A friend gave me his 2009 Panasonic TC-P50S1 Plasma set because it died.
I'd like to get it going for a spare if possible.
The set will power on and click, the fans run on high speed for a second then it shuts down and the light flashes ten times. I have to unplug the set for a while to reset it so it will power on again.
Following this rather lengthy thread I'm getting the idea the SC board might be the problem.

If I disconnect the SC board I get the voltage at the power connector that slowly drops after it shuts down, the fans run at a normal speed, and it runs much longer before shutting down and then flashing code six (with the SC board disconnected)
Also if I plug the power connector back into the SC board I get a large spark and the voltage immediately drops to zero.
I would be willing to spend the money on a refurbed SC board if there was a high probability it would fix it.
