Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
I just wanted to close the circle on my thread and provide an update. I sent my A-board to Moduslink PTS last week. They repaired the board, and it was delivered to my house today. I just finished installing and everything works with the same beautiful picture! Is a slight hum coming from the P board and SC board normal when viewing a bright picture? I have never had the tv apart before, so I never was close enough to notice this slight hum and wouldn't know if it were normal before the lightning strike. Also, part of the troubleshooting...

Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
yep...i just watched the shop jimmy video of how to find suffix revisions...i assumed the "AB" located near the "SUFFIX" letters meant it was an "AB" version...but it looks like the jumber locations under the suffix letters determine the version...seems to me this is great news! thanks again TWLeave a comment:

Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
love the conversation and advice!!! i'm looking for the link right now for the $150 board...by the way that first moduslinkspts link that you cited takes me to a sufix AC board...mine is a sufix AB board...my guess is that it makes a differenceLeave a comment:

Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
First, thanks to all who have contributed to this thread! To confirm, consensus is
1. A board is bad
2. P board is producing 5v which is a sign of life but can be tested using Andrew Ali's test above to confirm it is functioning
I found a used A board for about $150 usd. Is it better to buy that board or have moduslinkpts rebuild. I have no idea what the cost of that would be.Leave a comment:

Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
okay...so is it possible to troubleshoot the A board and replace bad parts (i suppose there could be many) or better to replace the whole board? Also does further trouble shooting need to be done on the A board to confirm that it does not have other issues? Or does the 5V standby test tell us that all is well with the A board?Last edited by hrpuffnstuff; 08-16-2015, 04:28 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
thanks tw...I think that means put dmm meter on "DC" and check for voltage with the positive lead on A7 or P7 pin 1...where do i put the negative lead...is there a good place to ground the negative lead (chassis, a place on the board, or some other place)?Leave a comment:

Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
lol...yes...living island was just a great place for an 8 year old to spend a few minutes on saturday mornings...yes, I know how to solder and use dmm...when you say underside of the p board do you mean back side, as in with it removed (because I have not removed it yet) or do you mean the bottom of the board? I went ahead and pulled the board, the back (the joint side) looks good.Last edited by hrpuffnstuff; 08-16-2015, 12:42 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
While still soldered to the board, they measure .4 or .5 ohms...none are open...all beepedLast edited by hrpuffnstuff; 08-16-2015, 11:57 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
Yeah, how do you check those fuses? I've never seen those types. They are white with colored bands...how would you know if they are bad other than removing them from the circuit and seeing if they are "open"? By the way, while still soldered to the board, they measure .4 or .5 ohms...none are open...Last edited by hrpuffnstuff; 08-16-2015, 11:53 AM.Leave a comment:

Panasonic Plasma TC-P50S2 Lightning Dead
Had a lightning strike 2 weeks ago. I think it came in through the OTA antenna or the cable tv cable based on the fact that the items that were damaged were TV, media players, cable modem, wireless router, and antenna amplifier. When the lightning entered the house the TV was turned on and made a loud pop. Anyway, my Panasonic plasma TC-P50S2 is completely dead. Dead as in when I press the power button there are no lights (such as standby) and no noise (such as clicks or relays), and absolutely no sounds of life. I've got the back cover of the TV and, after reading many threads on this forum,... -
