Panasonic 32" dead.

M # CT-32SL14J Ch # AP 411, relay just clicks on, & off repeatedly at plug in. Nothing gone in the power supply, or horizontal, & the SMPS isn't oscillating, getting almost no output on all secondaries. Looks like the Micro, & EEPROM are bad, & Panasonic Tech just confirmed this. The Micro is a 64 pin QIP. Pretty hard to change. Have you guys seen many of these sets go bad like this? Thanks, Dani.



quirk of fate

static event perhaps, or some random piece of iron filings/manufacturing solder balls shook loose and went where it should not have

these things usually just dont fail like u describe

or could be one of those chip failures of the 1 in ten million of the MTBF actualy occured, & u the winner!

i would surmise it was a power glitch or out of bounds power supply excursion that did the nasty.
