Red and green lamps look off center

is the driver left side as in USA? (LHD or RHD)?
educated means too we read the service manual (SM)
and the page on rear lamps. Schematics, or we just fiddle about and guess.

fuses all good, we check them all.
the problem #1 is on BCM cars, no 2 BCM work the same
so again the SM comes to our rescue.
BCM is body brain and runs all lamp, in odd ways, you don't know yet.
answering for only USA cars, LHD.
brake lamps are rear amps 2 or 3 total

that socket burnup (where) is signs of dead shorted lamp.
needs new lamp first and new socket 2nd.
the IPS runs all 3 rear stop lamps left, center and right.
facts, Schematic on my screen
all 3 lamps use the same single wire to glow. branks
but not ground
left uses GF04 ground wire to body.
GF04 ground runs the other 2 lamps.
so the only failure here is left lamp

• the lamp bad
• the wire bad (or socket0
• or the ground bad GF04

2 man job, step brake, 2nd man meter in hand.
a voltmeter tells you which one is bad.
step on brake pedal 12vdc here, all 3 on that 1 wire.
ground reads 0v.
yes ,yes, then lamp is bad.


meter black test wire must be to perfect metal ground for tests.
max ground volts is 0.5vdc max.but 0 is goal.
the lamp shorted I guess and burned up parts related.

That means that the lamp may be defective and the TV needs service. You can replace the lamp yourself. The code is on the right side of the TV and on the lamp case. Get a replacement using this code from the store where you bought the TV or a Samsung Service Center.

Once you have the correct lamp (the wrong one may damage your TV), make sure your TV has been off for at least 30 minutes (cool down). The cool down will not happen properly if the TV is plugged into anything other than a wall outlet.

Open the lamp case and take out the old lamp and replace with the new one. Do not touch the glass with your hands and do not insert any objects into the case. Do not leave the old lamp near flammable objects or where children can access it.

I hope this helps.

The band or shadow on the left side of the screen definitely sounds like a defective light tunnel.As for the intermittent pix and shut down this could be the lamp if you have not already changed it.

Hello

black strip down the right side its about 2 inches wide there are also red and green flashing lights that is defective shorted capacitor at power inverter board section that was 300uf 200volts.

Thanks...

Replace lamp.

the reflecting mirror is likely loose and falling down inside the light reflecting tube. you should have seen the band getting darker and larger,
the small mirror is in front of the lamp and bends the light,
remove the lamp and look down the tube (light path)

This unit has a chonic issue with corruption in the eeprom that causes spots and shadows. The correction is to find some service center that has the jig to hook up to your unit and correct the eeprom. This is an extended warranty issue with Panasonic and if you contact them they should be able to refer you a qualifed service center and Panasonic will pay.

You have a bad Light Tunnel in the Light engine, you can replace the engine, or try to replace the tunnel.

What are the labels on the lights? Timer/Lamp/Service and what color is wich?

Your tv has a convergance failure. the convergance ic's need to be replaced. Upgraded part # STK392-150 or STK392-160. Both ic's should be replaced to prevent future failure of other colors.
