Kevin, this may or may not apply to your model but I have seen this problem twice: Symptom: The unit will intermittently shut down or go into stand-by mode. The front power LED blinks 5 or 7 times. Often times cycling the power off and on will turn the unit back on. Cause: IC551 fails due to an internal defect in the IC. Remedy: Replace IC551 on all units with serial numbers less than or equal to YD3510432 regardless of the original complaint or symptom. Order part number C5HABZZ00123. Note: Units with serial numbers greater than YD3510433 already have an improved IC551 and are not affected. sending you pdf of bulletin privately Robert tvservice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx H & H Electronics Inc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin" <kevintv@xxxxxxx> To: "TECH-ASSIST" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 2:39 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Panasonic TH-42PHD5 plasma, comes on for 5 seconds, turns off. > This is my first plasma TV repair.
