PANASONIC FHD PLASMA TV
Quick Procedure To Check For Short or Low
Resistance Condition of the Vsus, Vda, and P15V Lines
Note: Vsus is generated by the
Power supply and is only used by the SS and SC boards
Vda is generated by the Power supply and is only used by the Panel (Panel Drive ICs)
P15V is generated by the Power supply and is used by the A, SS, and SC boards.
Vda is generated by the Power supply and is only used by the Panel (Panel Drive ICs)
P15V is generated by the Power supply and is used by the A, SS, and SC boards.
Test points for the Vsus, Vda, and P15V can
be easily found on the P board. To check for short circuit or low
resistance on these lines, follow this procedure:
Preparation
1. Make sure the TV is disconnected.
2. Remove any residual charge from the Vsus and Vda lines by momentarily grounding them through a 500 ohms resistor (At least 5Watts).
3. Measure the resistance between chassis ground and the pins indicated on the table below. A dead short or a reading lower than 1K indicates a shorted or partially shorted line.

Quick Procedure To Determine the Cause
of the Problem if a short or Low Resistance Reading is Found
Shorted Vsus
Note: Vsus is generated by the
Power supply and is only used by the SS and SC boards
If a short is found on the Vsus line, remove connectors
P2/SC2 and P11/SS11 one at a time to determine if the SC board or the SS board
is defective.
Shorted Vda
Vda is generated by the Power
supply and is only used by the Panel (Panel Drive ICs)
If a short is found on the Vda line, is likely that the panel or one of the C boards is defective. To determine which is defective, remove connector C10 between the C1 and C2 boards and the panel’s flex-cables connected to the C boards one at a time.
If a short is found on the Vda line, is likely that the panel or one of the C boards is defective. To determine which is defective, remove connector C10 between the C1 and C2 boards and the panel’s flex-cables connected to the C boards one at a time.
Shorted P15V
P15V is generated by the Power
supply and is used by the A, SS, and SC boards.
If a short is found on the P15V line, remove connectors
P6, P11, and SC20 one at a time to determine which board is defective. A
shorted P15 is primarily caused by the following boards in the order presented;
SC, P, A, and SS boards.
Note: Even though is not common, the P board can also cause a shorted Vsus, Vda, or P15V.

Connectors location
Detailed Troubleshooting
Procedure for Shorted Vsus
Unplug connectors P2 and P11, on the P board.
Measure the resistance between pin 1 of connector P2 and ground (Chassis)
Is there a short circuit?
If yes Replace
the P board
If no then Measure the resistance between pin1 of connector SC2 on the SC
board and ground (Chassis).
Is there a short circuit?
If not then Replace the SS board
If yes then Measure the resistance between pin1 of connector SS11 on the SS
board and ground (Chassis).
Is there a short circuit?
If yes then Replace the SC and SS
boards
If no then Replace
the SC board.
Detailed Troubleshooting
Procedure for Shorted P15
Unplug connectors P6 and P11, on the P board.
Measure the resistance between pin 1 of connector P6 and ground (Chassis)
Is there a short circuit?
If yes then Replace the P board
If not then Reconnect P11 and measure the resistance between pin 13 of connector
P6 and ground (Chassis)
Is there a short circuit?
If yes then Replace the SS board
If not then Disconnect SC20 on the SC board and reconnect P6. Measure the resistance
between pin 13 of connector P6 and ground (Chassis)
Is there a short circuit?
If yes Replace the A board
If not then Replace
the SC board
Detailed Troubleshooting
Procedure for Shorted Vda
Unplug the connector P35 on the P board and
check the resistance between pin 1 of connector P35 on the P board and ground
(Chassis)
Is there a short circuit ?
If yes then Replace the P board
If not then
42” & 46” models Reconnect P35 and unplug
the ibbon cable between the C1 and C2 boards. Measure the resistance between
pin 1 of connector P35 on the P board and ground (Chassis)
Is there a short circuit ?
If yes then The problem could be the C2
board or the panel. Proceed to isolate the panel from the C2 board
to determine which is bad.
If not then The problem could be
the C1 board or the panel. Proceed to isolate
the panel from the C1 board to determine which is bad.
50” - 55” -60” -65” models Reconnect P35 and unplug the ribbon
cable between the C2 and C3 boards. Measure the resistance between pin 1 of
connector P35 on the P board and ground (Chassis)
Is there a short circuit?
If yes then The problem could be the C3
board or the panel. Proceed to isolate the panel from the C3 board
to determine which is bad.
If not then Reconnect the ribbon cable between the C2 and C3 boards and unplug
the ribbon cable between the C1 and C2 boards. Measure the resistance between
pin 1 of connector P35 on the P board and ground (Chassis)
Is there a short circuit?
If yes then The problem could be the C2
board or the panel. Proceed to isolate the panel from the C2 board
to determine which is bad.
If not then The problem could be
the C1 board or the panel. Proceed to isolate
the panel from the C1 board to determine which is bad.
