-check Procedure

Self-check Screen
How to Exit the self-check screen

Press and hold the Power button on the TV for 5 seconds or disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet.
TV volume down & OK on remote only does a basic IC self check. It does NOT Reset the TV. It does not clear channel programmed settings, picture settings, channel labels, LOCK mode settings, or password. Using this method, it shows the unit firmware version (Peaks 1.050 and GenX 1.00) and it checks IC communications ONLY. This is more useful to identify the firmware version without having to decode the info in the setup menu About/Version screen.
