Panasonic said "A" board,
A board SOS Detect (Explanation)
10 Blinks SOS: The voltage regulators IC5400 and IC5401 in the A board generate SUB9V and SUB5V. The 9V and 5V from these ICs are monitored by IC1100. Any abnormality on the SUB9V or SUB5V lines, triggers the shutdown circuit and the MPU shuts down the unit. The power LED blinks 10 times.

But need to measure the connection SC2, if it short, it will be the SC board.

The knowledge obtain from: Real case of repair by myself.
Information from Panasonic training manual.

    @TVhelp-Dave. I'm having the same problem with the same TV. Is the A board the main input/ output board? Where did you get the repair manual that you site in your response? I'm decent with electronics, but it is impossible for me to walk throught these steps without a schematic. Do you know where to find a copy of a manual like this in physical or pdf form? Thanks a lot. Your responses are always thorough and usually right on the money. I appreciate any help I can get.

Most likely the problem is in the power supply and most of the time can be fixed by replacing a few capacitors but, you may want someone professional to do them to make sure you don't make any short circuit.

No picture-red light flashes 2 times-is this a fault code and what is it telling me?

The light flashing 2 times means that the D board (Main Logic) needs to be replaced.
