I did a hard reset on my tv Panasonic TC-P42X5 to come back on after a power outage. It worked!But NO VOLUME! I can't get volume to work. There is no sound, just picture.

Turn it off and wait about three days and see what happens. There were quite a few pannys sold a few years ago around 2011 where if the power was interrupted like that , they would not work normally until about three days later. Crazy, I know. But ...................

Whirlpool WRF560SEYB Refrigerator did not turn back on after power outage, display said "cooling off"

Sounds like you had a power outage?-- did the lights go dim for a few minutes, before the power actually went out?-- Sometimes, low voltage will cause the compressor motor to over heat-- so it might have to 'cool down'-- What happened next?-- Did you try it again an hour or so later/-- Tell us more-- Mack B

VT420M no sound or picture and turns off by itself

this sounds like a main board failure but a defective power supply can mimic some symptoms of a bad main board. I would recommend you get a diagnosis done on the set. If I was a betting man, I'd guess the main board

Calling for a older friend> ac power outage happened within 30 secs of each other. Now computer comes on and begins startup showing screen but shuts down and starts up all over again and again

Unplug everything, wait a few seconds and retry startup. But it almost sounds like a virus or malware was uploaded into the computer. Also try startup in "Safe-Mode". Hold down key marked "F8" after pressing the power on button.

Picture & sound go on & off every sec, red light blinks 5 times

helloFive blinks - AKB circuit (automatic kine bias), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about 30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with the video. Check video out, Q705, 732, 761 and other components on the C board, also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly.

You my have a bad capacitor. I had a similar problem with my 42 in Phillips. I did some research and found that a lot of electronic devices made only a few years ago were having all sorts of problems because of capacitors. They fail after 2-4 years due to a lack of preservative. If its still under warranty no big deal. If you are not, you might look into getting a new Power Supply Board.

If you are willing to open your TV up and take a look at the capacitors on the PSB(the board that the power cord comes into) you may find your problem. Blown capacitors look bulged or leak. sometimes they show no sign of a problem but if there are any visible signs you know for sure.

They are replaceable but it takes a few soldering skills.
