In this video today we are going to go over the Panasonic Plasma 6 blink code for Panasonic
Plasma TVs that were made in 2011. Here is a graphic on the screen that shows the model
numbers from 2011 that this video will apply to.
Just a reminder that if you have a question about your repair or your TV problem, feel
free to comment below this video. We appreciate when you subscribe and leave a comment with
your question and we will respond as quickly as we can.
Be sure to include your TV model number, the brand and the symptoms that your TV is showing.
That will help us to best determine the fix for your TV repair and get the response back
to you as quickly as possible. Just to go over a few boards here on the TV,
you have the main board also referred to as the A board, here you have the SS board also
referred to as an X-Sustain or X-Main Board on some TVs. Here we have the power supply
board, which can also be referred to as the P board. Here we have the SC board, this can
also be referred to as the Y-Sustain, YSUS and Y-Main board for different brands. Here
we have the buffers that connect to the SC board, these are also SU and SD boards and
can be Y Scan Drives and different buffers for different brands as well.
Now we will take a look at a video of what the 6 blink code looks like on the Panasonic
Plasma TV. So if you are getting this 6 blink code, the first thing you will want to do
is check the connections between your A main board over here and the SC board over here
and the C boards along the bottom here. You will want to check all these connections to
make sure they are properly seated. There's one under here. Make sure that they
are properly seated and connected tightly so you can eliminate that as a possibility
of a problem. Next, with your TV unplugged you will want to disconnect the connection
on the SC board here at SC20. We will show a close up of that now. You will want to do
the same on your C2 board on the bottom and disconnect C20. So you will want to disconnect
the ribbon cable at C20 on one of your C boards on the bottom of the TV.
So once you have disconnected the SC20 and C20 ribbon cables, next you will want to plug
your TV back in and turn it on. Now we will plug the TV back in.
So after you have plugged in the TV, go ahead and hit the power button. If the TV stays
on but still has a black screen, then you will want to replace your SC board. If it
does not stay on with a black screen, then you will want to unplug the TV and we will
go into further diagnosis. Since the TV does not stay on with a black
screen, we will move ahead with further diagnosis. We will want to reconnect our ribbon cables
back to the SC and C board, but first there could be a residual charge in this connection,
so we will undo the P35 connection after we have unplugged our TV, before we connect the
ribbon cables. We will go ahead and disconnect this. Now we will go ahead and reconnect the
ribbon cables here to the SC and the C board. After we have reconnected the ribbon cables,
then we will go ahead and put this P35 cable back in.
So at this point in the diagnosis process, you will need to begin to check voltages to
determine the cause of the 6 blink code in your TV. There are 2 areas on the SC board
that need to be checked for voltages. We will now have a graphic appear on the screen
with a close up to show where the two voltages need to be checked.
You will want to check the positive side of the C561 capacitor on the graphic. The positive
side of the capacitor is the side in which the arrow is pointing on the graphic. That
capacitor should read at 5 volts. You will also want to check location TP82, and that
should read 15 volts. After measuring the voltages if you do have 15 volts at TP82 and
you have 5 volts on the positive side of the capacitor at C561, then you should replace
the A main board. If you do not have those voltages, then you should replace the P board,
the power supply board. Now before removing these boards or replacing
them, you will want to do a few things. You will want to turn off your TV, unplug it from
any power. You will also want to make sure that you have grounded yourself properly,
so that you don't damage any of the boards or the TV. After that you will want to go
ahead and remove these cables one by one from the board as we go around here. After you
have removed all of the cables, then you can undo the screws here with a screwdriver. Your
board will simply come off and then you can replace it with a new board. Put the screws
back in to secure it to the chassis and then put the cables back together on your replacement
board. Now you have replaced your board and you will want to put the back cover back on
the TV and turn on the TV to see if it is working properly. Again these are the following
models that this video will work for. Please remember if you have a question, to comment
