Panasonic TH-42PD50U 42 in. EDTV Plasma Television

Panasonic VieraWidescreen Plasma TV Model No... (by 4 users)

posted by satishyerra on Apr 14, 2007


Hi there,

It has been year since I dont have problem any more with Plasma, suddenly my Plasma TV is getting in standby mode and it turns of automatically with RED light- aledy (redlight -near ON/OFF Switch of TV)keeps constinously blinking

To restore back for temporary solution, i switch off the power completely and switch back again,

It blinks for sometime and plays very well for first 40 minutes, then it goes again in standby, then when i do the same process , this works for 10 minutes and then it goes to stand by

I checked all the setup menu , and made sure that the OFF TIMER is not activated

I am out of warranty and now I called a servce centre , they give my high quotes to just see for inital investigation

I doubt wether a change in power cord can save the problem ,

I am from australia, and there are no current fluctuations in my area,

Please advise

Thanks and regards
Satish

Same problem here. Panasonic TH-42PV30 (4 years old) Read on US website that it is a common problem with 6th Generation Panasonic Plasmas. Apparently it can be repaired with a 25cent part. I contacted Panasonic (even though it is out of warranty) They wouldn't confirm the problem and could only provide details of an authorised repairer.

Hi, you did not say how many times the red led flashes. This is an important clue as to where the problem might be. On some 6th generation plasmas, a regulator in the power supply could cause that problem and had to be replaced with an improved version.
