Replacing a Panasonic TNPA5081

[Cayuga]

Hi,

It looks like I have a bad SC board from a 50" set. In reading the other posts, I didn't see any discussion of whether other Panasonic SC boards are acceptable substitutes for the TNPA5081. Are they? If so, what do I need to be concerned about?

Thanks!

By substitution do you mean revision or completely different Board number? For the 50" models fitted with the TNPA5081 there's 3 revisions for the 2D models & 2 for the 3D.

A TNPA5105 appears to be a cut down version of the TNPA5081, uses the same buffer boards minus heatsinks but will it mount on the panel?, will the cabling reach? and how would it go being driven by an A board with different firmware plus the panel model will be different .

not something I'd try, there little to gain as both will be just as hard and as expensive to source i would expect.

Thanks. I was wondering about a completely different board number (a lot of them look similar). It's probably better to play it safe and stick with a TNPA5081.

What is a reasonable price for the TNPA5081?
