I'd say the fans look like they're spinning.

Love plasma sets they shouldnt have stopped making them they really could have got them down to two boards today

Nice one to you both. Interesting repair.

The fans were spinning from the very beginning how on earth he missed that il never know

Watching this from a Panasonic viera TX-37PV70P. Found it at the recycling center last week. Works great, no issues or burn-in. In good condition too, 13000 work hours. Great video Allen and greetings from Bulgaria!

Room heaters and TV, win win

That dgi camera needs super glueing in 1 fixed position!
And yes, those Panasonic backs are stupidly sharp, as I found out! 😂

The fans were running when you first looked @ 4:20

My parents had exactly this TV. It was a brilliant piece of kit. Unfortunately, it died from one day to the next a few years ago, without any warning. Still, it lasted over 15 years.

I had one of these, was glad to get rid of it - adequate picture quality, but power supply failure within 5 years, and the Fujitsu 50" 58ebb plasma I replaced it with was a massive upgrade in picture quality.

In 2009 I bought a LG 50PS3000 plasma for £684. It had a great picture although the shiny glass was a nightmare for reflections on the room I was in. Problem with the LG model was some power board failed after 14 months, it was replaced under warranty but failed again 4 months later so I ended up giving it away. As I said the picture was great, blacks were dark and the contrast to light colours was amazing. It used to heat the room though, standing near the screen you thought you were next to a radiator.

5:15 these are done at the factory, the pen marks are evidence the inspector has validated the caps have been fitted the correct way around by the assembly operator.

The D board and the one above it was combined into the A board on the newer plasmas.

If that's 20 years old, it can't have had much use. My Pioneer Kuro which was £2K full price lasted 16 years.

Highly regarded this model as it only has 1.2ms of lag, also a quality sound from this one. The boards are interchangeable btw.  
It will not of been that cap, it would've been that board that needed to be reseated in the connector.

Nice tv is it a 37 inch also which is a rarer size

Still digging my Panasonic plasma from 2008. Not sure about the model. 42 inch. Never had a single problem.

The first Plasma TV I remember was a 42 inch JVC, more a big monitor than a TV as I don't think it had a tuner and I'm sure the resolution was only 480p, certainly not HD or even HD Ready as it was composite video and SD only via a BNC plug, no HDMI although I think it had a VGA input for a PC.

Great looking tv if it works i see no reason to buy a new set these were much better quality .
