SU Board Isolation
The 2008 and 2009 plasma models are now designed not 
to turn-on if either the SU or SD board is disconnected.
Disconnecting either causes the unit to shutdown and the 
power LED to blink 7 times.
Unplugging SC41/SU41, SU11/SD11, and SC42/SD42, 
opens the interlocked connection between VF_GND and 
CHA on the SC board. This floats point “CHA” and a high 
is output to connector SC20 triggering shutdown.
To isolate the SU board:
Remove the 2 VF_GND screws on the SU board only.
Unplug connector SC41 on the SC board and SU11 on 
SU board.
Place a jumper between pins 1 and 2 of the empty 
connector SC50.
Note: This procedure could be useful when      
troubleshooting 7 blinks problems.
