One blinking light

Panasonic Vierra E3 series. Went to turn on one day and tv cycled on and off three times, before shutting down and giving me a single blinking light. TV is apart, no boards appear burnt up or damaged.

Use these charts to locate the problem. The burnt part may be very small and hard to see without good light.

Testimonial: "thanks for posting! I actually replaced the invertor board yesterday. Because the invertor board is responsible for sending the SOS signal, but everything appeared to be working properly (TV would turn on and display picture for 1 second) i figured that board was sending out a false SOS. It worked!"

We had a Pioneer that did the same thing. We called a Pioneer Service Center. It appears there was a recall on the Power Supply. They fixed it in our home at not charge.

SOURCE: panasonic hd tv light blinks 7 times

Hi,

Unfortunately this appears to be a common issue developing with these Panasonic sets i.e the '7 blinks of death'!

Several customers are complaining about it. The problem is caused by one, both, or all of the following boards: SC board, SD board, and SU board.

Most commonly, the SC board is the one that has failed and because Panasonic have received so many complaints about this issue they are now agreeing to replace the SC board under extended warranty.

However this is not widely known amongst the general public and Panasonic have kept it very quiet.

I would suggest that you make contact with the Panasonic Concierge service centre. Make them aware that you are aware of the SC board issue and that there is an extended warranty on this and ask them to replace it.

However if it happens that one of the other boards has failed be aware that Panasonic are not covering these under warranty and you will be charged for the repair in this case.

The Panasonic Concierge service is available from here

Thanks for using FixYa.

Are you saying the power light blinks constantly and does not stop blinking?

The model you have indicated does not flash light three times on its own.

Confirm model number and I will try to help you--WS65315 is the correct model number?

The more you tell me the better I am able to help you.

The PT-53WX52

This looks like a problemcausing the shutdown circuit to trigger. The shutdown circuit prevents the TV from being further damaged by an overcurrent or overvoltage event. The overcurent event is caused by a component being over driven and thus it decreases in resistive value causing an increase in current, The over voltage event is caused by a component increasing in its resistive value either due to an open circuit or decrease in the component's conductive area. In any event the shutdown circuits senses these eventes and shuts the TV down to prevent futher damage.

I would suggest taking the set to your local TV repair shop.

I hope this helps,
