here is the bulletin from Panasonic:
Subject: Convergence EEPROM change due to a data lost problem Affected
Models: PT-51G36E, PT-51D31E/VE/XE, PT-61D31E/VE/XE, PT-M5131VE (Affected
Chassis) P6 Symptoms: Sudden loss of convergence adjustments data, when unit
is turned on. Instructions: Replace the following components: Remove the
original convergence EEPROM (IC7102)#24LC64TI-SN  from X board. (Make sure
to unsolder the pins completely before removing. Incomplete desoldering will
cause the copper foil to peel off.)
Check the configuration of EEPROM before place it on the X board.
For models PT-51D31C, PT-M5131VE/XE and PT-51G36E/CE replace the IC7102 with
#TVR2AJ142S
For models PT=31D31CE/VE/XE  replace the IC7102 with TVR2AJ143S
 procced to adjust the unit. (Follow the Service Manual adjustment
instructions)
Reasons: The original EEPROM 24LC64TI-SN is able write data any time, it
does not have write protection function.
New EEPROM has "write protection" function. When pin 7 is set High (with
R7156) it will "write protect" making it unable to modify the data.
This function will keep EEPROM unable to write, unless, it is in convergence
adjustment mode. This will prevent unwanted EEPROM data change or lost.

Average adjustment time about 2 hours
