Change your INPUT selector until you get back to TV/cable input or til you get back to the input that your sattelite/cable box is hooked into on the TV.
After much research for the same problem, I have come up with this one conclusion and a solution. No power boards needed to be changed out, it was a matter of finding bad capacitors with the same common problem of having the tops of these capacitors blown with arched tops and then replacing one or more capacitors within the power board. The results were all the same, it works.
You are likely replying to a different problem, but yes, bad capacitors are responsible for many failures these days in a vast amount of electronic circuits.
Most commonly, 1000uF and 3300uF capacitors seem to be going.
Ordering these parts from Digi-Key they are 73 cents a piece, and shipping seems to be a flat $8 charge, but they arrive the next day.
SuperTech-11, I stand corrected. I posted that before I tried to repair my own Hitachi P50H401 50" HD PLASMA TV leading towards finding one or more blown capacitors. I opened her up, but didn't find any? About a year or so ago, I was watching a DVD movie and heard a loud, "POP" sound, and the screen went black. I turned everything off, surround sound, DVR, DVD and tried to turn the TV back on, but I'll I got at start up was a red light first, then a blue light that kept on blinking for four times then stops and then it starts blinking all over again. What can I try next? Signed, a humbled reader.
