I'm looking for advice. I have a Panasonic 2012 model TC-P55VT50 that has worked wonderfully for the past 3 years. Today while my son was playing Zelda 4-Sword on Gamecube the screen went dark and we can't get it back on. After removing all the power and AV cables for a half an hour and then plugging them back in, I get a blink code on the red power LED on the front of the unit. I get 3 blinks then a pause, then 3 blinks, pause, ... this pattern repeats seemingly as long as I let it stay powered on. I've tried holding the power button. I've tried holding the power button as the power cable is re-applied. But nothing changes the outcome. 3 blinks repeating as soon as the power cable is re-applied. I've searched the avsforum dotcom and found a link to the service manual. Unfortunately, the service manual does not contain the blink code troubleshooting guide. I found some videos on youtube with models that are close to mine, but not exactly the same and even then, nothing with a blink code of 3 blinks. After reading the avsforum, it appears that many are ultimately referred here to badcaps.net . Here there is a thread with my model and my 3 blink code error, but no solution. I'd like to take the machine apart and replace the faulty board, capacitor, resistor, fan, ... But I can't even find a troubleshooting guide to determine which part to replace. Does anyone have any insight into this particular error code?
