Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
After I got my tv I did a lot of research on this site before I ever posted, see post 34. I read about Moreno83 and Tom66 and figured you guys would be a big help...HA!
Andrew F. Ali is the BEST!
How about the incorrect info from R J in post#31 which I corrected in #32?
Mr. Moreno83 FINALLY joins the party in post #62.
Tvtimmy pm'd me and said he had a working board and wanted to know what it was worth to me. HE ASKED ME!!!
I asked tvtimmy for some pics, see below. After my comments on his work, I get double...

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
SERIOUSLY, I mean this is the TOPSIDE of the board, right under where the tuner lives. Solder splatter, runs, what looks like iron scrapes all over the board. It's hard telling what the solder side (the. business side) of the board looks like!
If you guys can't see the difference in these pics, I give up!
IMHO, you had too much tequila before you removed your tuner, lol....Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
Thanks Andrew
I forgot to say, the next board I'm considering already has the tuner removed. I was told that it had the f connector ripped off it also. That's why I removed the tuner from my board, practice, practice, practice!...Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
Well, after about 4 hours of hard work, the tuner is finally off. 2 different soldering irons, a cheap solder sucker, some resoldering with flux on the main legs then quick air blast from shop air compressor....whew.
I got it pretty hot a couple of times, I hope I didn't damage it! Anyway curious minds gotta know so I popped the top off. There's a lot going on in there! Here's some pics, sorry about the quality but I'm tired.
I sure hope I didn't hurt it....Last edited by notch8; 07-27-2018, 11:50 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
No worries, forget it. I'm currently trying to get the tuner off my bad board using a pencil iron and cheap solder sucker...it ain't easy. I've located a good board that needs a tuner...so...maybe it'll work out after all. I'm also waiting on refund of damaged board....Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
I figured as much, about the top popping off however, as Andrew Ali stated, I paid for a good board, I should have received one. Someone yanked that tv from the wall and cable ripping the rf connector out. And from what I've heard lately, it's a common event. Probably a tv repossession or possible theft. Another member has the same board that had the same issue....Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
As luck would have it, I just happen to have a couple of those lying around and that idea crossed my mind. But, there were 2 pin holes down inside the big hole and the outside of the big hole was badly deformed as was the whole top of the tuner actually. Too much damage IMO....Leave a comment:

Re: Much confusion over one Panasonic TCP50S2 board
Hey GLE3
On a side note, I too bought a used a board from tvpartstoday, last week, for my Panasonic plasma tv, Tc-p50s30. They sent me a board with the tuner jack ripped out! IMHO, I don't trust them. Luckily I went through eBay so if tvpartstoday won't refund my money, eBay is supposed to. I'm waiting for refund....Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
I've made no secret that I'm an electronics novice. Last night I watched a utube video on tuner r&r. Not exately a 5 minute job! Hey Moreno83 or tvtimmy or anyone else for that matter, got a spare Hakko 808 desoldering gun lying around that I could use for free? No...I didn't think so....Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
I appreciate it Andrew. This company, tvpartstoday, already has some negative feedback. I went through eBay, it shipped free, and it looks like I'll get a refund, if I'm lucky. eBay mixup between refund and replacement, that's a whole different story. Of course I'll still have to get another board or get out the gun. I've tried calling the seller but when they sell through eBay, you have to go through eBay. I won't pay $150 for a board. Thanks for the support!...Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
Why didn't you say that in post #75? No one is more bummed out over this than me! I've done some more research on the company I'm dealing with, I'll be lucky if it all works out well. I may still take a 12 guage to this POS!...Leave a comment:

The boards on it's way back to where it came from. I try to get another, just hope it's complete.Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
I don't have cable, I cut the cord a year ago , I have an outside antenna and I need the coax jack to watch local programs. I've checked the composite jack on the new board with a DVD player and it works, don't know about any others.
So the basic question remains, exchange tuners off of boards myself or exchange the board for another and hope I get a good one. I doubt I'll get a discount if I keep the damaged one.
I guess what I'm really wanting to know is, should I go to all the trouble of changing the tuners...Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
Good news, bad news. The board arrived today with the threaded cable end torn out of the tuner. The end was not in the box either. I installed the card to see if it fixed the tv...tv plays perfect! Whoopie!
Bought through eBay from TVPARTSTODAY for $54 and change. No shipping through eBay.
Question: do I go through the hassle of sending it back through eBay for a replacement and hope it works (if it doesn't they'll make it good, just like this time) or should I do a little soldering and put the tuner from my old...Leave a comment:

It's supposed to be TNPH0914AC, so I should be good, plug and play, thanks....Leave a comment:

Re: 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30 IS DEAD
New board is enroute. Question: new board suffix is supposed to be AC. When I get it, if the resistor/s are located differently than mine, do I go ahead, install and try it or do I need to try and move/change arrangement to match my board?
Just thinking out loud.Leave a comment:

I read a post of yours dated early last year on this subject. It was a bigger tv but same problem I think. Your answer then was main board replacement....Leave a comment:
