Ok---let me describe something and you tell me if your case: Set comes on and has audio--after 2-5 minutes if you look closely at the screen do you see a odd and faint band of noise top to bottom and to the right of the center of the screen?It takes a couple minutes and will be faint and easy to miss.Let me know what you see.

Tell me if this is what you see: set comes on and after a few minutes (it has sound) you see a odd colored band of noise very dark and top to bottom to the right of center on the screen?

The model indicated is a rear projection crt (picture tube type) set.

Count the number of blinks and if you have to: uplug the set and try to turn it on again---most will blink a error code and the most popular are a series of 3 blinks, a pause and 3 more blinks etc.

Let me know the number of blinks and I will attempt to point you to what is wrong.

SD TECH

This requires soldering and de-soldering skills and frankly it is an Electronic Technician's JOB.

You would need to count the blinks as that is a error code-----3 or 5 blinks are the most common.Let me know if I can help.

This is likely a convergence problem and if model number indicated here is correct set would need to have both of the stk-392-110 chips replaced and the set adjusted.Let me know if you have questions.

There are a number of sites on the internet if you Google the model number and the word mirror that sell mirrors for these sets.For a OEM part try ANDREWS ELECTRONICS who while in the LA area ships all over the nation. They are the largest OEM parts dealer in the United States.Let me know if you have a question, I will help.

look to see if power light blinks in a sequence, like three blinks pause or five blinks pause,this will point to the problem.Let me know what you find.Steve

This is the information typical of what you will see on this and other Panasonic sets when you take the set into the Tech mode with the remote.Do you have some further issue or problem?

thats a classic convergence issue. You can get the panasonic convergence repair kit for your model from www.tvrepairworld.com which has the parts and the CD with repair instructions.

Does the power indicator falsh? If so let me know the number of flashes and I will assist you with the issue

Thats the error code for low DC voltage chances are one of the regulators is defective or weak diode on the D board ( far right side when looking in the rear of the set)

Nope, not dust on the lens, but you have two IC's in the convergence correction circuit that have to be replaced. you shouls get the service manual for this set, as well as go to www.servicemanuals.net to find the download but also go to www.mcmelectronics to get the STK convergence IC's. If you have no solid state printed circuit board repair experience, I highly advise you to call in a pro to assist you in this repair. Good Luck

Thats the error code for the Convergence needing repair. You can get the panasonic PT47WX49 Convergence repair kit from www.tvrepairworld.com the kit has the components and the CD with repair instructions.
