My 2012 Panasonic tc-p50u50 blocks 8 times no picture or sounds please help

andRW V, this from Panasonic regarding the 8 blink code Symptom: Unit is dead with 8 blinks power LED. Cause: Defective SS board, part number TXNSS1SDUU. Remedy:

  1. Identify three components on the board: Q16051, D16041 and R16051. Refer to Fig.1
  2. Remove above parts from the board. Clean the heat sink and apply fresh compound.
  3. Replace with new parts as follows: • Q16051: DG3D3020CVLW • D16041: B0FBCN000005 • R16051: D0GF5R6JA047 Inspect all grounding paths around mounting holes on the board and on the PDP panel area and carefully clean noticed arcing marks (Fig.2 and Fig.3) using sand paper with 400~1000 grit.

Of course, if you are not up to soldering those pieces, you can always replace the board.
