Why does my panasonic tc p50st30 tv menu not work, tv will turn on but can not shut it off unless I unplug tv.

Why does my panasonic tcp 42 st30 tv menu not work, tv will turn on but can not shut it off unless I unplug tv. I push the power button in on the tv, it will shut off for 5 seconds and turn back on by it self. Red light does not Blink when turned on. Was able to reset everything to factory default settings once but after 10 minutes Menu will not come up and can not adjust volume on remote or on side of tv. All functions locked or something? Thanks anyone out there for your time.

I would believe this to be a problem with the lvds cable that goes from your logic board to the main board. If your tv does not have a logic board, then it would have to be incorporated into the main board. A lot of times the connection gets loose on the main to logic board. If you reseat it, it may fix itself. If nothing else, you can pick up a logic board on ebay for around 25 dollars with shipping. It is usually very easy to replace. Most of the time, it's hidden behind the A board known as the Main board. It would probably take less than an hour to put in for someone not familar with the internals of a tv. Just MAKE SURE the tv is NOT plugged into the AC line.

SOURCE: Plasma TV will not turn on

The 7 blinks means that the SC scan drive board might need to be replace but only after checking the voltages from the power supply. If the voltages from the power supply are normal, then proceed to replace the SC scan board.

SOURCE: Panasonic 32 inch LCD TV will not turn on-red light flashing

The number of flashes is an error code. Count the number of flash. It looks like one of the boards in your set is failing intermittently. Panasonic codes for a guide as a starting point. Exact board STILL has to be verified;
One Blink: One blink of the power LED indicates a problem in the inverter circuit located on the LCD panel. The inverter board is not to be repaired in the field. Therefore a replacement is required.
Three Blinks: Three blinks of the power LED indicates an over-current or over-voltage condition in one of the DC supplies of the AP board. The AP board is repairable. Therefore the use of an ohmmeter and peak-hold-voltmeter is required to determine the cause of the shutdown. An over-voltage condition is definitely a defect of the AP board. An over-current condition may be due to a short circuit located in the AP board, A board, or the LCD panel.
Five, Seven, or Eight Blinks: The A board is responsible for five, seven or eight blinks of the power LED. The MAIN +3.3V, MAIN +5V, and MAIN +9V sources are all produced on the A board. The detection input pins of the MPU, IC1100, monitor for their presence.
Four or Six Blinks: The AP board is responsible for four or six blinks of the power LED. The DTV9V, and SUB_5V sources are produced on the AP board. The MPU IC1100 monitors for their presence when the unit is connected to AC Power. A short or open circuit on the A board may also be responsible for their absence.
Nine Blinks: Nine blinks of the power LED is due a short circuit in the audio output circuit (s) of the unit. The audio output circuit is located on the A board. Confirm the status of the speakers. If defective, perform a replacement. If ok, replace the A board.
Ten Blinks: Ten blinks of the power LED indicates a malfunction of IC4200, the frame converter. This IC resides on the A board. Therefore ten blinks of the power LED requires the replacement of the A board.

What is the red light blinking? Count the blinks before it pauses and post back here. It'll give me and everyone else a starting point.

Hello. Panasonic 10 blinks issue have special troubleshooting flowchart to diagnose problem and could take some time for professional like me to correctly figure out faulty board/s. You can start with power supply board replacement just because out of my experience it is bad about 80% of the time. And most of the time another board is affected as well.
I would not recommend homeowner to try this repair without appropriate skills, I know several cases when professionals wasn't able to diagnose problem properly and ended up losing too much money and effort.
In case if you have two boards in bad shape - you already looking to spend not less than $400+ in parts.
Maybe better way is just to invest in new one. And stay away from plasma technology. It is a science project that never got finished.
I would recommend LCD or LED Panel TV.
Regards.
Russ.

No picture or sound on a Panasonic plasma tv tc-p50st30? Replaced power board and still same problem. The power light comes on and stays on. No blinking.

Try to unplug the TV for about 20 minutes and then press and hold power button on the TV for about 10 seconds to reset your television and plug TV back in and see if that resolves the issue.If they problem still is showing up then the screen is broken and the back light is not working anymore and needs to be replaced.

No picture and power light blinks 7 times on my viera tc-p50st30 plasma tv when it is turned on

That can be caused by either the SC or SD board. Contact the people at www.tvrepairworld.com they can assist with proper diagnosis and they also should have the replacement board

I have a panasonic TC-P50ST30 and viera link will not work with my charter HD DVR cable box. I have a HDMI cable connecting them.What can I do?

Unfortunately, your charter HD DVR cable box is not a Viera link device that is compatible with the TC-P50ST30. Viera Link only works to control Panasonic HDAVI devices that are Viera Link ready (and that use the same Viera link coding) when using the HDMI cable. Thus some Viera link devices of different generations will not work with the same Viera link remote.

The manual for the TC-P50ST30 is available here: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/TCP42ST30.PDF . See page 32 for details on the Viera link controls.

I wish that I had better news for you. However, you will need to use separate remotes for your cable box and the TV.
