Panasonic 52 inch projection tv is not turning on anymore, it flashes light 3 times every few minutes in power indecator on front of the dash of tv. when unplugged and then replugged in it trys to turn but doesn't
Three blinks is short protection----the most common cause in panasonic sets is a shorted convergence IC---most use 2 STK-392-110 ic's;they are located on metal heat sinks next to each other(Ic is black with STK and number in white on it)
I have details on replacing this if you are able; if not find someone in your area to do this; What I usually do here is gain access to the 2 ic chips and UNSOLDER BOTH OF THEM(each has 18 pins) with them un-soldered turn the set on---if it comes on the convergence will be out the window but it tells you instantly one of the two chips are bad.
Both must be replaced and any of the 2.2 ohm resistors(light blue in color) around them that are white in the middle(gone) also replaced.
The chips can be purchased on Ebay and for less then 20 dollars total parts cost.
If you are not able to do this repair yourself--this is the slow time of year for TV repair shops---find someone local (make sure they change both chips!)
This repair should be able to be done in your home----If you have questions or would like the general instructions let me know.
I do this here for free so if this has helped you give me a vote here.
