Panasonic PT-51HX42 51" Rear Projection Television Logo
Anonymous Posted on Sep 21, 2010

My TV was working last week (PT-51HX42) I moved it to a different room and now it will not power up. I removed the cover at the back and the fuse is intact. After putting the cover back on and plugging in the power, I tried to power on the TV and power light came on for 1/2 second, then there was a crackling sound from the back of the TV and then nothing. Please tell me how might be able to fix the tv. I replaced the convergence chips about 10 months ago.

    No blinking at all, - it may have lit for a half second or so, but I am not sure it even did tha, after this happened, I tried unpluggin and plugging back in, it sizzled again once or twice, then the sound came on and seemed the tv was going to come on, but switched off again after maybe 2 sec and I have not been able toget anything else out of it

The Crackling sound is most likely the Flyback transformer or HV splitter needing replacement. Does the power light blink? If so how many times?

    Can I replace these? If so how do I identify these components

    The flyback transformer is located on the Brown Board and has the large red wire coming from its top and going into the HV splitter which has an additional three of the large rred HV wires.

First check your power outlet, try connecting the TV to a different power outlet. Then see whether the LED light on the TV is on or blinking. Anyhow, this might need attention by a qualified service technician.

I have a panasonic pt-51hx42. I was just

your convergence power supply blew a fuse & probably one if not both of the STK ics. Normally when this happens the short takes out the low value resistors connected to the ics.
it is common practice in the shop to replace both STKs and resistors

PT-51HX42 51inc. - picture bowing

This happened a few years ago to me. I called the repairman out and he said that I had my tv too close to a magnet source, which turned out to be a speaker and also the reciever for my home theater. See if this may be your problem. Good Luck.
