Panasonic TV stuck in standby

Sep 13, 2008 2 Replies

I have a Panasonic Tx-28DK1 TV (Euro4 chassis).



when attempting to switch on, the standby LED switches from red to green, but after about 4 secs a relay clicks and it reverts to standby.



Before the fault became permanent, it was intermittent - would eventually switch after several attempts.



The Line Output Transistor had gone low resistance between base and emitter (22ohms both ways), but replacing it didn't fix the problem. I have removed and checked all the large high voltage electrolytics for value and leakage at up to 50Vdc on a bench PSU, but they're all OK.



Any ideas where I might look next?

PS. Does anyone have a complete schematic they'd be prepared to share? I bought a manual online, but it's obviously dodgy because the (badly) scanned schematics are very incomplete. The parts list is complete though.

I'm not familiar with this chassis, but it appears that the main uP (SDA5450) has two protection pins (VPROT and PROT1) which you should verify. The Video Display Processor chip (VDP3108) also has its own protection pins.

Thanks Franc - this is a useful (free) resource.

I checked these out, but they don't exactly cover the model I have.
