Hi, we have a similar problem, tv (42" viera full HD) is less than a week old - worked fine for 2 days after installation, then switched on today and got the green light followed by red flashing light, but 11 flashes. No images/sound at all. Have tried resting it for 30 minutes, unplugging from surge protector socket/changing power sockets, also the holding in power button solutions suggested. Help! The number of other posts is worrying - not sure if I want another one, this is my first plasma. Jo, Queensland.

Panasonic th-42pz700u
Using the remote to turn the unit on, for a second the sound came on. after this no picture/sound. 7 Red blinks on the power indicator...
Unplugged from the surge protector, direct in the wall and back again all with the same result. No picture/sound - just 7 red blinks.
It will be serviced within a few days/warranty.
However, reading that I am not the only one that experience this problem and as there seems to be a structural problem wondering if this 'brand' is wrongly marked as the "number one."
thanks for this opportunity,
best regards
tom

Very similar problem, TH-PZ77U, brand new, has not yet "worked" as every attempt to turn it on has it come on for maybe 2 seconds, appear to work then shut down on its own. Red flashing series of 11. Have tried disconnecting all peripherals, connecting in different configs, totally removed and plugged into different electrical socket ... all with no success. Have submitted questions to Panansonic technical support but of course nobody is working the weekend. Stressed to see so many internet posting of similar issues. Paul in Cambridge Ontario

Hi I am in Australia and having a similar problem. I have a TH-42PZ700A (not recognized on your forum) that is only a week old. After working fine we tried to start it and the light flashes green as if for a normal start up. Then there is a split second of sound and the light changes to red and flashes in a repeating 7 flash cycle.
We have tried turning off for over an hour. We have tried an alternative power source and holding down the chanel change button. We have also tried not using the surge protector and plugging directly into the wall socket. Finally we tested the power outlet and surge protector and found it to have a stable power supply.
Any other suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
WizFor those in areas other than in the US, I can't really say what the issue might be as the SOS patterns may be different for different countries. But, if you can find a service manual for your area you should be able to at least get an idea of what might have happened to it. There's no guarantee that what you read is the actual problem without further testing, however.
