This video is designed to be a guide for testing and troubleshooting your TV repair. Please note that other complications may exist that aren't addressed in this guide. While we always strive to provide accurate and detailed information, we can't guarantee that it will fix your TV's issues.

Here at ShopJimmy.com, we have learned that while some Panasonic A Boards (aka Main Board) look alike and may even have the same board number, they are incompatible. In most cases, the clue to finding a compatible A Board lies within the suffix code grid printed on the circuit board. They can be hard to locate and difficult to decipher. This video tutorial shows how to identify the suffix grid on a Panasonic A Board, and how a sequence of open and closed resistors found near the grid determines the suffix code for each A Board.

Visit www.shopjimmy.com to search the hundreds of thousands of TV parts in our inventory.
Sometimes searching a Panasonic A Board number on shopjimmy.com returns multiple search results.
To the naked eye all of these search results look the same. and in some cases more than one part may even be listed for the same TV model numbers.
If you take a look at all the search results there is a note under each item containing suffix information.
You may ask yourself where did this suffix come from?
Although you may not have seen it at first glance, this suffix information is printed within a tiny grid on your Panasonic A Board.
Scan over your board until you find a grid of dots and letters.
While grid location may vary, these grids are commonly found along the edge of the board closest to the tuner and component inputs.
Not very far from the grid is a printed box that reads suffix.
Next to it is a printed box containing a line or lines of open and closed resistors.
A closed resistor means that there is a small coded medal piece or jumper connecting two adjacent silver solder points.
An open resistor means that there is no jumper connected between two adjacent silver solder points.
holding the board so that the suffix grip is upright and starting from the left identify the arrangement of open and closed resistors.
Each line on the suffix grid has a unique pattern of dots which represents an arrangement of closed resistors.
Find the arrangement of dots on the grid that match the arrangement of closed resistors on your board, and the corresponding suffix code for your a board will be printed next to it.
Going back to shopjimmy.com search your a board part number again this time including the correct suffix code at the end.
Unless otherwise noted the item in your search result will be the exact replacement for your original A Board.
