Service manual for th-42pz77u

SOURCE: panasonic th-42pz77u 42ed

Pin 93 of the MPU IC9003 monitors the status of the SC, SU, SD board. During normal operation, the photo-coupler PC6480 outputs a low to pin 93. If the SC, SU, or SD board becomes defective, a high is provided to pin 93. As a result, the unit shuts down and the power LED blinks 7 times.

I have the 52" version of the Viera model. Mine went out last night and started blinking twice over and over again. I suspected overheating so i just went to bed and tried it in the morning with no luck. Then I unplugged it for more than ten minutes and plugged it back in and everything worked fine. I hope this helps.

1 Blink SOS: This shutdown operation is usually caused by a lack of communication between the A and the D boards.
1 Blink SOS: This shutdown operation may be caused by the improper connection of a SS board connector to the panel.
2 Blinks SOS: Pin 87 of the MPU IC9003 monitors the 15V line. During normal operation, the transistors Q9053 and Q9054 output a high to pin 87. If the 15V line is missing or shorted, a low is provided to pin 87. As a result, the unit shuts down and the power LED blinks 2 times.
3 Blinks SOS: IC9807 is a 3.3V regulator located on the D board. Its output is monitored by IC9003. If the 3.3V is not present at pin 86, the MPU shuts down the unit. The power LED blinks 3 times.
5 Blinks SOS: Pin 85 of the MPU IC9003 monitors the 5V line. During normal operation, the transistors Q9051 and Q9052 output a high to pin 85. If the 5V line is missing or shorted, a low is provided to pin 85. As a result, the unit shuts down and the power LED blinks 5 times.
6 Blinks SOS: Pin 90 of the MPU IC9003 monitors the status of the SC board. During normal operation, the transistor Q6581 and IC6581 output a low to pin 90. If the SC board becomes defective, a high is provided to pin 90. As a result, the unit shuts down and the power LED blinks 6
6 Blinks SOS: 6 blinks of the power LED may also be obtained from pin 3 of IC9003, the DRV_RESET input. The D board provides the 5V source needed to power the C boards. On the C2 board, the 5V is routed back to the D board via connector C20/C10, C11/D31 causing pin 3 of IC9003 to be high. If 5V is not routed back to the D board, pin 3 of IC9003 goes low. The set goes into shutdown mode and the power LED emits 6 blinks.
7 Blinks SOS: Pin 93 of the MPU IC9003 monitors the status of the SC, SU, SD board. During normal operation, the photo-coupler PC6480 outputs a low to pin 93. If the SC, SU, or SD board becomes defective, a high is provided to pin 93. As a result, the unit shuts down and the power LED blinks 7 times.
8 Blinks SOS: Pin 91 of the MPU IC9003 monitors the status of the SS board. During normal operation, pin 8 of connector SS23 outputs a low to pin 91. If the SS board becomes defective, a high is provided to pin 91. As a result, the unit shuts down and the power LED blinks 8 times.
10 Blinks SOS: The SUB5V and DT9V sources created on the A board are monitored by IC1100. If they are not present at pin 30 and 34, the MPU shuts down the unit. The power LED blinks 10 times.
10 Blinks SOS: The F_STB_15V of the P board, as well as the derived SUB5V and DT9V sources are monitored on the A board for excessive current. If a short circuit is developed in one of the supplied lines, pin 114 of IC1100 receives a high. The SUB5V and DT9V lines are also monitored for excessive voltage. When an over-voltage condition is detected, a high is also output to pin 114 of IC1100. The DT9V is provided to a DC/DC converter to create the BT30V for the tuner. If the BT30V becomes excessive, a high is output to pin 114 of IC1100. A high at pin 114 of IC1100 causes the unit to shutdown and the power LED to blink 10 times.

seven blinks on this model is the SC board. it will need a new SC board and the software update for the new board. usually only authorized servicers have the software need to do the upgrade. but if you were to contact panasonic then they might be able to have it fixed for you for free since this was a defect in manufacturing. of course this depends on how long you have had the tv.
