Dead TV Panasonic CT 36HL42CF

Download the user manual to your TV. Clik here to download it. See whether audio options to it are set right. If all are right, check its speaker. If speaker is OK, the audio output circuit section should be troubleshooted.
If you feel any difficulty in downloading the manual, send your email address to me. I'll send a copy of it to you by return mail.

High voltage too high going into xray protection. Check the collector of the horizontal output transistor for 130v dc.

This problems,it is the power supply board.It have dying and soon to dead parts call capcitors.U have all the tools and understanding basic electronic also can do basic soldering work?That the board,where the power a/c cord plug into it.Yes,take the tv aparts,check the power supply board for it board all it corners looking for dying and soon to be dead capactors parts.These dying soon to be dead capacitors are alway bulging or puffing ups onto it tops.By replacing all these dying soon to be dead capacitors,ur tv will have the right current and voltages,to power up and work gain.Or try website like Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Ur hight voltage FBT,the flyback transformer is dead.The big block of plastic with a red wire with a cap that hook to a CRT.U know how to solders?Replaced the FBT well solved ur problem.But the FBT it hard to find this day,because tv compannies don't manufactures parts small CRT tv anymore.Ur only luck is find it on Ebay.com.

No,unplug wait a couple mins,and replug that ur reset.Most of these prob.are all related to the high voltage prob.That FBT,the flyback transformer.The big block of plastic with a red wire with a cap hook to ur CRT(tv tube).It cold solders,it dying or dead.

Panasonic probably uses the same code on your model.

B+ over current protection (OCP), unit goes to the standby mode. Could be a short in the power supply of any of the circuits.

Sure, Why not? It is worth the effort. If the set is 'dead', it is the easiest to repair.Only 'tampered' sets pose problems. It could be a simple blown Fuse, or the Power Regulator IC. This should not cost you more than $100-150 as Technician charges + 15-20$ for spares. It could also be a defective Horizontal Outut Transistor and short cicuiterd FBT, (tho' it seems remote), but if yes, add another $100. definitely worth calling a professional techie
